Welcome to my ghetto. MEC sells them in Toronto, and some days, they are needed. (funny today is another smog alert day, now that you mention it).

Some riders I know who are mildly asthmatic have found they can go faster breathing through one of those some days, as it keeps the gunk out of the lungs. I briefly tried one myself and found that any benefits of less particulate were offset by reduced air intake through the hepa mesh, although it was better than I thought it would be.

I personally haven't noticed much problem with smog alert days....but they are increasing in frequency and severity here, so I may end up coughing up black tar at the end of the ride one of these days. Then maybe I'll wear one. Under the full-face.

Yeah I remember To...smog, heat and humidity. I dont miss it much. Used to go so far as Guelph (hometown)....just plain gross. With the milder temps and limited roads, people in bc don't know what bad smog is like, I just forgot :D

Guelph?...I went to the UoG from '94 to 98, Mael, you ever ride back then with the speed river guys or the campus bike club? Good times, back in the day. And the trails there weren't bad for southern ontario. Sorry for drifting off-topic..

Reminds me of scorpion from mortal combat....

I didn't ride back then, biking for me is new (3 or 4 years)...but I knew the group. I was good friends with the owner of bits and bikes and he wanted to get me into it pretty badly.

Guelph lake trails have grown from what I heard, even a shore trail in there :) Funny you went during the time I was still there. I used to spend a lot of time at the "ear", trash and Jimmy jazz...heck who I am kidding, I also spent a lot of time at molly blooms, woolich arms and even denim ...(1.5 beer nights), also that one watering 'hole' up by the church of our lady...kind of miss that scene, so many girls so little time :)

Sorry for drifting even more off topic :)

So I guess that means you won't be doing the walk across the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. :D

yeah...i love the one with the blue suit....the one with the iceeee power...

hihi~SUBZEROs

I would think you'd need that in downtown London(England). Visited there several years ago(without our bikes) and we had to turn around and go back to the hotel after walking a couple blocks. Sheesh!



Isn't there some crazy long bridge down in the Keys somewheres? That would suck for Koffee.
