I hope everyone has been enjoying the great weather as much as I have...it is nice to be able to ride the non-beater in March!
Does anyone know if there is a Toronto shop that sells Vittoria Pit Stop sealant? I have a slow leak on a tubular and want to see if I can fix it with this stuff....thanks.

feeling fine - i don't think i was really injured, just miffed at the guy for messing up my wheel. my lbs trued it gratis so i haven't followed up with the guy. actually i think i'll call the licensing office today.
on another note - anyone know who sells helmets for toddlers (i thought i saw some at sweet pete's)? i really want to get my kid out in the trailer but need to protect his nut first.

if you order a helmet through a shop you can get your choice of silly graphic...
i just read a recommendation that a child should be a year before going in a trailer. 9 more months?? say it ain't so!!
(i know it's more about individual muscle control, but still.
)
ps. we learned that the bumper pads for trailers sold by burley are not, in fact, meant for cycling. sigh.
edit: pps. glad you're ok after your accident!

you're right, they need to be a year or about 20lbs; he just turned one so we had our maiden voyage in the trailer yesterday and he was down with it. although i think i need to gear down the fixed a little as i ended up walking some of the hills in high park.
i ended up getting him a nut case "little nutty" which is, as pyze would say, a total hipster helmet..........

Lower gearing is a good idea. I can ride with the trailer on my bike with 46/16 but I prefer the bike with 42/16. Easier to slowdown and can make it up hills like Greenwood and Jones. Good brake pads are a nice idea too.
