Man, that is pretty low. Look at the bright side, at least you don't have to talk about why your relationship didn't work for the next 3 weeks. Quick and painful.

But in order to get dumped you had to find her in the first place, and that required you to move out West.
Buck up little trooper, you're riding some of the best bikes in existence in some of the country's best terrain.
That's a win/win right there. pffft young people..

Oof, sorry to hear that. If she was still in Toronto, LD relationships are a real struggle. Give yourself a bit to grieve it out and then switch to eligible bachelor mode. And don't forget, we all love you

It is disappointing, to be sure, but I don't think too much will change. He will probably ask cops to hand out more tickets for cycling infractions but that might be a good thing in the long run...still, I was hoping for Pantalone, I like his ideas for Toronto.

Well, he's gonna hire 100 more cops so there'll definitely be more cops around to give out tickets.

Can someone recommend me a good bike shop close to Yonge and bloor area that stocks parts. I need a threadless quill stem, drop bars, and maybe some grips.

Bikes On Wheels
Sweet Petes
Urbane Cyclist

Although I can't imagine Sweet Pete's carrying quill stems and track grips.

Also, none of them are at Yonge & Bloor. A bikeshop at Yonge & Bloor would be ridiculously expensive to run.

A man does not truly know the meaning of happiness until he is married.


And by then it's too late.....

Hi y'all, now that the white stuff is on the ground, I hope everyone is riding extra safe out there. I saw quite a few close-calls on my ride today, both from cyclists and cars so I'm going to go a little slower until everyone gets back into winter mode.

Oh, and I got a sweet new ride that I won't be riding for quite a few months
