in other news, i just replaced my very old cell phone with a schmancy new phone (with camera!!) this afternoon and i'm quite amused. |
I just want to post on page 1000, so yes bikes rule especially those with a single gear, even more so if its a fixed sort of gear.
|
You,...page 1000 hanger on... :lol:
|
Yes! Down with plastic bags! I like it when stuff that I think should happen actually happens.
Uh... fixed gear is cool. |
I'm personally only on page 833...

Ha ha.

And I had fun trucking my new Sumolounge omni home on my back today. As an aside, anyone want a Queen size futon with two covers and/or a four drawer filing cabinet? And to keep it fixie related, I was unlocking my bike today when a guy walked up with his wife and kids and started asking me about my "crazy bike". After he invited his wife to feel my thighs, we chatted for a few minutes before they went on their way. Fixies provide an interesting way to meet people. This is now my favourite fixie encounter pre-empting the one with IBrad and Zippered where a women was showing her grandson how fixed gears worked (she rode at Forest Hill velodrome). Oh, and here's the police news release on our raging boy in blue: http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/newsr...pdfs/11855.pdf |
You're analog. Go page 1000

Damn i wish i worked at Cannondale and could create my own custom frames and project bikes...

Today I met a guy riding a Cervelo Soloist Carbon along Harbord. Nice guy, said he used to work at Cervelo and got the bike for free(!) I told him I thought they just got a really good discount and he said he just asked his boss if it made sense for him to be riding a beat-up old Bianchi (which he said is still a fantastic riding bike btw) and not advertising for Cervelo and then held his breath. It would appear his angle worked. Sounds like an interesting idea to me... |

Down with you! "If you get a chance, talk to him," he concludes. "Tell him this from my heart. I'm telling you this from my heart. I feel sorry for him and ... tell him I said God bless him. God bless us all." |
i had a great time tonight hanging out in the alley after work watching our drunk sous-chef trying to ride my fixie; i tried to explain it to him that it is a no-coastie kind of deal "yeah, sure" then he rides away and i hear yelling "this bike is broken or something - i crushed my nuts! where's the brake on this thing! only one!". i was amused...

This just in from Spacing.ca http://spacing.ca/wire/?p=1861
The Driver Was a Cop!!! UPDATE: a news release came across our desks just a moment ago: the driver is a police officer! (albeit, an officer on leave). “On Wednesday, May 9, 2007, an off?duty Toronto Police Service officer was charged with Assault Causing Bodily Harm.
