I thought the same thing when I read Jet's post :D

I have two words (from the main form) "Scraper Bike"

Oh my.

stupid rain.

it poured just long enough for me to get soaked riding home from work and then stop once i was safely inside.

think i may try that cycling cap sewing project if i get a few minutes.

Better than -30 with freezing rain

That's hot (on several levels). :)

Something about they can play tough with me anyday.

Holy good mother of g.. Nice.

Rob: any luck with that cog/lockring? Still want me to bring that butane torch by Bikechain tomorrow?

I've never quite understood how it works.
All i know is that there are two freewheels.
Never mind, I just answered my own question.

A poor mans Nestor bike. That "tensioner" looks like it would fold with the first hard effort.

What are the requirements for the 75km at the Ride for Heart? good morning all.

$60 minimum fundraising + $40 registration fee ($50 after May 31).. correct me if I'm wrong.

crawlin' over the site that seems right..... dang... I almost wouldn't mind the fidy....but 110buks to ride the DVP?

"We ask that participants selecting either of these options to collect a minimum of $60 in pledges as these are privileged routes and cost more to run."

Privileged....don't cha know @ 7:15am.... I don't feel very privileged @ that hour. Hmmmm I kind of want to borrow a bud's geared roadie.. slap my pedals on and whaaaaaaaa.

i don't see how it costs and more to run the 75km route considering it's just and extra loop of the dvp from bloor to york mills. and yes, it's the best way to stay away from the mass of fair-weather cyclists. start at 6am and ride with the usual doughnut crowd. you should be done in two hours.

cavernmech,

Two things: Do you have 16t Dura-chay 1/8th cog and how much? Can you have a look at my headset after I'm done work @ approx. 545pm today? Pretty please?

110... not worth it. Sorry Ride for Heart, I might have done the 50, but ...... pass. Maybe I'll just wait they're fixing it again.... :lol:

Yes I have a 16 Dur-Ah-Awt-Say cog...$30. H.S. is still working loose on ya? Bring it by for a look-see. I think 1 1mm spacer in yer H.S. will be in order.

Just sneak thru the start like all the other $ challenged folks do.

Anyone on this forum who's paying municipal taxes, and I think most everyone does whether you rent or own, should ask the question of whether they're getting fair value for their tax dollar out of the Don valley parkway. If not, and I know I don't, I'd say go ahead and ride it for free.

There are people eating doungnuts of the ride? Awesome. I doubt I'll be done 75 km in 2 hours, more like 3 1/2, especially with all those doungnuts.

Oh yeah...if someone tries to give you a hard time about it just look at them quizically and start babbling in some weird foreign language.
