^^ That ****'s racist. Why are all the bike thieves black? That's 1994 for ya'

lol @ the bikes

Har de har har har. Looks like he was trying to throw his rider into the first turn. What a rookie. His rider prolly would have been D.Qed anyway.
I went down to Unwin this morning to paint but alas the measuring wheel made it to 9 meters and then jammed on me. Craptacular! I guess I could grab some chalk and just mark out some arbitrary lines so we can mess around tonite. I didn't want to just go willy-nilly with the paint as once the lines are in paint it is pretty much permanent. Perhaps a postponement till next week is in order? I cant make an executive decision ala Kurt Russell.

No, I just got it as a good quality first aid reference. EMT never interested me much. I'm not that altruistic.

heehee that throwdown makes me giggle.

if they're cleaning out us ssfg non-sequitur scum, are they going to do the same for the roadie forum? :rolleyes:

this sucks. i'd pitch $5 or something for a toronto board.

wait a minute. after actually reading the announcement... it's a joke.

It felt nice for a bit to think about it all being shoveled into oblivion.

haha, is someone feeling a little down and out today?

I think I could handle 9m sprints! How long is it supposed to be?

damn, is that this sunday? it's been many years since i rode that one. once again, i'm too out of shape. enjoy it mitch; you're riding a fixed gear i hope!

I had heard about the hairshirt in past years, and a friend asked if I wanted to do it this year.. after psyching myself up into training, I realized that it was this week! My longest rides so far have only been 80-90km with a group, averaging about 30 kph.. any thoughts on what kind of training would be required for such a ride?

I think I need to get at least a full (imperial) century under my belt before I consider a double.

The usual configuration is marks painted at 0m, 100m, 200m and 300m. The first 100 is a get clipped in, up to speed segment..no one can start to sprint before the 100m line. The sprint distance is between the 100 and 300 meter lines. Once past 100 either racer can start his sprint at any time. Sometimes the sprint doesn't happen until 50m to go...sometimes they go right at the 100 mark...ya never know. Everyone starts by doing an individual 200m time. This time will determine the 2-up heat match-ups.

Ah... that sounds like a good setup. I was screwing around this morning with my 46X17 gearing and thinking I was going to get smoked on the start... but now I know it's a moving start that sounds much more feasible. :)

So since Jit5 seems to be such an avid racer, I wonder if he's going to show up and school everyone in the sprints.

Well it is supposed to be fixed only but if he wants to show up I will let him compete. Altho being such a elite racer *cough* Poseur *cough* I am sure he has better things to do *cough* Trolling *cough*

ZING!!

:rolleyes:

looks a lot like the Puma bike.

:eek:I dont know why but that thing reminds me of the GMC pseudo-mtb's I see at Canadian Tire and Walmart.

Hey You're right. Perhaps I'll "partner" with biomega to make one of my own signature bikes too!

Looks identical 'cept the SAAB one has the 8 spd internal (for an extra $300 apparently). Cable downtubes died a long time ago for a reason! Add a break in the top tube and you're really pushing your luck IMO

:lol: I heard all Saabs come with GPS, does that include this model? is the stereo compatable with my ipod?...;)

On my way into the UofT today, I saw two bike cops that had pulled over a cyclist just south of baldwin on beverley (st. george south of college), for what I assume was running a stop sign. I'd much prefer if they'd deal with the purolator trucks parked in the bike lanes instead, but I guess that's outside of their jurisdiction?

They do that intersection every year bout this time, no foot down required so long as you stop. I've never seen such devotion to a particular intersection during yearly enforcement exercises
