Side note: if anyone wants a *very good* deal on a "54cm" Mistry Grey 2007 Surly Cross-Check, do be in touch. We had a bit of a shipping error so I can either send this thing back or give someone a sweet buttery forums love deal on it.

How fast can the cop horses go on asphalt? Do they have special shoes?

You have a talent for unearthing the hidden meaning in questions
I inadvertently blew a red in front of a mounted cop yesterday... and he didn't give chase, but I wasn't sure if it was 'cause he was lazy, he didn't care, or he knew he'd never catch me.

Maybe not faster in a straight line, but it ain't going to do a 90 left without overshooting about 3 nautical miles.

As for grilling steaks, sea salt or kosher salt, fresh ground pepper or butchers pepper, oil and grill at really high heat. If you want medium rare and above, turn the grill low and let it cook after searing. Steak cooks best low heat, chicken is high heat. Best steaks I cooked at work I'd sear and let sit on a shelf above the grill for 5-6 minutes. Absolutly sexy when done. Nice breakfast Rob.

The risk to a horse on pavement is waaay too great for such a silly thing as a red light biker. Now thundering down the back side of Mount Royal in MTL to chase illegal MTBr's (when they closed it to riders) is something entirely different.... damn they were fast....scary and the cops loved the chase... I think the horse did too.

Speaking of which, when are we going to have the pleasure of seeing you on the trails? Are you going revert the mtb to trail duty once the Paké takes over street duty?

one time i was stopped at a red light beside a huge pile and two conservative-looking middle-aged ladies were talking to each other about how unpleasant it was and why nothing was done about it, and were all like "it must not be very nice for cyclist"... so i was all like "yeah, exactly!" i felt rather vindicated. like, for sure.

CXP33/Surly wheelset on C.L. for $200...someone grab those...excellent deal. The rims alone are worth that.
