Great idea:)

I've had "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" stuck in my head for three days now. I'd post a YouTube clip but all I could find was the obnoxious "make the song into a mini-movie" video or crappy live footage.

Seriously though, don't trust your soul to some backwoods southern lawyer.

I mean it, the judge in the town has blood stains on his hands.

It's a good song, but it will forever remind me of awkward early teen slowdancing.

Why is it that when there's snow on the ground cars drive about 2' to the right? I was getting buzzed by cars in the center lane while riding in the middle of the curb lane on college. And these aren't cars that had been behind me and were swinging around, they were just driving in the center lane. Oy!

Oh well.. hopefully the sun will take care of the crud that's closer to the curb and in the bike lanes during the day today.

In my mind, the holder of that title is "November Rain" [no link for the good all people].

There's video of Skip James online?! Wow.

Devil Got My Woman - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB2POWSnStU
I'm So Glad - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1UodvH6zFw

There's more to be found. They should show up in basic search results.

:lol:

that's what i had repeating in my head yesterday

seriously. i've taken to making a "shooing" motion when i hear cars coming up behind me. i'm just worried i'll misjudge and get my arm broken off :(

whatever tires that brad put on my re-build seem to be working well though, haven't lost traction on the ice yet, although i have cut my speed by about 50%

That 'crete curve was the built for a car commercial in the middle of nowhere, skaters have been riding that thing forever. Nothing like monster vert to test your resolve. My feet were blissfully unaware of any cold this morning. Those eskimos are soo toasty.

Well, how about that?

lawlz. You should see a doctor 'bout that. :D

Naw, son. That ****'s tight, yo.

elephantitis of the frontal tube?

There's a doc in Boston that will take care of that for you.

still got that big gnarly heater up above the mezzanine?

yes and it still sucks

I have no clue who you are in "real life", but I'm sure we've met at sprints or something. anyhoo, I just wanted to say that the deathwish vinyl downloads thing is teh awesome. :) (just got on your site via your sig)

Also file under awesome: the music mix I'm getting via last.fm this morning. Lots of music I listened to in the early/mid 90s, along with some wacky things like Billie Jean by MJ. Good times. :D

edit: YES. Now it's "Jailbreak" by Thin Lizzy. Gold! :P

Ha! Most definitely... I think I must have had the tube twisted or something and it finally gave out and blew the tire off the rim. I did mount the tire pretty hastily the other day trying to get out on the road in a hurry so it wouldn't suprise me... It gave my co-workers quite the fright this morning, though, when it blew out!

It looks like either the bead wasn't properly seated in the rim or perhaps the tube was pinched between the tire and rim. I've had that happen a couple of times. Twice it happened in my office as well. I came back from lunch and as soon as I walked in someone said "you have a flat tire" and I asked how they knew... they just pointed. "oh". :)

that's ok we are in the same boat, i have no idea who you are in real life ... and yeah the deathwish vinyl downloads should work out great, i think everyone is stoked on them and i'm glad we finally did that ... i wanted to do it with the new site launch earlier in the year but they were kind of wishy washy on it at first ... working on doing straight up digital downloads now

thin lizzy - jailbreak = one of my all time favorite records

Well, next time I come out to sprints I'll ask Matt if you're around. Then... IT'S ON! :P

Icy dicey today, definitely bad move forgetting a scarf/headwear duppy :eek:

I have found drivers driving split-laned a bit, but for the most part they've been pretty accommodating. True test will be riding east tonight, yay for fun :p

Almost took the MTB today, but chose roadie - most of the majors are clear enough. I walked the bike to Ronces down Marion, though (ice is my concern, snow was a breeze) :p

Horrors of spam: "Beat her womb with your new rod!"

Seriously, WHAT THE ****?!

Da28 32h w/stickers = 489.88g
HB-7600 F.hub w/track nuts = 238.3g
r.hub w/track nut + lockring = 315.8g

How prickish is TTC about bikes on the subway during rushhour? I'll have the folded picnica today, but it would be a pain to ride all the way to Keele station....

I think you'd be ok with a folder.. hella smaller than a full on bike... Kids carry bags bigger than a folded bike

I think you could do better than an Alex DA28 to lace up to a dura-ace hubset. :) Even Velocity Aeroheads are roughly 405g (claimed)... although I have no idea what the price difference is between the two.

they definitely have a no bike policy during rush hour

but how much do the ttc employees actually care? probably not at all

i was tempted to post a pic of john merrick, but i thought i'd spare everyone. poor guy.

just saw someone in the market booting around on one of those and thought of you. quite nifty looking. with the ttc it might depend on the mood of the ticket taker, but hopefully if it's folded they won't notice.


as i was putting my gear back on after being in a store i noticed a gentleman waiting in a car outside the window; he looked absolutely enthralled by this process, and continued to look on as brad and i were unlocking. i can only imagine his wonderment that people - and a couple, no less - actually can be okay about riding in "this weather".

yeah, that's more or less what I've thought. I'll be getting on at Donlands heading West so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I wish I had a shoulder bag big enough to fit it, though. The ones I have are either too short or not wide enough :-p. Considering it's a lot smaller than a double wide baby carriage, it's idiotic. I can carry a 12 foot ladder onto the TTC but my bike is prohibited. Nice going TTC.

if it's all folded up ...just pretend it's a mobility assistance device.. in like Flynn
