Sara's ss cx bike
Sara's roadie scum bike

Mike's ss cx bike
Mike's geared cx bike
Mike's ss 29er
Mike's geared 29er

Possible additions of Sara's tt bike and Mike's track bike in the future.

Orange Sport sells a 4 bike free standing unit that looks pretty nice. Dont have the cat in front of me but I think its like $100ish cost.

one of those things that stack against the wall? you guys don't have basement storage eh? i've got canadian tire j-hooks screwed into the ceiling in the basement and they tuck into a corner nicely.

It was quite a while ago that I dinged mine. After 10 days of Eye-patch (Yarrrr!!) and drops it was semi o.k. It stills gets a sting in it every so often. I always wear glasses for such operations but it was my stinkin' helmet strap buckle that got me.

My pleasure.. nice to see you at bikechain. How did the mini-mudflap do at keeping your feet dry? I keep threatening to buy some freddies but have heard varying reports on how well they do.

They're good, but they need a mudflap added.

I lost my rear blinkie on the way home. I'm pretty sure the guy behind me ran over it deliberately...

Soon.

Gingerbread today. So tasty.

Since the weather is so nice tonight I'm staying in to build a bike. Can't decide if it will be a s/s mtb for the winter, or geared with dirt drops.

Bah I read that as "build a cake".

That too. Devils chocolate sounds good. Choc cake made with coffee is sexier than your almond legs.

The chocolate in mole sauce doesn't really appear in taste, but more of a base flavour, helps add depth. Tasty though, especially with poblanos.

Hopefully you landed on a pile of kittens. Everyone check your chains! I dropped as well last night while hopping a curb. Someone/something is trying to steal them.

-7 jeeze.

Wes I noticed you had a PB superflash on the rear last time you were in - is the light bright? Superbright? Supergood?

It is a good one: when I put mine on, I had some guy in a pick-up tell me it was bright, so I asked him if he was f-ing with me, but he said no. Later, I had some people on the sidewalk give me a similar comment. Seems to have lost brightness over the past 2.5 months, so it might need new batteries.

I've really been enjoying my current setup (front light on the shoulder strap of my backpack ... basically where my clavical is, rear light on the light loop in the back) but it seems I'm not visible from the sides at times. I've started wrapping a reflective band around each arm at the elbow but <infinite dork>does anyone know any velcro bands that also light up?</infinite dork> I really like not having to worry about my stuff getting ripped off when I'm not on the bike, but I don't want some assride side-swiping me either.

PS. Ho-ly **** was last night's ride home intense. Between the wind and the power outtage and the cold I was REALLY glad to just make it home in one piece. Riding down Queen street with only my front light to light the way was surreal. Oh, bonus points to the idiot peds who thought they'd casually saunter across the street - in the middle of a complete black-out ... while wearing black. Nice, dude(s).

Both my front and back lights unclip from thier brackets on the frame, I just throw them in my bag whenever I lock up and at home. Too cold to leave on the bike, kills the batteries.
