I'd love to know where this guy rode his bike, if not outdoors. https://toronto.craigslist.org/bik/375366714.html

As for the onion -- I heartily agree. Before my Air Zound decayed into a heap of useless rubber, the horn was much more effective than swearing and fist shaking.
EDIT: Just checked fgg for the first time in a few days.. anyone else catch this awesome Run DMC inspired bike? Not so much in terms of bike porn, but i love all the little touches (especially the adidas bling)...

Hey guys. Im almost down to LA, waiting for my wheel to be rebuilt as it finally died. You should all do this ride. Its been fan freaking tastic. Anyways I'm getting prepared to head back to Vancouver so that I can do a marathon across canada. I'm going to try for speed and go really lightweight with long days. Can any of you fools who have done Van-TO tell me how many km I am in for and if there are any books/maps etc. that would be helpful? I'm looking to get from Van-TO in less than 30 days so I want to see if that is feasable. Cheers buddies I hope you're enjoying the humidity... I'm enjoying a cool sea breeze on a hot day. Sweeet!
PS. A pm would be nice as I can't check this thread very often.

Did you guys see this during the TdF? Hard to believe that the carbon wheel went smoooosh so fast and on such a soft object too....weird. Don't let the title of the clip scare you, the doggy is fine and even gives the camera an apologetic look.

I missed that.. ugh. I hate stupid dog owners. I don't have a problem with the pets, just their twit owners. Unlike bratty/loud children, I don't have patience for them OR their parents.
Edit: scratch that, I just hate people.
