A cart.. you're down with the lingo and everything. Good 'ol college radio, still using technology that's been outdated since the 1970s.

Is there a site which discloses safety, schools, etc about neighbourhoods? I am helping a friend find a house, and I don't know what's a good neighbourhood or a bad one (with a few exceptions). Is there something that shows crime rates etc?

be careful about over-generalizing some areas; certainly there are some neighbourhoods that have been dealing with gangs and gun crime, but, as i'm sure you probably know, crime statistics will only tell you so much about what's really going on.

You work there? I brought my bike in yesterday to get the gears aligned (I am the worst mechanic on the planet!) and you guys were too busy to take it. Three week waiting list!

Yeah, probably not a good idea to take it to us if you need something done quickly. You could just drop by bikechain. They'll be happy to help you out.

Does anyone know if American Classic rim/hubs/wheelsets are sold anywhere in the city? I am thinking of getting a used set but the freewheel is currently Campy and I would like to switch it to Shimano, which means I will probably have to take it in to a shop at some point. I've never seen them for sale but then again, I haven't been actively looking.

Hey guys!
Here's the news from the Cycle Courier World Championships in Dublin: I didn't do all that well
I didn't qualify for the main race. I was able to keep up with the fastest riders in my group not one person passed me... but I made a couple of stupid mistakes with my route and ended up having to make two extra laps. So yeah. Same thing happened to Kuz. It was totally a blast though. And the main race was yesterday and yesterday it rained all day and I was really sick and didn't even end up leaving my hostel. So actually it kind of worked out in a ****tily practical way. I've met some really cool people, in particular people from Frankfurt, Helsinki, Chicago and London that I hit it off with. Woot! Unfortuneately I can't find my camera at the moment so no pictures until I get that sorted out. Sorry about that. I'm really bummed about that. Ok I'm on my way out to the trackstand comp. (I'm going to see if I can get a spot with a little slope and compete on my road bike) Talk to yous laterses.
Sincerely Dan FASTon
