How did scotchnight go?

Very much so.

Anyone remeber the name of the skate video? Want to see that again.

somnambulant 02-23-08 10:24 PM

It was from one of the Mullen vs. Song videos, and it was just the Rodney Mullen section of it.

Besides Urbane I ment. I don't like the skinny asian guy who works there, always trying to get me to take the stickers off my bikes.

I have a 1" threaded to threadless adaptor w/ some shims you could have.
I honestly have no use for it. the thing is though I'll be back from school in easter if you can wait that long.

Thanks. I'm in no rush so that should work out great.

Oh man. You know those "Jesus Christ Church" people? who dress very formally, and try and convert you while you sit on the bus (well... at least they do to me). Well I almost got doored by one of them today as he got out of a car, like I managed to slide to a stop in front of him, coming up Christie to Dupont right at the lights as I was slowing down.

And he said nothing but "damn", being the fast-talking-not-thinking person that I can be after a bad day at work, I asked him if dooring cyclists was good karma then told him the price for dooring cyclists was $300+ (I don't know how much it is, but I figure I say its lots, people will think again when exiting cars)


ps: Anyone else see the burning car a Bathurst and Bloor?

Uh no. That's carey. Hehe.

Eugene is 2nd right. The article is dated Oct, 2007. But that picture was much earlier than that.

Anyone else ride along Harbord in the past 24h or so? I think in an attempt to clear snow along the curb the city managed to make the bike lane way worse. It's like they scooped off the top 75% of the snow bank, but then squished the remaining 25% down so that it now takes up the full bike lane again along most of Harbord. Most of the lane had been peeking through, and now it's back to square one. *sigh*

On the other hand, yesterday was absolutely lovely for riding. I think I actually got a slight sunburn on my face from my ride yesterday morning! Total raccoon styles of course since I was wearing my sunglasses/helmet/etc.

I_bRAD 02-25-08 08:48 AM

Yeah, yesterday was an awesome day for a ride. Glad I dragged my ass out there!

jeremywhitehorn 02-25-08 08:59 AM

it looks like another great riding day today! i'm at least going out for a spin later.

Give me a call if you wanna grab a coffee, I'd also like to get out and enjoy some sunshine before the snow hits again tomorrow.

Yep - had to divert south off Bloor, east and back to Bathurst/Bloor via sidestreets around that Mirvish block... I had my daughter in the trailer on the back, and strangely enough passed my boss in the traffic. We finally parted ways at Broadview/Danforth - and I ride pretty slow with the trailer, so it goes to show how bad traffic can be.

Riding was definitely nice yesterday, even though I had the trailer on to add to the workload. I came back across town somewhat safetied and drunk last night close to midnight, so not really sure but it was nice this morning too on the way in. I finally brought my camera out again, this time with a handlebar mount - I'm just copying it over so I'll post it up if it's any good.
