Bike Forums - Toronto Fixed

That's wicked, thank you so much! If you put it in an envelope with my name on it and ask to leave it behind the counter for me that would be perfect. I know all but one person there so chances are someone I'll know will be working. ;) You can tell them the coffee is on me, too!

Good luck! Getting the loan is the easy part. Not blowing it on bike stuff is the hard part.

Cool book idea, thanks for the link Brad.

Sprints tonight? I've got that ride up to 400/7 tomorrow, but I'll still drop by on the way west tonight if it's on like donkey kong.

Hey look at that, I found this place again. Man I miss it here. Stupid non-bike life.

Anywho...

As it stands, sprints are on - despite my saying to Will earlier they were not happening due to the awful weather we were supposed to be in the middle of. However, that being said I will try and post an update on here - and msg the Facebook group - before 8pm with my final answer.

And on that note, we're also working on a ****e weather contingency that could possibly take the shape of a bimonthly indoor event. This is of course pending some logistical issues that some of you may receive somewhat cryptic pm/email/phone call/etc's regarding. I assure you, this is not on purpose so much as my style of running with a project that is a somewhat of an incomplete thought, but so far so good :D

Yeah, it's awesome. My front 5-LED planet-bike light seems plenty bright (for being seen) as well, but it's kind of giant and hideous. :P

Thanks man! I wish I was but I'm leaving for Ottawa late in the afternoon on Friday so unfortunately I won't be able to partake.

Maybe I'll see you on the highway. I'm heading to Ottawa on Friday as well... Gonna do the cx race (@ Terry Fox Athletic Centre) on Sunday morning if you're bored. :) I assume you have a ride already, otherwise you're welcome to come along in my veehickle.

I used to put two MEC frogs on pointing out to the side off the headtube. Seemed to work pretty well from a visibility standpoint and quick like a bunny to take off.

So no Betty's for you lads on Friday then ?
We need a viable way of mounting SunGunTM aircraft landing lights.....

We are on page 1337! Woo!

I picked up a superflash on lunch today and JHC it's bright. 1/2w LED is almost overkill I think. At any rate here's a PSA, Dinottes having a sale again. 200L lithium ion version + tailights. The 140L tailights is like a 3w LED or so. Still waiting for an affordable bright front light.

2.5 months?? HEhe. Grab the energizer recharegeable kit at Walmart $19.99, 4x 2500mah nimh rechargeables + charger. Can pickup a 4x AAA 900mah set for like $13.

Was at Cycle Solutions in the beaches, and was told they are off. Would someone like to confirm?

Is that a bump of, "yes, sprints are on. Learn to read, ******," or, "uncertain..."?

TRaffic Jammer

11-28-07 07:26 PM

I would NEVER "learn to read" anyone...merely pushing to the front.. I checked the FB group and no mention...I'm thinkin' it's on. Anyone got's the good Dr's . digits to be certain?

ok .... I'll be uncertain for perfect clarity. :lol:
