I. Hate. Streetcar tracks. Swollen wrist, and knee. Many thanks to the driver who was aware of the cyclist ahead of him (me) and was driving accordingly so that he didn't smoke me when I went down.

Boo (falling) / yay (not getting run over) ...

ow ow , glad you remain unsmoked Pyze.

Quick, why did Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella?!

FO' DRIZZLE!!!

:lol:thanks man I needed a giggle, not a fun ride in today... still fuming

Idiot drivers or road conditions?

i thread around this cager at the light at pape
looong gone by the time he gets green
up near j simpson near degrassi
he pulls up ..paces me while driving through giant slush
soaking me from head to toe
simply B/c I eff passed him while he stodd still
so fukkin pissed
then the effin coward pulls to centre lane at red @ broadview
i'm litterally COVERed in slush
bag full of it
so.... I pull over at broadview as I see light go red
grab a basketball sized lump of slush and snow and crap from side of road
dripping off my gloves.. walk over to his car where he sits pretty pleased with himself having a smoke
and he smiles as I walk up to his window.... so... I stuff the crap in through the 6inch crack in the window all over his suit
... odd he's not smiling anymore
light goes green and so he can;t get out (thank god b/c I woulda put the boots to him like I have never done to anyone)
pickup behind him is laughing his ass off, "i saw what he did to you dude" honks to move the ahole along
I'm still cranked with anger

haha. I'm with the pickup driver.

Not proud/pleased with myself at all. I know I should have enjoyed at least some aspect of it, but I didn't....still don't. Frankly I'm somewhat embarrassed, by just how angry I let this guy make me.

Hey no damage done at least.

Andrew...we are all proud/pleased with you!!!

play on playa!

d0000d dont get me started...i ranted to andrew 'bout this and many more expensive comics being thrown out by mom years ago...you can tell im mad cause i havent let it go to this day!

of note: avengers with first appearance of rogue, all mcfaralane spider mans, old xmen, all original xfactors#'s 1-65 :(

edit:PYZE man be careful out there...

bravo, TJ. what you have there is righteous indignation, not anger per se. totally justified.

I'm gonna call that one Chaotic Good - no alignment change.

Well played, sir.

Jeesh Pyze, glad you weren't given the smackdown.

Nice TJ, some people need the wakeup call. We're people on the road just as they are, afterall.

I went out to MEC/Best Buy downtown last night and got a wobbly on the lip between streetcar concrete and the curblane surface, down I went - all I could think was getting the flock out of the way for the streetcar coming up behind me :p All was good, probably some bruises I can't yet feel (I think I just slid out of any blunt impact). Almost went down from the lip/surface line again outside MEC, **** the door zone and **** the tracks.

Rode from the east side this morning (took Danforth/Bloor over to Spadina and south - was mostly full speed ahead), all was well though I woke with coldy/flu junk.. bleh. I can definitely see the need for discs in this crap though, assuming they work better than my roadie brakes.

Glad you are unharmed for the most part, ooooh I hate that area track crete to road surface, sketchy factor 10.

Thanks for the reminder I need new pads in the worst way.

Wes, check MEC out too - they have a few pieces of PI footwear type stuff there right now - I was in there looking at them yesterday.

so bad ...

Hey operator, is Bike Chain open this week? A neighbour gave me a Mixte that works and everything, I just figured you guys might be able to use it. If not, TBN will get it.

afaik, bikechain is closed until Jan 7.

K, thanks. TBN it is.

s/T/C/; I think :p TBN is the riding club. CBN are the folks on Queen W in the church-ish building.

PS, Craft Burger (King/Portland) is teh b0mb.

Ooopsie, yeah, that is who I meant, the guys down between Niagara and Tecumseth on Queen.

Has anyone done one of the 24 hour mountain bike races? I thought they had them up at Kelso and Hardwood, but neither are advertising 24 hour races. Any ideas?

Edit: Found Albion! I'm very disappointed they don't have a Crippled division. Maybe I'll make my own up...
