i suppose it comes down to logistics - my driveway has a house on either side, no place to push the snow but out or up against the house. i just get irked when i see someone shoveling the sidewalk or something and throwing it all on the nicely cleared road for no good reason.

you know those thin sugoi touques that fit under a helmet that urbane sells? didn't one of you guys have a wool version of it (not nessesarily by sugoi)? who makes such a thing? i saw one from rivendell but local is better, yada yada...

I have one of those synthetic Sugoi toques and a (Cannondale branded) alpaca wool balaclava, but the latter wasn't bought locally. I tacked it onto an order from Nashbar when they had Pearl-Izumi knickers on sale for $60.

Cross lads: How much more/less crap/slush does the cross knobbie toss up compared to say a full MTB tires?

Man I got soaked out there, I decided at the last minute to take the fixed gear instead of MTB with fenders... bad call based on the amount of water dripping from my pants. Ah well. Good ride in, conditions were only wet for me - no other problems, lovely and warm other than my ankles/feet heh.

Shovelling into the street pisses me off too, it was one of those packed down sheets of driveway-flung snow I went down on before Xmas.

I hope my monster monitors can dry my clothes for 5!

Hooray for Burleys today. First time wearing 'em and I like. Dundas was fine most of the way in excepting Regent Park where the right lane was pretty much full o' snow. Residential shoveler's don't bug me too much, but the truck and blade boys who clean out parking lots or sidewalks do.

:lol: My carless driveway behind the house has never been shoveled.

See you there! nothing says love more than your sweetheart showing up after work with two $10 tickets. Can't wait! I will forever regret the day when in ThunderBay I chose to see Face to Face (+Moneen) one night and bowed out of WK (+Danko) the next, cause I had to go to school or something. Would have been epic... stupid stupid stupid!

on my route to work, there is a bike shop that does this, he has a large parking lot but throws it onto the cleared street. People in houses seem to know better, but not him.

From the Toronto municipal code:

"§ 719-5. Moving snow onto streets.
No property owner, occupant or other person shall move or permit to be moved snow or
ice from private property onto a highway, sidewalk or lane way."

Says nothing about the actual street, typical bylaw confusion
Maybe it's because I spread mine out as I put in on the street, I certainly don't create piles that compress to ice.

it would be nice if they enforced that, on my street at work they all clear their parking lots onto the sidewalks, when it snows it's impossible to walk down the street on the one sidewalk, you have to walk on the street most of the time

it's bad enough to ignore the 24 hour turnaround to shovel walks, but to put all your snow on them on purpose is rediculous

I think that "highway" refers to any street.. as in the highway traffic act.

I like knobbies at lower pressure in the snow, and it doesn't matter in the slush. I'm running 26x1.6 bontrager connections right now and they're OK. Still gets squirrelly in the snow/slush piles on the sidestreets today though.

Warriors...come out to pla-ay.

Exactly.

Yeah! a few months ago, after 10 years I just discovered that he was saying "...and a 64' Impala" at the end of the chorus. Classic.

I admit to putting my sidewalk snow on the road. That said, the road isn't blowed and I hate those damn cyclists! :)

ah ****, it looks like i broke the law a few times this week!

Is it me or is the searching of threads screwed now? I'm looking for the post that had the picture link from the Sprints the morning of the bull run. I put some salt down last night and shoveled at 6:45 this morning with my morning coffee. My neighbor across the street took a header off his top step taking his grey box out because of the ice on his stairs, he was ok. How much more snow are we expecting, I keep hearing all sorts of differing amounts here at work.

nothing says tough guy like purple muscle shirts and converse all-stars...

Don't know if these are the ones you're thinking of but here are all my Bull Run photos:

Part One - Sprints

Part Two - Bull Run

s'all about the canvas high tops, yeah!
Hahaha... ahh wow - I'd never seen the video for that song, unless we got a different one in Europe. Classics :D

Been some huge flakes coming down, wonder how the ride east will be - must admit, I MUCH favour riding fixed so far, the power/brake control is so convenient/useful - even though I STILL tried to coast a couple of times this morning (sloppy streetcar track crossing and some potholes on Queensway, oops) - at least it's just reminding me and making myself laugh vs. tossing me off the bike :p :)
