nothing set in stone though.
Anyone of you riding around Roncesvalles/Marion or Lansdowne/Rideau (near the bridge) today around 6/6:30 on a white what looked like a Roubiax? Bright green on the goggles is all I remember, heh.

Are those shows on torrent at all? I don't get TV so I'm limited to the 'net.

The Steve Bauer fixed convert has been hobbled with the removal of the back wheel. I hope the owner came to get it.

Yeah, the wind is always specified in the direction it's blowing from
Also, after riding home I can verify that it's definitely blowing from the west!

I always get that mixed up ... I will remember from now on.
I do hope I wore enough for the ride home, it's short so hopefully I'd not freeze regardless.

ol' mercer didn't do half bad by the end! for all the "fixed gear" news stories we've seen in the last year - i'd say this one was probably the best. i may ride mine on the street 99.999% of the time but it's cool that they introduced the bike and it's various characteristics in context instead of the usual "oh my god! no brakes? one gear? no coasting?!?!?!" stuff we normally see.
