hey... he's great at parties. Especially Halloween.

glorified garage sale from what I gathered from the desk-person last night.

First commute in just shorts + t-shirt today, no base layer no arm warmers nothing. First 10 minutes were a bit chilly, once I'd gone up the hill to Lansdowne/Dundas and on toward Bloor, I was warm. Yay spring!

I'm craving a beer on a patio... maybe time to start safety meetings in parks with a view to beerage?

Hooray for beers on patios and barbeques.

Wow... that just might be the best thing I've seen barring actual edible material on a 'Q - amazing

brilliance, thy name is parktool

Just went for a cruise/boot down to here

It might be that 13 years of my life were spent on it, but I've a fascination with water on warm days especially - I love riding by the lake, down on the spit, etc - it's gorgeous today, and even Whitby it seems has a few pieces of ... attractive scenery shall we say I made sure to put my mark on the end of the pier and do an obligatory trackstand to pose in front of the pedestrians

yo has anyone else seen the GMC trucks ad in the ss/fg forum?

kinna ironic...

I see no ads on account of the red StaR TM.

Yes, it's definitely spring and time for bbqs. The Pinarello's are back from their winter migration.

that bike is pure hotness...

anyone cruisin after work? any safety issues to discuss?

Funnily enough, I'm off to a BBQ. It looks like a great riding weekend though, so I'll be up for some riding. I'll probably be heading out to the spit at some point and may make the FFL ride shapelike posted. I need to do some dialing in after a lackadasial winter of commuting

ill be hacking my way to the patio at house on parliament. feel like some beer.

+1 that's one sexy Pini there, Cam.

I'll be going to a Marlies game tonight, I'll be in and around town tomorrow to grab brake+lever and get my steerer dealt with... then I'm off to imbibe beer at an alarming rate while sitting *very* still in a backyard.

Sunday, will be riding + GG + Afterkat - holler if you want to meet Sunday - I'll be cruising though, not wanting any heavy stuff.

Sorry Duppy, heading home and then off to Indian Buffet...mmm yummm, just came back from a lunch hour ride... nice outside dang!

However, as the weather is looking sociable, perhaps we should do a long range planning for a safety meeting / BBQ or some such relatively social endeavour.

This. I never call out when passing, nor do I use a bell, because that scenario has happened to me far too many times in the past. In fact, I make a point of going by as quickly and as quietly as I can. Too many less-experienced cyclists freak out if they perceive people to be in "their" space, so I don't give them the chance to lose it.

yeaaaaaaaaaa man its that time...safety meetings in full effect...Keith an I were talkin bout fillin up my bbq tank and maybe havin a few safetys in my backyard...and we definitely have to visit our old safety haunt at the dock aka pigeon ***** pier

edit: cool TJ...im gonna just go for a ride somewhere and head back to tha hood...

Scene: Trackstanding at a light after after passing 2 bike cops and a cyclist
Cop 1: You know you can charge that guy for not having a rear brake eh
Cop 2: Yeah
Me: I have a brake!
Cops: /laughter
