I have a seat post currently in bike that measures 25.5 mm diameter( with my plastic caliper - so it is probably a 26.8 or 26.6) The new post measures 26.0 mm (it is actually a 27.2 stamped). I shouldn't even try fitting it in... right?

Yes, I'm out trying to kill myself on my recumbent. I've discovered that the brakes need serious work.

so today at work (which i must get back too) someone brought in a IRO with a coaster brake... did some shopping, then left it by the doors to leave... so as to not get it stolen we moved the bike into the back...
anyway the gentleman who's bike it was flipped out thinking his bike had just been stolen...... i laughed at the irony... it was awesome
ps: sorry to the guy if he is on here. we meant no harm, we just wanted you to ride your bike home, and not take the transit.
ahhh good times

Toronto -> Hamilton -> Toronto
I plan on dropping off some movies at the Hamilton General Hospital to a buddy some time mid-week... Forget the GO bus.
Riding there from Toronto, anyone got any advice on good/bad roads? Suggestions? Comments? Stragglers who want to come along for the ride?

Sweet news, thanks!
First time riding with a music playing device today, glad I finally grabbed one - I'd often been wondering how it is to ride to some music.

Definitely fun, and I'm pretty sure it made me faster in places but not overall, heh. Much preferred having tunes to muffle the background noise of the roads though

Bikes: Menonite black urbanite, probably enough spare parts to make anther one.
i rode for years without one and at first i found riding with one fussy and disctracting but since i've been using a shuffle with the right music on it can be quite pleasant.

Hmmm, I don't think that I'm going to split up the main page buuuuut you could always visit individual pages starting here: https://makergo.com/shutup/?p=247 and then just changing the last digits when you're done browsing... 248, 249, 250, etc.
