hamilton is the devil's armpit.

And they took time to stop, steal his friend's backpack and continued driving with the guy underneath. I can't believe that.

Actually a guy who works with my friend was on the subway yesterday at Sheppard station. His train was evacuated because a guy got stuck between the platform and the train from the waste down. He said there was blood all over the platform. I don't know what happened. Might have been an attempted suicide since it never made the news. Disturbing/sickening nonetheless.

i heard a story from someone, they were on a train and a guy jumped, he also got stuck from the waist down. he was totally conscious and couldn't feel anything, but when the fire dept. inflated those balloons to force the train away from the platform to pull him out, he bled to death.

jumpers make me queasy.

Danhalen 07-25-08 11:06 AM

God that is horrific. Actually I was wondering what they would do to get someone out of there. Huge balloons huh?

You were there? Didn't see you in the mosh pit brah!:twitchy: That is great you got a tic. Went to both shows, similar set, but the crowd last night wasn't the same straight backed, chin stroking, typical Toronto crowd. Hip shaking extravaganza. Even got my hat and sweater stolen! now that was a good show.

I ended up ordering Kool stop replacement campy pads from ebay for anyone who cares. Urbane didn't have any of the victory vintage.

ADVICE REQUEST PLEASE!

Is there any bar/resto in the city for a non-cable-enabled person to watch the TDF (time trials are my favorite) - you know like they do when men kick that sphere around?

Thanks!

Jetfuel coffee shop on Parliament usually has the tour playing on a big tv.

I have officially ridden the twentys back tire to ****. Awesome.

Hows the Don, anyone check it today? Im thinking its still buttery, but I could be wrong.

maybe Scallywags , they specialize in International Sports Broadcasts http://www.scallywags.net/schedule.php

but they mostly show soccer only (and usually a zoo if a popular game is on plus the food is terrible), but they don't always list everything they can(could?) broadcast on their website. I watched the Pairs F1 Grand Prix in there at 4 in the morning once..

Yeah, if I were to guess it would be unpleasant in there... but I haven't been in there for weeks, so I have no idea how it's been holding up. Stupid rainiest Summer on record.

i watched the last stage at jet fuel last year. it was playing on a tiny imac wedged up by the ceiling. it hurt my neck, and the digital feed cut out a lot, including a portion of the final sprint. it sucked, but at least the coffee was good.

for some flukey reason i now get OLN in a slightly staticky state even though i only get channels 2-28, so i'll be watching at home this year. bless jah and coppi, they're looking out for me.

Hear hear. Rainblows, pots of holes, funderful. Yo im lazy, anyone know whos good to hit up for 20in. rims? Better yet, 20in. road rims? And tires?

I realised going slow pisses me the f-ck off, and the folder is way too easy to hide in the work van. Must build compromise.

Anyone on here go check out the Igor viewings today? There is a LOT of stuff in there... If anyone is missing any wheels / wheelsets as well, there were a few fixed wheels / wheelsets that may be worth checking out if you can prove they were yours... One Miche Rear, A couple of those Quando / Alex Urbane jobbies, etc...

It's at 35 Strachan. I was there today. There is also an "unknown pile" in case your bike was logo-less.

Saw a few happy people getting their rides back and some sad bikes who'll likely never see their owners again :(

kylehutton 07-25-08 05:43 PM

does anyone know if a shop downtown stocks pink brake cable housing?

thanks for the update, I was going to head to hanna again. It would be nice if after a while they would set all the unloved unclaimed bikes free, and let us knife-fight over the best frames and parts for project bikes.

chaotic, yes. effective? definitely. fun? inevitably.

2wheelsgood 07-25-08 06:36 PM

sooooooooooooo... i went. once again no bikes for me. i did see a few people reunited with there rides and it was nice. i saw a couple bikes still in boxes!!!! brand new. and in the wheel section i saw a pair of wheelchair wheels!! wtf?! who steals wheelchair wheels? i was chatting with one of the cops when a guy walked over to us and basically started ranting at the cop about how they should be ashamed for the amount of time it took to arrest igor and then the converatioin quickly digressed into a story about how his son was robbed by 5 "nig*ers". seriously. i can't believe people like that exist. before the jackass entered the conversation the cop told me that someone had gotten their bike back that was stolen in 1987!!!!! amazing.
