So if I hear "I want to root your grump" I should make a run for it?

Mmm mm yea. Off to get my new frame and wheels tomorrow. Ebay crank arrives soon, and all I need now is a sus corrected fork and everything will once again be okay in the universe. Will put me at 4+1 bikes, +1 being the mtb in the process of being built.

"Guys can't cook? Guys can't cook? I'LL SHOW YOU "GUYS CANT COOK"KKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"
PS: I plan on going north for a couple days for a "see old friends/ride my bike on some hiking trails" kinda trip, and the train company says "no bikes" due to their "no checked luggage" rules. looks like the rules are there to stop bikes from getting damaged. so does anyone know how much abuse a bike box can take? I really want to ride my bike on some of the ATV trails that are up there, but also want my bike to survive the trip.
anyone wanna lend me a bike box *evil laugh* (no im joking 2 i got at work i can steal)

Our CM last Friday saw the police presence at a surprising 0, compared with the 50+ that were there last month. I was expecting at least a lasting and diminishing presence rather than there/not there.

I smell a new Meter Maid! You gotta wonder how many cops are:
1. Actually bullies in their personal lives
2. Turn into bullies because of the role
rob: cranks had bolts in the box. bike still sounds like a machine gun - but now with more bling! In other news: Miche track chains are loud as can be.

I didn't hear about a deadline but yeah, I guess that will be changed. Have the cops said anything about what will be done with the bikes? I am assuming it will be an auction but maybe some of the kids' bikes (of which I saw a lot) could be donated to youth centres, etc.

One of the newspaper articles a few days ago (sorry, I read it in print at work and can't remember which paper) indicated that they will all be sold at police auction, which is interesting, as it presumes they are ALL stolen, without proof that they are. I'm not defending Igor here, but it would seem that due process has not been followed. The article also mentioned that the police keep the proceeds from any auctions. They don't hand the money to the city.
