Urbane had a built up KHS right in the front door area on a stand, but that was last Friday. I didn't look around the bikes to see if they had anymore.

Even after my recent breakage with my eggbeater, I'm still OK with them - I've not yet serviced any of my CB pedals either yet.

Took the past couple of days off as I had a bit of a twinge in my right knee and it being holy-damn-jesus-that's-cold degrees outside AND being on early starts (5:45) was enough to convince me to take the bus up to Keele/Steeles (and allowed me a bit more sleep ). Todays ride felt both fresh and a bit stiff, if that makes any sense.

did we reach the page max? every time i hit 1837, it defaults me to 1836...

is glitch. there's not really an 1837 yet.

cool. i guess....

well, got back from biseagal. love the place! its the shop where pretty much anything with metal is possible!
My fork idea got shunned by pretty much anywhere, and my other idea of extending a threaded fork was like speaking of war at an obama campaign.

both of which are VERY easily possible by the guys at biseagal. have an old road frame with aggressive geo that you would want to put track ends on? or respace the rear triangle to match? re-rake a fork?

I suppose most of the guys that frequent this thread know of the top notch work, but for the trollers, im decent at building stuff together, but in the event that its something beyond me, i'd certainly return to them for any ideas, or heavy duty repairs - without hesitation or the very common "we don't do that, your bike will explode, you will die and we do not want any liability"

fork is reamed and hopefully there will be some riding happening with all the warmish weather coming the next few days...

It is gorgeous out there. It felt so nice to ride without gloves, I feel like my handlebars are so thin!

Had an awesome ride too. Been awhile since it felt that good to be on a bike

Yeah it was beautiful, and still is - After coming back down from North York, I stopped in at home for a safety meeting and then spent the next 5 hours riding around downtown, couldn't resist the milder weather. Can't wait for more (tomorrow?!)

arghhh go figure....warm weather and i has tha coldz...

:S

Fun ride today. It's great to finally be out on the bike for awhile again and not have to worry about body parts freezing solid and dropping off.

Part 2 should be tomorrow morning if anyone's interested.

That's the '09 demo model. They told me they won't have them in stock until late March.

Dang, I took some cold medicine last night and just woke up an hour ago...that stuff kicked my ass.

Same time and place tomorrow.

would that be 8:30 or 9?

Also had a fun ride today.

Was a fun ride. Are we changing the route tomorrow? Maybe a road ride, or change directions?

...

Darkhorse location (Queen & Broadview):

You westenders want to ride there together? Let me know, I'll tag along.

Would anyone be interested in extending to Port Credit or something?

8:30/8:45 meet at the Darkhorse, 9:00 ride. Since I just got home from catering, I doubt Port Credit is inn the cards for me.

I think I will sleep instead. Have fun you guys!

I met a guy the other day that had a solution that worked for him, but this is presuming that the mobility isn't returning? A 20 pound weight for a pedal combined with a peg, though this fellow had no leg on that side and no prostetic so he didn't need a peg. It'd work pretty easily on a recumbent too.

This guy he told me it worked really well and I believed him, especially when the next thing he asked was where to complain about TTC buses refusing him rides home when he goes on long rides out of the core. Said he'd find himself way north and west sometimes, and when he'd try to ttc home instead of riding they would turn him down?! He'd have to wait sometimes 3-4 buses for a driver with common sense to come along, they'd tell him "no bikes" or "no bikes at this time" (rush hour? I didn't ask, didn't matter). He'd tell them that this ain't no bike it's my gettin around, like a wheel chair, and show them that he had one leg and they'd tell him didn't matter, no bikes, and leave. Wow. The drivers with sense let him on without question.

Anyway, good to see the bffsggfsfg forum is still going strong, cya around, but only if you notice peds at all. I'm only riding my ute a little these days, but I'm getting a cheap bike for getting around, one of those SE things, the people that make the pkripper? With some risers and new parts it'll be a fine getting around bike.

Sorry I had to bail today, but last night I ate some AMC popcorn that gave me a raging headache, which resulted in very little sleep. Next weekend, I guess.

AMC popcorn. Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Fixed.

Haha...

Good ride, though the foot bath wasn't so good Good to see duppy out and about, too.

I ended up going to Port Credit after a pit stop at home - Memorial Park is lovely. I'd also never seen the wrecked ship blocking the harbour entrance before - I assume it's a winter/weather thing, unless I just never noticed it when I was there in summer. Ride there was a bit blowy at times, but was surprisingly decent going - the ride home was really quite beautiful, and fast (at least it felt that way )

the ship at port credit has been there for years and years.

I was gonna come out... but the tires I wanted to use were at the shop and I didn't feel like going there last night and then coming home and changing them. Next weekend indeed! I want to do a shakedown ride on my ice racer.
