I think there is a citizen class, but I'm not sure. Maybe phone/email/snoop around the OCA website?
Also, random question: will the retailers at the bike show take a debit, or do I need to bring cash around? I'm thinking of getting some new tubulars.

Congrats Wes! Wish I could have come with y'all...
What's the deal with the Speedvagen track bike? I thought that Speedvagen was Vanilla's 'Cross specific line... Either way, it looks incredible. The carbon inlay in the headtube is a nice touch...
Edit: Nevermind - I just read what the difference between Speedvagen & Vanilla actually is...

Many of them take debit. You'll get through the lines faster (or skip them all together) if you have cash.

I've got a set of Mavic Aksiums that are always going out of true...
anyone know a good shop to get them retensioned/ rebuilt? (whichever keeps them true...)

So I might need to stop taking Christie down to Harbord every morning, because drivers are just getting worse and worse. This morning I'm heading south in the bike lane with a green at Davenport, when the nice fellow driving to my left makes an un-signaled right hand turn onto Davenport, right into my path. I brake hard, but its not enough, so I turn hard right onto Davenport and rub up against his car. This was a ridiculously close call, and I'm getting sick and ****ing tired of fools paying no attention to what's around them.
Also on Christie, south of Bloor and before Harbord, people can't keep their ****ing lane. Cars constantly straddle over the solid white into the bike lane. Some times its so bad, half of their car is in the bike lane. WTF.
/rant
Mike the RR looks delicious, and those Aksiums will never die!
