It's alright operator, I'm heading out for the breakfast now...

Shiznaz, maybe I'll see you in the crowd, I'll be wearing my trusty yellow windbreaker on the brodie romax cyclocross.

HAPPY BIKEWEEK! :D

What a kick in the nuts if you were planning on taking transit to work this morning. It was gridlock out there. I love my bike.

Ya i don’t think i got passed by one car the entire ride in FUN FUN
Cheers

sometimes people are so dumb it totally surprises me.

this guy comes in to install a keyboard tray on someone's desk. they start talking about the traffic this morning and he says "yeah, the traffic was brutal, I don't know why". Then there's an awkward pause.. and the woman goes "well.. the ttc is on strike..?" And he says "yeah, but I thought that would make the traffic better!"

wtf?!?!?!

he thinks the ttc makes traffic WORSE?!

Kaibot . that riding home Vid looked like Queen street east

I wonder how many of the cagers stuck in traffic today wish they drove a bike to work like us:D

Hey Shiznaz, did that blue IRO look anything like this:

It was good to meet you and your gf too. The blue Pinnarello she rides is really nice. You're right, the islands are nice and relaxing. On the ride back to the city, my wife said, "Watch, I bet this'll be in that forum you're always on."

yesterday i got a slow start so was back home at 3. i usually aim to be back by 2 or before if i leave around 9. figure about 5 hours for 100k or so with time for a coffee.

stupid cagers aside, i had to walk to work (left the bike at work on friday fer drinkin') and noticed that most of the bike racks in front of the big office towers were totally rammed. it almost reminded me of japan/europe.... probably a combination of it being bike week and the strike. it's too bad this is not a year-round occurance.

Well I'm off to ride my BIKE to school

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!!!!

n00bs and their cars


good eye STEEKER

I count at least 6 people from this thread in that shot.

I was so close to asking if you were on the forums. Nice to meet you too!

who knew the TTC would be on strike? my commute across bloor this morning was like riding in a parking at disneyland. it's funny how out of the loop i become when i don't rely on transit or autos to get around; i had to ask someone why there were so many people on the street this morning. of course they looked at me funny and told me what's going on.

anyone else get their first cyclist's tan on the season this weekend. i look in the mirror and it's like i'm wearing a white hairy shirt...

yum. thank the lordy for my hairless asian gene. well, semi-hairless.

Darn, not on it! Still, its pinned up in my cubicle anyways

Cool. That ain't too bad. And is this the fixed group? Or just The Jeremy Ride? :)

I got my first arm-tan 2 weeks ago on a FFL ride, but this weekend my knees got burned. I remembered to put sunscreen on my arms/nose/etc, but not my legs for some reason. My psoriasis meds make me more sensitive to UV light as well so I have this crazy bright pink burn in a circle around a spot on my calf. :P

For sure. My lockup area has just as many bikes as always. It doesn't seem like the strike affected us much at all. There's a bunch of people that just didn't come in today though, and I think quite a few people drive. I really can't comprehend how anyone can drive to work at UofT though... if for no other reason simply for the lack of parking here.

Bike? They probably wished they were in a car. Bike never crosses their mind. TTC strike? Hi-****ING-LARIOUS.

Please strike more. In fact please strike tomorrow so i don't have to class.

PS I'm getting this squeaking noise from my bike. Cranks tight, pedals swapped, happens sitting or standing, checked frame for cracks, nothing. BB? Anything I missed?

I made the mistake of wearing a tank top on the donut ride saturday morning. Lobster-fest! Have to take cool showers for a few days.

Anyone know of a sunscreen that doesn't run into your eyes and burn like mace when you excercise? Do the "sport" versions work any better, or are they all the same?

The phantom squeek. How about your chainring bolts-are they tight? Sometimes my BB cups squeek-pull apart, lube and reassembly shuts it up. Sometimes stem/bar joint too. Have fun finding it.

the last few times it been the jeremy ride, but from time to time i coax the fixed group to come out.

Hey uh. Who's doing the ride for heart this Sunday? I'm going to be riding as a TBN volunteer.

I know this is a long-shot, but how about the spokes? Or it could be the saddle rails...

My friend's bike made a weird knocking noise. Turns out it was his rear wheel spokes. Go figure :)

you know, this is usually a beginning of summer ritual for me but for some reason i forgot all about it this time around. seeing as i've done it just about every year since 1994, i think i'll probably give it a rest. maybe i'm just not in the mood to pay $30 to ride my bike on the highway...

Perfect opportunity to come volunteering with me :P Read edited post above.

i think i've already volunteered to help a friend move that day...
