I don't know if "hot" is the word I would use, but it was cool enough to warrant something.

Start: Kipling Subway Station
(south of Dundas St W on Aukland Ave, one block west of Kipling Ave)
I've never been there so I have no idea what it looks like, the startpoint at Finch last week was very familiar to me.
Re: That chopper on campus, there's a UT Club for choppers and there's like one member - the club starter.

No worries.On another note, I had a private chuckle at the article in this months Bicycling on crank arm length. For a while now I've been trying to track down a 160mm crankset that wasn't a bmx type (hoping for a lower q-factor). It says this length is hard to come by (no ****). Bulletproof are cheap, but again bmx. Miche has a line of road cranks called Young for junior riders but are 155mm. Any thoughts on locating something under $200 that are road/track?

the ones on the very bottom. i'm thinking maybe streamers on the ends?
