who else is coming out for CV besides Operator?
I might be able to make it but I'm not sure |
I might go but I am tired from riding downtown what time is it and this is a wicked bike http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2006...thanSidoli.htm

I can't come, I already biked back home (left at 4 something, got back 7 something; I was posting from my friend's apt earlier today on Elm) to beat the rushhour traffic. Man, you guys are right (suburban drivers are the worst): an suv full of teens driven by a teenage girl could not decide whether to tailgate or pass me on 16th Ave just west of Warden Ave in Markham (if you don't feel safe passing me in the same lane why don't you use the adjacent lane? and if you don't know the limitations of your vehicle you shouldn't be driving); and then a someone yelled out a minivan on Warden Ave just south of Stoufville Rd(wtf?). Oh, I saw an Asian guy (who at first I thought was operator, but then I realized I think I saw him on the FFL ride), biking southbound on Yonge near St Clair.

It's too late to respond to those posts that sparked a thought, so I'm just posting for no reason at all. That is all.

can you repaint a bike helmet without effecting the safety properties?

Did anyone go meet up to ride? I had another kitten false alarm. DAMMIT! They'll probably all become strays and I will be forever alone.

can't bedtime, you catching stray kittens? That's awesome |
speaking of helmets.. Every now and then I see someone (or perhaps more than one person) riding in one of those Specialized helmets that didn't have the hard shell. What were they called? The sub-six or something? I remember seeing ads for those things like 12-13 years ago. Have they made them recently? Or is this guy wearing something that probably has all the cushioning of a bag of eggshells? (helmets DO have a life span, crash or no crash)

Yeah, me and my neighbour feed the neighbourhood strays, and our favourite one had kittens about 2.5 months ago. Since they've been weaned we've been trying to catch them... we finally found their hiding place but they freaked out today when we tried to grab them. Will attempt again. So cute, but skittish.
Re: painting the helmet, I don't think you can remove the hardshell on most modern helmets, since the foam is moulded right into the shell to better prevent the shell coming off in a crash and letting the foam catch on stuff. |
i've always wanted a pet, but my parents never let me. :(
I don't know about painting helmets. but I would stay away from spraypaints cause they eat away at plastic. |

minor update: i wonder how the cyclist being a cop will affect the investigation? as the cyclist was also an 18-year vet (and `one of their own`), i cannot imagine they could easily argue, e.g., not knowing road rules, etc.
Cyclist killed by truck was OPP officer Jun. 7, 2006. 05:13 PM BOB MITCHELL STAFF REPORTER An OPP officer has died after a cycling accident on Tremaine Rd. near Derry Rd. in Milton. Sgt Gregory Stobbart, 45, an 18-year veteran of the force, was critcally injured yesterday in collision with a dump trunk. He and his family had just recently moved to Burlington after being transferred to the Caledon detachment from Killaloe Detachment on May 23. The fatality continues to be probed by Halton's traffic bureau and anybody with information is asked to contact them at 905-825-4777 or 905-634-1831 ext 5123 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Tremain Rd. had been closed to traffic for most yesterday but re-opened around 5p.m. Halton Police said Stobbart succumbed to his injuries at about 9:30 p.m at Hamilton General Hospital. Police said the collision occurred when Stobbart was cycling and the dump trunk was travelling north on Tremaine Rd. at about 12:30 p.m. Initial investigation revealed the right side mirror of the five-ton truck struck the officer as the vehicle was overtaking him. The truck driver from Grimsby wasn't injured. |

Me, operator, lymbzero, and some other new guys were waiting for you at 8pm to 9pm behind Honest Ed's. There was no sight of you or any others. So we basically rode around chinatown, bumped into Ill Mitch and rode through Kensington, and then to Dundas Square for some trackstand chillin'... I don't have anyone's cell number... ;) |
Fools! I said to PM me YOUR number. Ah well, next time.
|
I move for the immediate dismissal of 32flavours as ride organizer
Vote operator ftw!! |
Wtf isn't this sr20's bike? http://toronto.craigslist.org/bik/169197897.html
|
yep, t'is. I guess he got tired of trying to trade it.
That sucks about the cyclist and the dump truck. Cop or not, he was a brother. The driver will likely get charged under the highway traffic act and get off with a fine. I'm getting really ill about all the fatalities this year. Is it me or has there been a hell of a lot more this year than years previous? |
The truck driver from Grimsby wasn't injured. |
