i'm going out for glasses shopping tomorrow.
and they are going to be thicker than somna's and operatorz's COMBINED!
it'd be awesome and i'd have 2 permanant red marks on my nose, cause my glasses will be too heavy.

**** that **** man sr20det. Low index lenses FTW or maybe contacts. You'll need both. Contacts for riding and glasses for ... everywhere else.
-/+ 4 is usually where they draw the line for regular vs super light lenses. This is one place, where i'd like some carbon fibre. My TI frame sux0rs.

On my way downtown earlier today, just north of the 401 on Yonge a driver clipped me and dragged me a few metres until I got free and when I knocked on her window at the light, she was oblivious to what she did. I bonked out going back home on Warden after 16th Ave.; serves me right for just taking a few bananas for fuel.
Oh, I might be in the city tomorrow, but will definitely show up for CM on Friday (it'll be my first).

Main and Kingston Road!
Don't actually come to my work we will be closed!
The Donut shop across the street is the designated meeting spot! The Dip and Sip! The coffee is terrible! "Looks sort of like a rib cage from the outside but that is where the charm ends"-the toronto star
That is all for now

I'll try to make it out tonight too. Ditto for critical mass.
eyefloater: 12 degrees on Friday? are you on crack? The weather network says 24 and enviro canada says 20.
Both say showers or thunderstorms though. Might be fun. 
Also, this Sunday is the first Pedestrian Sunday of the year in Kensington. Anyone want to head down there? Stupid eyefloater lives in kensington but works on Sunday. d'oh!

How nasty do you think converting my MTB to a 26" road/cross type setup would be? Ideas?

Alright. June 10th is confirmed for the people in the list quoted below. If I missed anyone, let me know. Cost is $30 including bike rental. Looks like with this number Cavernmech and I will both be driving. Perhaps we can meet up at the shop in the morning and caravan from there?

Do you want to run road type bars or stick with flat style? It shouldn't be difficult to do either way.

I like how that topic turned into a pro/anti gun debate immediately. However, it seems that at the most basic level, the more guns you have, and the more guns you leave around the house loaded, the more likely you are to shoot your neighbour in the face through several walls by mistake. Lets blame the guy who accidentally shot through the wall, not the guns. But then lets not blame ourselves for letting that guy have more guns than Jesus, becuase he probably would have still accidentally shot through his bathroom mirror with his toothbrush anyways.
I just got an idea to weld together a bike (art) out of old assault rifles... that would be pretty sweet.

Engineering kids need to learn that drinking in excess does not make you cool. The sheer amount of destruction caused by the engineers during frosh week is monumental... take 500 nerdy (male) kids who have mostly never drank before, pickle them with kegged beer and bourbon and then dye them purple, put them in a jumpsuit with a hard hat and set them loose. That way you can either be completely drowning in work, or in booze. What a life!
I did enough drinking in my first year of university, and I wasn't even an engineer.
