I was on the old raliegh in Kensington Market I stoped at the stop sign at Agusta because there was a umarked police car there first so I stoped and let the cop go first then I went and turned behind the cop car and I see this ******* on a bike blowing the the stop sign comming at me and turning to hit me so I turn my bike so the rear rack will be the first thing he hits and he leans right into it and smashes his brake lever off and some other crap on the rightside of his bar and bonces off his top tube, I said your fault for not stoping ass hole as I slow down at the top off Agusta for the light and here comes happy sack behind me again with the intent of ramming my bike I lean the bike to the left and his front wheel spokes catch my bungy cord metel hooks on the bottom of my rear rack which bends a bunch of his spokes. I tell him < you got a ******** prob , he replies I broke his bike so I give him a hard shove with a warning so he tries to follow me I spin around on collage and cut him off and ask him how about I break your ******** face , that's when I smelled the booze and I think he soiled himself cause he went whiteand a slight oder announced itself . but besides that it was a nice day

So who's coming out tonight? I'm optimistic for minimal rainage.

where are we going? do I have to leave my bike locked up? rainis better than snow

32flavours 06-27-06 05:11 PM

Well, my input is to go to the underground parking garage at Huron and College (just around the corner from where we're meeting). Why would you have to lock your bike up during a ride?

somnambulant 06-27-06 05:12 PM

I might be in.. I have some work to do, so I'll see how that's going later on. (plus the whole rain thing)

It isn't here, and I'm not that far from you. Weird.

was all this under the nose of the cops??! it's crazy that the guy kept coming after you.. i've heard about cars and road rage but sheesh.. i used to blow by the stop signs on the esplanade but way too many cops patrol that area between jarvis and parliament.. a patrol car stopped me once but i got off with a warning.

Cop had proceded through up the street and the guy was drunk and bike rage is common now from what I have seen but if he had ramed my leg or if I had been on the Pinarello I would have slaped him across the face .

Ahhh, betting, bragging rights and ribbing. The Tour is upon us.

I'm in. Valverde in Yellow for me. CSC for team, McEwen/Freire in green (undecided), Moreau in polkadot. The one I've gotta think about is the white jersey.

Does this thing have legs?

jeremywhitehorn 06-27-06 07:16 PM

all i have to say is basso en jaune.

somnambulant 06-27-06 07:35 PM

I just posted a bunch of new photos, including some of y'alls.

check it out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wes/. There's just over a page of new stuff.

ps. if anyone posts anything from a critical vacuum ride on flickr, be sure to tag it "criticalvacuum". We should start tagging our stuff "torontofixed" as well. ya dig?
pps. yes, I do have far too much fun taking rediculous pictures of myself.

I have to agree with Jeremy,

Basso FTW

STEEKER 06-27-06 10:18 PM

Nice to go out on a hot summer night and drive the bike around and I did'nt flat out yippy

eyefloater 06-27-06 10:42 PM

Anyone have an 80mm quill stem w/ a 26.0mm clamp? Something w/ about a -17 degree drop preferably. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but I need it quickly. Please send a PM before 10am tomorrow, otherwise call me at the shop (416.778.6473). The gf's bike is getting an upgrade - hopefully I can just pick this stem up locally instead of having to order it in (I need it in time for a Saturday morning ride).

- Mike

PS. cheap = good. I'm willing to pay with booze. ;)

how was CV last night?

cavernmech 06-28-06 07:01 AM

several question's
1. what's happening with the jerseys we were talking about ordering? Jeremy?
2. any thought's on heading to Forest City again in the near future?
3. who's interested in the TDF pool? Anyone who want's in, P.M. me yer pick's and the winning time margin. Keep it on the P.M. lest you give some ideas away to the competition. Is $10 too much or should we just make it a gentlemanly type bet....ie: no cash?
