I need to confirm whether I want a taxi ride before the end of the day.

"I was thinking of it, but I have no idea how long it would take to ride out there and the thought of riding on those inner suburban multi lane arterial roads puts a chill down my spine. That and I don't have my wardrobe at sylvania (like I do here at work), so I would be very sweaty and looking like a bike courier for the meeting. In an ideal world I totally would though."

I went and saw the 'scorchers to alleycats' exhibit at the st. lawrence market today. It was a good little show; I didn't realize how much of a history of cycling Toronto has... Some absolutely pristine and beatiful century plus old bikes there too. I used to think that people who buy colnagos, De Rosas, Cinellis etc. to mothball in the closet were evil... but I never would have seen these bikes today had someone not done that exact thing. In 100 years we will be glad nobody rode them into the ground.

if you have space on the hub threads, a spacer on the inside of the cog may do the trick too. there's always changing out the BB...

if your getting a laptop that a company is not paying for then the mac is totally the right place to go. Especially if you have any sort of student card, that knocks 10-15% off the price at any of the corporate stores.
