Forgotten drunken skid competition?

I think i could relate to that after several brown bottles of wobbly juice when it’s getting late ha not good for the back tire.
Cheers

well yeah, but wouldn't that result in 8 nasty patches distributed around my tire?

Hmm that chart shows i have 1 skid patch (48-16) but so far so good no patches yet just a matter of time i guess.

The tires you have on are new right? And that chart shows you should have 8 spots, but you got 1 big one.
Lesson we should stop buying the flashy tires & get some durable ones?
Who the hell knows?
Cheers

Ronin2046 = colour biter! :)

/me misses his Red Bianchi :| sniff

Somnambulant: Those michelins own your mom, put them on. And you're raking in teh monay buy me some Michelins!

I changed my mind.. crappy black cheapo tires for now. :) but y'alls get to see my silly new(ish) bar setup courtesy of cavernmech's basement.

sorry fellows, but i'm out for CM tomorrow but i hope to see some of you for riding, or perhaps just coffee on sunday.

Montrealer moving to Hogtown! Looking for a room!
 

Hey Toronto Fixers,

I'm leaving the land of steep hills and poutine for greener pastures, professionally. I'm moving to your city by Oct 1st, and therefore looking for a shared apartment. If you know anyone who's looking for a roomie I'd appreciate a bit of help. I'm looking for a *relatively* bike friendly space, as I'd like to bring my track bike inside.

To let you in (and now all of BFs) on my situation, I'll be moonlighting, working part-time as a sommelier and pursuing an internship at a social marketing agency that deals primarily with NGO's. I'm in my late twenties, socially concious, and non-veg, but eat healthy. I'm a neat and respectful roomie.

I'm looking for something within a close radius to U of T, Queen W, the Annex and Kensington Market (or so my friends have recommended). I'd like to live pretty central, as I'm new to the city. I don't plan on bringing a ton of stuff, as in extra wheels, bike parts, and tools. As for partying, I don't drink very much, and have outgrown the hard-partying messenger scene. I'm also allergic to dogs and cats, and am not too keen on living in a basement apt/room.

I've been surfing around on CL, but I just though I'd post here as it'd be nice to live with people who know what's up. I'm looking for some like minded individuals, male or female, down with bikes and enjoying life. If you know anyone out there looking for a roomie for Oct 1st, please tell them to drop me a line at *****dpendon*** awithacircle ****** gmail**** dotcom

Thanks a ton,
and see you all soon!

Dave

Done and done. Hey, are you still building frames?

I am, because my renter backed out :( What $ are we looking at about?

<- goes to UT so place close = perfect

When are you guys doing the Track 1 thing again?

Danger will robinson

Oh for ****s sake:

Does this mean that all our locks are now vunlerable again a la the kryptonite pen fiasco? Guess we have to buy $125 Abloy padlocks for our krypto chains now. Just great.

I wanna try doing that, just to see how long it takes for a noob.

yeah, that technique has been around for a long time. the scary thing is that it works on basically all locks.

btw. the forecast for today has improved slightly. only a 30% chance of / isolated showers for the evening now.

comment made to me by stupid punk at work "Hey dooooood thanx for saving my environment!"

comment made by me with middle finger in the air: 'eat a d!ck meat pylon'....I think I might be recommended for sensitivity training ;)

BWAAA HAA HAA HAA HAA!!!!!

"meat pylon".. gold.

edit: ps. I think this cheapo Serfas tire is about twice as grippy as my rubino pro. I tried to skip to slow down in front of my building and didn't break loose at all.. surprising. :P Of course, it's also brand new vs. the well (ab)used rubino.

I know I am opening up the " office Dave" comments...but...are you the ex-messenger Dave who threw the Iron Maiden Alleycat at the NACCC'S?

edit: great comment on digg: "Man, are all the Schumachers dicks??"

Poor George (I keep rooting for him, never seems to happen though).

wow check this out!!

"cmon kids pedal we gotta get groceries!!":eek:

Is that a rowing car?

nope...2 peeps pedal at the back... two in front steer...dont ask me how two peeps in front steer at the same time...

looks like the guy driving is about to pull a bada$$ handbrake turn.. ;)

It should have a person pedalling a fixed gear for each of the 4 wheels, then you could do reverse and turn on a dime. 4 wheel drive baby!

good luck getting everyone in sync enough to actually go in a straight line however. :)

reminds me of the fred flintstone car ;)

If you got in a disagreement the backseat drivers could decide to go the opposite direction, kind of like a vs. pedalling tractor pull

That's awesome man...

It looks like their bookin' and he's gotta let go of the wheel to apply braking. Spooky toy.
