No, I meant 10 jackasses standing there with their 8,000 dollar bikes talking sh*t all the time. Politics isn't part of it.


edit: I guess you're right after all.

I love free rides.

Today, a guy in a pinto skitched my bike on my commute to work... :p

tangent: i'm trying to set up an aeolian ride in may as part of bike week 2007. anybody interested? stupid idea? brilliant? trying to gauge a response for this thing to figure out funding and organization.

I don't feel guilty. The $20+ subscription/donation price is dick compared to what municipal funding would be available to such a program and the civic benefits it would have. And I'd be up for an Aeolian ride if I'm available.

Do me a favour guys, check my thread in the main fixed forum (if you remember where it is) and give a reply.

These both seem like really good deals for tall people like me:

PS. sizing for these crazy carbon bikes is dumb.

The Giant listing was tagged and flagged. I figured it was a scam, it was too good of a deal. The Trek does look amazing and the price isn't bad either.

cavit8 12-20-06 07:27 PM

aaaaand my La Pavoni just arrived. A nice juggling act balancing it on my bars back from Purolater (why don't those guys ever buzz up to the apartments?). A little bit of servicing and it will be ready to go. I'm off to the flatlands for a week so won't be checking in, so everyone have a happy holiday of whatever flavour suits you best. Eat drink and be merry and I'll be back in time for the Scotch 'n ride.

I'm going to swing by MEC around 4:30 to 5ish before heading to Ideal for 5:30. Need to buy some coffee for staff gifts. Let me know if there is any change. No more passing ships.

operator 12-21-06 02:51 AM

Ok where is this place we're meeting again?

Oh and these guys are geniuses:

If JW attempts to hold court without a wig, gavel and robe refuse to bow to the bench or say your lordship when addressing him
