We like it that way too. At least we don't have to put up with you when its cold out :p

Today I was harassed again on that same damn stretch of shaw street by a guy I had been keeping up with from Front + Spadina (at least a couple kilometers). I am ahead of him at the intersection and start to cross into the section of shaw with a median and he immediately starts honking, so I move more in to the middle of the lane. After that he keeps honking and tries passing me in every empty parking space. Then he rolls down his window and gives me the usual cager rant. I was about to start yelling at him, but I decided to just keep my mouth shut. I did go so far as to say that I am legally entitled to take the lane when it is unsafe to pass me due to a narrow road and parked cars. He didn't contradict me on this and he drove away after that. I think I did call him an a**hole, but the dude was. I tried to be more zen than usual and even threw in a 'Try to have a nice day!'

He was in a real crappy late model black corolla sedan that made funny noises. Jerks!

...With the trunk woofer that makes the license plate rattle. Classic

*bump-buzzzzzzzzzzzzz bu-bu-bump-buzzzzzzzzzz*

I got off my ass and commuted to work on my bike today. I knew I'd be kicking myself if I didn't and it was worth getting up early.

Lots of parts on my "must have" list now... I'm gonna have my fixed project ready soon hopefully! :D

Shiz you always say the sweetest things.

Hell yeas, hardly had to wear anything to go out, so warm!

*sigh* ... I'm totally going to be waiting outside the door at like 9:58, all big-eyed and giddy.

Curbside guys: good to have you by the shop today. I like to head around and visit places too. It's nice to see how other stores are doing things and toss ideas around.

Speaking of ideas, I was talking to Geoff of Bike Pirates today about displaying a ghost bike in our window with some information on what it means/what took place. It's going to be over at Eastern/Leslie in a few weeks where that cyclist was killed last year. If anyone's interested in raising some awareness, maybe a few shops around town could do this.

Ouch, bloodbath. Saw a video of people doing it on tall bikes. Competition of kings.

Sweet! Done and done!

i'll still joust anyway!

I'm totally taking that comfy chair idea back with me, that's nice. Something for the new showroom above curbside. Oops, did I say that out loud? Don't tell anyone! :eek:

But seriously, come check it out when it opens. It's going to be exciting!

Hehe i'm going to win!

Win what? Did I miss something?

Man that sounds like it would kill bike sales to new riders...

Wanted to make a joke but realized it would be in poor taste. Then why am I posting you may ask...

Yeah it is a Concorde geared bike with a sloping top tube. I've never talked to the guy but I see him on the road almost daily. He has it set up with a riser stem and standard road drops. It's kind of a white/grey/black pattered colour. It looks pretty cool. There is another guy Sean who rides a one of those KHS pursuit frames as his work bike. He also has a Gardin pursuit frame that he broke and was using as his work bike until the end of the summer. Joe at Urbane has one of the KHS's as well. Other than that there aren't too many around here that I've seen on the road.

I want to build my own funny bike. An uber long seatpost and HUGE riser bars for my old small mountain bike would probably do the trick. The finishing touches would be some handlebar streamers and a horn that plays La Cuckaracha. Oh and one of these: http://exophrenia.typepad.com/exophr...es/update1.jpg mounted to the handlebars.

Alright let's get this over with.
19999...

20000!

I'd just like to thank my mom, dad, and everyone who believed in my dream to be post #20000.

Now lets all get piss drunk and play ping-pong!

Dammit, for stealing 20,000 I'm going to get this guy to challenge you to a pillow fight.

****! I step away from the comptuer and somebody steals 20k WTF.

Rule is you're not allowed to double post yourself... ! Sirrobin = archenemy list

I'm willing to share. You can have 10000 of it.

Well, my quest of ruining 20000 is done. Off to bed!

Since it all started with post #1, maybe post #20001 should be the winner. I'll have the bottle of wine sent to your house Pyze-Guy

I don't drink. How about some Phils oil and grease instead?

In all seriousness, if it was just about making money I wouldn't be in the ****ing business - there are far easier ways to make more. You of all people can attest to how dangerous it can be just commuting on a bike in this city. If we have the platform to raise some awareness, why not do it?

he's alive; ran into him at i deal last week.
