Tonight I raced my friends from King and Dufferin to Pauper's at Bloor and Bathurst. I was on my bike and they were in my friend's car. When they arrived I was at the bar, drink in hand talking to the bartender. And they thought they would win. Poor fools. Darn Tootin'. Damn Skippy.

Heheheheh @ the first statement. And man, that bike is the OWNAGE. I really can't think of a better bike i'd like to ride around the city. Well besides the part where my pants got caught between the chain and chainring even though it had the metal chainring guard.

"thats all we used to ride back home" BLESS!!

For those people who need to dress up at work, how do you manage riding? I am getting the jonze to start riding as much as possible, save some TTC fair and get burn off my winter fat. But, I need to dress 'nicely' for work.
What do people do?

Depends on what you mean by "nicely" though as well. Like, I don't have to wear a shirt/tie or anything.
