And now that we know there's a pink bike with an Irishman on it, we can yell "Guinness" at him if we see him.

Also there has been some talk of re-starting up the Fixed Unwin St. sprints this summer. We used to do a weekly thing down there with incremented 300m marks painted on the road. Usually a 2 up sprint, starting at 300m....first 100 are pace to get clipped/strapped in....after that anyone can sprint out whenever the mood strikes. We used to get about 12-15 regulars out with a couple of cold ones on the sideline thrown in for good measure. We had a pretty good flag and radio system for safety and it was always a good time. Anyone here like to participate?

Are those little chain hanger thingys on most track bikes? Does the rear spacing look a bit wide to anyone else?

Keith: I'd be down with a pair of the SPD pedals. Really I only need the left, but since I think I'm the only one-legged person in these forums, the chances of a person only needing a right is slim!
