I totally want to get pedals that match my Rabobank helmet!

suuuuuuweet!!!

I'll be up at the memorial ride at 7:30 tonight. Some more information on the man who was killed:

The cyclist who died on Bayview was apparently an avid cyclist, always wore a helmet, and a strong advocate for safe cycling He had planned a bike safety course for his colleagues at Sanofi for next week. His funeral was this morning, and the chief police commisioner attended along with many police officers, as his wife is a police officer. One of his 4 children wrote a song for her Dad and sang it at the funeral.

He was apparently run over by the wheels of the trailer of the dump truck, which was carrying on going directly southbound just after coming off the 401. The driver didn't know about it until another motorist somehow drew their attention and they then stopped once they'd seen what had happened in the mirror.

I think the ride starts at 6 actually. I believe the memorial is at 7:30. Maybe email martino or darren for better info?

from Martino's blog:

Memorial Ride for Cyclist killed on Bayview Avenue
Cyclist will depart for a memorial ride this Friday, June 15 at 6 pm. Sharp.
We'll meet at Bloor & Spadina. The ride will stop over at York Mills Subway Station at 7 pm before heading to Bayview Avenue for the memorial. Tentatively scheduled for 7:30. Please bring flowers.

RIP

If he is going to switch between road wheels and mtn wheels he will prolly have issues with the brakes.

I think they're both 26" wheels.. one with narrow tires and a road cassette, the other with fat tires and a mtn cassette. Would that still affect the brakes? I think there might have been a mention of running discs on both as well.

In an attempt to up the awesome, it is so. :D

As you were.

Yes, sorry, I meant I'll be at the memorial at 7:30... With experiences of the past, apart from the exceptionally large turnout for the ride for Ryan Charriere, it's typically a small group that just rides to the locale.

Anyone up for tacos?

Well at least he seems to be happy about it

Haha, nice photoshop?

No dude, it's the real deal.

They were doing these crazy Evil Knievel jumps and the dude (Kyle) tacoed his rim.

Deep V no less... :)

Anyone know of a nice downtown 2 bdrm place for about $1200 or less a month, preferably in this area?

1st floor of a house would be ideal.

next time any of you guys decide to put an order into misfit psycles for anything let me know and we can split shipping or what have you; i'm interested in a pair of their "fu2 bars". provided none of our friendly bike shop employee friends can order them in for me...

shouldn't be hard to find cheap rents in that neigbourhood. even cheaper if you go further west along bloor.

It totally depends upon the rims. If they are the same then it might not be a prob. If the wheels use different width/profile rims then the brakes will almost certainly need to be tweaked between switches.

I might know of a $1200, I don'tknow the price actually, just that peace & quiet are required, no loud music, that sort of thing, and I'm not sure of how many bedrooms, but it's the first floor and the basement, so probably it's 2 bedroom

re-reading that it seems I have no information on the place I'm thinking of, but there is a first floor 2-bedroom on Christie just across the street from Fiesta Farms, ph# on the sign, it's in your price range most likely and is a cycling house, mud porch parking. Directly across from fiesta farms is kind of nice too

mmm... lovely morning for a long ride out of the city. Just got back from this morning's bike rally training ride. I haven't logged too many km's on the road bike this year because of all the mountain biking, so I wasn't sure how 97km would feel. Verdict: like buttah. I think all the road riding last year helped the mountain biking, and all the mountain biking so far this year has really helped my road riding. Good times.

Now to go wash off 3.5hrs worth of grime. :P

noice...97kms...

I went and sprinted down on leslie street spit yesterday after a very safe safety meeting...did the same this morning...although my body was much less willing...

97 km, oh boy, must have been tough.

Why is it Tovi is the only one of you slackers with the balls to come out for the Donut or any local racing?

sprints are coming JIT...gotta fixed to ride? or are you all talk?

So we can find out who you are through Tovi? Awesome. Good to know. Expect to meet me.

I know I'm totally falling for troll bait, but seriously, what is your ****ing problem?

Gentlemen, please. The blocking function is useless if you keep quoting this chump. I'd rather read one of Merton's posts...

Merton, LAWL.
