I am off to NYC this weekend and crossing my fingers i can bring my bike. If anyone here has recomendations of bike related shops or advantures i should check out lemme know. i will be in jersey for a wedding on friday and then the rest of the weekend in brooklyn.

I also found a small pile of the stickers that are my avitar if anyone wants a few hit me up! i left a bunch at biseagal a while back and they went fast! i mailed out a few hundred to friends in NYC, Philli, Ohio and Texas to hand out randomly at CM rides to fixie riders. the reaction i heard in TX was pretty interesting when people not riding fixe got pissed they wherent getting stickers cause they had too many gears.

i really need to get a bunch over to cavern soon!

man it's hot out there.. (and in my apartment)

How was the don today wes? I didn't end up getting done work till ~8 so no way I could have made it!

Hope everyone is having a good week. This is a bit late, but good luck Mike! I'll be riding back from Montreal on Saturday so here's hoping I don't die of heatstroke. Sham on...

Good but very very dry. I ended up riding by myself. I can't decide whether I hate these tires or if I just havn't found a good pressure to run them at. All the off-camber stuff is brutal with them.

What kind of wrench is she holding here:

Sexy bike

I think that wrench is from the Craftsman "scantilly clad women to sell product " line.

Scantilly clad English track champions in Victoria Pendleton

*EDIT* Beef Patties coco bread... mmmmm I think I've decided on lunch.

whatever kind of wrench you want her to be holding. ;)

:lol:

Oh my.... operator's fantasy wrench .... a pipe wrench no doubt.
Patty King ...AWAY!!!!!!

Hey guys! I'm in Dublin now. I've been moving at a whirlwind pace and I'm tired and hung over. Things are as they should be. Although I should take it easy a bit so I can kick some ass on the weekend. Riding in and around London was amazing real hills, winding streets and the drivers were really considerate I found. I need to get a cable for my camera so I can post some pictures, especially those of the Manchester velodrome and this Argentinian guy in London, also named Daniel who has been riding his motorcycle accross the world. I've pimped out my bike a little too, it actually has carbon fibre on it now! I found a couple of awesome bike stores in London, one called Condor cycles who have an amazing selection of road and track bikes, including their in-house brand which are really nice, made in Italy from at the Dedacchi factory. I also found this place called Brick Lane cycles and they specialize in track bikes/old lugged road bikes. The mechanic took me into the basement where they had a holy grail of old lugged NOS Italian track frames that they had just picked up! It was amazing! Ok I'm running out of time on my pay interweb here. Rock and roll all y'all! I'll post more updates when I got 'em! Later!

Condor + Rapha = http://www.rapha.cc/index.php?page=175

I think the question is...How much luggage are you permitted to fly back with? 60cm for me please:D
P.S. I think we all owe Dan a debt of gratitude for offering to bring us all back cheap old lugged track frames. Thanks Dan...You are the TOPS!

anyone know a decent place in toronto to get a flipflop hub/wheel?

yes...Keith @ cavern cycles....AKA cavernmech!

Hahahaha.. "I think that's the tops!"

also: mtb ride time has been bumped up to 5:30, not that any of you wieners expressed any interest anyway. :)

lol@wiener as a dis...

havent heard that 1 for a while...its right up there with 'gaylord'

Shutup, dickweed.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahaha nice nice...

What, you're getting your hair cut again? It's so hot in my apartment as soon as I get home I collapse into a puddle, so I haven't finished my SS mtb - that's my excuse. I should really tune the fork anyway before I take this evil out on the trails.

hahah.. No, Dave has something goin' on at 7:30 so we're getting a ride in earlier. And yeah, the heat is gonna be disgusting, but I'd actually prefer to be out in it and moving around rather than sitting in my apartment and stewing in my own juices. Can't get a good breeze going through there at all. Thankfully we have an AC unit in the bedroom at least.

Yo Wes & Andre (and maybe more?)
The new Chuck Ragan record is online on his myspace and it sounds amazing! They put the slide (and more) back in "The Boat" which is incredible...

so i've been trying to work on keeping my temper in traffic lately, and today i actually managed at one point to think clearly enough to reply coherantly AND quote the relevant HTA section! it seemed like there were a bunch of peds with cameras eagerly trying to capture another possible brew-ha-ha, so i wonder if it'll show up on youtube?

oh and speaking of which (c/o bike lane diary), go bRAD go:

What does Wes do on a Heat/Smog advisory day? He goes for a hard ride in the Don, of course!

Way to tell us about it after the fact.. jeez! :)

meow! hehehe.. where was that climb?

Also: speaking of tempers, I screamed into some guy's window who pulled into the bikelane immediately in front of me on my way home from the Don. I preach the zen mindset, but sometimes you just gotta go nutzoid. :P Things tend to build up in a "serenity now, insanity later" kind of way.
