I'm not so sure about cranial massage....

awesome: https://spacing.ca/wire/?p=1783

Too bad the Brazilian supreme court seems like it might strike it down. Boingboing has been all over this and the flickr picture are fantastic but I still think it will be struck down.

Wow I can't believe they managed to do that in sao paolo, if only for a short while. Advertising is considered a god-given right around here. Speaking of advertising, Hey Keith I sent one of my Tai Chi teachers your way for her 'spring tuneup'. I'd probably expect the worst!

I dont know about the "cranial therapy" but I do know that everyone who goes to her rave about the results. I can count 10 Elite Ontario road cyclists off the top of my head who use her services.

Lols.

Cheers for sending em my way. Also for the warning. I highly doubt it is worse than some of the rigs I have had in here so far this year. One example...stripped steerer/headset, destroyed B.B, broken rear hub axle, stuck seatpost, 10 broken spokes on the rear wheel, 2 rear sprockets missing 4 or more teeth and a chain rusted beyond belief. They actually rode this bike in to the shop. I couldnt believe it. Then the inevitable " Can I get this by the end of the day?" When I quoted the cost they changed their mind.

I thought you were describing 10 different customers!
I guess I can't complain about my temporarily stuck bb and 2.5mm wobble in my rear wheel

"But advertising and business groups regard the legislation as injurious to society and an affront to their professions. They say that free expression will be inhibited, jobs will be lost and consumers will have less information on which to base purchasing decisions. They also argue that streets will be less safe at night with the loss of lighting from outdoor advertising."

That's an affront to anyone's intelligence. The only information I want is how "Probe" relates to a mattress


And since when is advertising expression "free"? Decreased safety due to decrease light from billboards Oh, ha ha ha!

And Somna, massage therapists often do more than one kind of therapy. I kind of stare at the ceiling when people start talking about cranial therapy myself, but give her a shout and see if she does sports-injury massage or variants like Active Release Therapy.

I've been training on the hills in the beaches, and I'd venture to say that Scarborough road is not only the steepest hill in the area, but perhaps in the city? Google Earth elevation data doesn't seem to be accurate enough, as it shows the same thing for all of the parallel streets.

I personally got to know that hill the first time when I was moving into the area a while back.. Queen was closed for streetcar repairs, and Scarborough road was the only street open to cross through. So... I got to drive a fully loaded U-Haul down it - good times!

When the choice is outdoor advertising or higher taxes its an easy choice for a politician.

My fave downhill is Glen Manor from Kingston Road....its like a rollercoaster all the way from K.R. down to Queen.

Yeah Glen manor looks pretty cool. I think I might check that out tomorrow.

Dan man glad youre ok!

what are these "hills" you speak of? i rode up one today (bayview extension) for the first time in months and almost threw up. drinking beer is much easier.

yeah - what's with all the car to cyclist contact on this forum lately? Next time any of you guys ride take Shiz with you and if you get hit he can at least fight the driver...

sounds like everyone's alright; glad to hear it.

Thanks for the positive vibes guys. I think I'm going to make a chiropractic visit tomorrow. My neck is really friggen sore.

daytime or evening?

I like working with people on bike fit issues and it's something I will always want more experience with. If anyone wants to swing by and adjust some fitting weirdness, feel free. We can call it free of charge if you're patient and let me run around and deal with other people in the shop at times.

PS. Way to not die, everyone.
PPS. I need to start riding in the beaches, apparently. Those roads look interesting.

I'm down for that. You guys have a computrainer or something like that?

Not you. You have to get help from the guys at ProBikeKit.com.

More like a jailhouse tailer, alittle lift and shift to measure the inseam.

Shape: you'll be glad to know I made it home safe on the clipless that day. That night, I fell.

ow, burn. i wonder what a mail-order fitting is like. i can imagine it takes a while.

Good. I never liked the cut of your jib, anyway. This morning I got in a not-quite-an-argument w/ someone who had no idea that the big painted line at the intersection means "stop here." Another person came over to break things up and I ended up making a pirate noise ("Yaaar") at both of them and just riding off. This, and it's only April ...

PS. I love your jib. It's glorious.

oh, god bless you my friend and god bless pirates. god bless us everyone.

seriously, that's awsome.
