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

I'm out for a ride last night and someone either left a Europe Bound 'camelback' for anyone to take, which I did, or forgot it on their front lawn by the curb.
Thats the whole story pretty much. I'm tired. Time for some coffee from Ideal.

So apparently when it rains it pours. I got clipped by a cab today. I'm ok too just a nasty gash on my knee. My front wheels is bonkered though so I'm off the road for atleast tomorrow.
For all who want details I was going north on yonge just south of charles and was passing a parked purolator truck. The cabbie switched lanes without a signal or looking and hit me. I got thrown but the bike definitely took the worst of it.
Anyways I'm all good and stay safe everyone.

That sucks Off, I'm glad you're ok though!
Does anyone know the messenger with the pink singlespeed with a sticker that says "your girlfriend sucks" and a Pimp On Board thing on his seat? I saw that bike today and it was pretty snazzy.

Call me The Breeze
Anyone want to go for a ride with me in the next little bit? Road, mountain, fixed... whatever
I was thinking of taking the road bike out to the hills in the beaches but I could be convinced otherwise

Glad you're okay, Off. Today seemed to be "let's park in the bike lane" day. If the city ticketed 1/3 of the cars/delivery vehicles in the bike lanes, they could pay for the city bike plan in three months. It's tempting to get an old beater with a kick stand and just park it in the street.
I left the ring at Cavern - I was by a little later than I'd intended.

Aw geez, glad you're ok, Stephen.
I just got off the phone with the insurance company. Mr. Vandriver is in protect-his-ass mode. I really hope I don't screwed over.

Yeah I just woke up from a nap some stiffness around where my knee gash is but thats to be expected. Gonna take it easy tomorrow and hopefully all will be well. Yeah 32flavours if he starts getting ridiculous we should hold a meeting of minds and talents to make sure you get what you deserve. I'm just hoping I can get on the road again this week. To that effect if anyone has a loaner front 700c wheel I could use until my hub can get relaced to a new rim I would be forever in your debt.
