Is that to beautify the bike rings or to minimize the number of places a thief can lock a stolen ride up?
Real nice that they asked Keith..... tools. Send them the invoice for the new ones.

Anyone know if you can put panniers on a Specialized Allez Sport? A friend might buy a used one, and wants to be able to do some basic touring if he wants in a few years. That won't be the focus, but it would be nice if he could do it if he wants too.

I don't think they have rack mounts and there will be heel clearance issues, but it could be worked around. A carradice bag under the saddle with some small front panniers and a handlebar bag would probably be the best option come to think of it.

How the hell can I work when the skies are so blue?
chorus: Hallelujah! I'm a bum, Hallelujah bum again,
Hallelujah! give us a handout and revive us again.
Oh, I love my boss and my boss loves me,
And that is the reason I'm so hungry.
Well, springtime has come and I'm just out of jail,
Without any money, without any bail
Oh why don't you save all the money you earn?
Well if I didn't eat, I'd have money to burn.
Oh, I like my boss, he's a good friend of mine,
And that's why I'm standing out in the breadline.
I can't buy a job 'cause I ain't got the dough
So I ride in a boxcar 'cause I'm a hobo.
I went to a house and I knocked on the door,
The lady said, "Scram, bum, you've been here before!"
I went to a bar and I asked for a drink,
They gave me a glass and they showed me the sink.
Oh why don't you work like other folks do?
How can I get a job when you're holding down two?
Whenever I get all the money I earn,
The boss will be broke and to work he must turn.
I went to a house and I knocked on the door;
A lady came out, says, "You been here before."
I went to a house, and I asked for some bread;
A lady came out, says, "The baker is dead."
When springtime does come, oh won't we have fun,
We'll throw up our jobs and we'll go on the bum.

Hrm, that is interesting, that they are cutting old locks off and the detritus left over from the winter ie: abandoned bikes rusting away. I think the City of Toronto Auction is next month down at the Ex, all of those bike end up there.

It's totally shut off your brain and floor it day on College today. I think I used up my whole air horn reservoir just going to kensington and back.

yeah, you'd think some notes would at least be left first like they usually do for abandoned bikes. Unless it's illegal to leave your lock on there without a bike..
