I'm up for some mountain biking in the Don this week. I really wish mansfield was still open on non race days though!

jeremywhitehorn 04-29-07 05:04 PM

ps. you're on your own with the offroad fixie thing. Seems silly to me.

So i just got back from a quick ride out to The Beaches and back. On my way there I came up on a couple of bike cops who proceeded to break almost every rule of the road. Random side walk riding, rolling past open TTC streetcar doors, and cutting through a red light to make left turn in pretty heavy traffic - all with no sign of an official "police emergency." I'm no angel but watching these 2 police officers really got under my skin. Wouldn't you expect them to "set an example"? Thoughts?

Once when I was still living in Edmonton I watched a cop patrol car turn on its sirens and lights in order to run a red and pull into a Tim Horton's parking lot. No joke. I almost lost it.

At least these cops were on bikes. Or something.

Looks like fixed bikes are getting alot of press down in NYC lately... real mainstream media seems to have a new "extreme" lifestyle sport to pimp...

You may want to think about that one. You don't have a lot of options for setting up log jumps etc. and skidding the rear is pretty enviro-unfriendly, particularly on descents where erosion can be a problem. I'm in the (slow) process of building up a ss and I'm up for taking it out as soon as it's done.

we were about to tun into kensington off of dundas and the damn spindle just sheared at the bolt and I went down with half a pedal still clipped to my foot!

PS, FYI, I was on a ride with duppy yesterday and within about 10 minutes a guy in a car wanted to fight with me. He called me a champion!
