i can't believe they want $50 to ride in that thing. the first few times i did it it was $15 i think which is still accesable.

on another note i found a bike by the curb on the way to work today. it was at the curb in front of my neighbour's house missing a front wheel, badly tacoed rear, flat tire, rusty chain etc. so i took it. i'm assuming it was destined for the trash. anyway, the decal says it's a "KHS alite 3000" (MTB). looks like it has xt rear mech and deore shifters. i think i'm going to fix it up, maybe make it into a single speed. it's a 19" frame which may be a tad small on me but anyway. i'll be bugging y'all for parts to trade real soon. anyone here ride a KHS mountain bike?

I have Wednesday/Thursday off this week. All I've got for wheels right now is the cx bike, but I'm more than willing to get myself into some trouble on that if anyone wants to do an (off)road ride. Shout me a holla, as it were.

Fitting people, I've been sorting out a schedule that will include you along with participants of a charity ride I'm volunteering some time for (doing fitting sessions). I'll get back to you this week, but the days will likely be a Monday or Tuesday between 1pm and 3pm.

damn! fedex is threatening to send a collection agency after me! looks like I'll have to pay these crooked charges after all. I still don't understand why they didn't do COD...

Good morning. Just cleaned the neighborhood stray off of ossington. Sad day.

I am all for charity etc. But I hate the fact that the proliferation of all these rides/walks/bobbing for apples, is all being done while the public health stm is being quietly dismantled under everyones (sweaty) noses. All these charities are pitted against each other in competition and there are going to be winners and losers. Sick Kids gets millions, while local hospitals in the burbs or rural areas for that matter are seen as underperforming and substandard... (sorry i'm sad)

Onto other challenges, where can I get XL chrome toe clips in this town. Urbane, nope, and it seems that the lady on the phone is going to go postal if another person asks her for them.

Thanks,

do you need just the clips? I am looking to sell my MKS Sylvans/Soma Double gate toe clips/ale yellow laminated straps. I suppose I could remove the clips, but the strap is in there pretty tight right now. I don't know where to find XL toe clips in a store though...

Anyone need 50 bikes?

I don't think anyone NEEDS 50 bikes, but I'd love to see what he's got.

I was thinking the same thing... although it seems like he wants to get someone to take them all. Might be interesting to see if we might be able to get a handful of people together for a "go see" and maybe take a decent number off him if they are even good...

On the other hand I really don't NEED more bikes in the house... they already have their own bedroom :)

Its worth a look if there could be some nice old road bikes. Bike pirates would certainly be interested in the rest

I'm liking going into the Don tomorrow after work.. </open invite>

edit: I need coffee.. I *think* "liking" was supposed to be "likely"

hmmm, I don't need 50 bikes either but depending on what he's got I'd be down with a group visit, sounds fun. Maybe we can call and ask how tall the departed was. If it was an elderly person who managed to stow 50 bikes from throughout their time it might be really interesting, if they're junk bikes it would be nice to give them to bike pirates if some picking through reveals some we'd be interested in for ourselves.

Sounds fun...like a giant "dibs!!!" smackdown just waiting to happen. 41miles starting Leslie /Queenish hopefully ending at same place....lookin' for a rough route any ideas from thems that track distances?

oh yeah, I was flicking channels a few days ago and 'the tuxedo' with Jackie chan was on, and the scene I saw was jackie chan as a taxi driver, who sees some lady he's hot for so he throws his door open right in front of a courier, played by Noah Danby who goes over his handlebars. Then the courier gets up and grabs chan through the door and pushes him up against the car, and then starts attacking it like a grizzly bear on PCP jumping up and down on the roof and generally wailing around until the cops show up and he high tails it out of there.

So the character was based on you, is that what you're trying to say?

Sorry, couldn't help myself. :D

From what I saw he should have been taking the lane anyways, but I would really expect better conduct from Chan.

2:15 gap.. go Bradyn! :D

i'm off work today and was going to head to ideal for beans and maybe a ride to follow (or proceed). what's your day like, chico?

Bradyn, wooohooo , yes....how the heck does Keith get in as a beginner?

I guess he's never ridden Ocup before? I think you need upgrade points in order to move up to higher classes.. Just a guess.

edit: "Swatty Wotherspoon - Chief Official".. best. name. evar.

Well, 9-5, as usual. But I have to pop out for some lunch at some point as I didn't have any leftovers from last night. Wanna grab some food? It's supposed to get rainy "late this morning" though, so if it's pouring I'm likely just going to hit up one of the trucks on St. George.

let's re-envision this scene. I'll play jackie chans part and you buy the pseudo courier on pcp :D

I'm bored being that guy. Let me be the chinese taxi driver for once!

a friend of mine was in that movie; what a horrible film. but jennifer love hewitt is in it so there are at least two reasons to watch it.

wes - i'm going to eat some breakfast and then head out for a ride. sometime after that at i deal is fine. it's raining now if that changes your mind.

FTW!

The worst movie i've ever seen has got to be battlefield earth. Almost a blasphemy to mention the name of the movie and JLH in the same post.
