Anyone here have a 26.0 threaded stem they want to sell me? Length between 90 to 110 mm.

Negative rise preferable...

I saw that when I watched the full clip on the news last night.. unedited clip is here:

It's sad that so many people just walked by, but I'm not surprised any more.. I went to court last year after witnessing a cabbie dooring a cyclist (who was riding in front of me).. the guy went down into traffic, with his head inches away from an 18 wheeler. It was at a busy intersection (Bay/Dundas) and no other driver/pedestrian stuck around to give their account.

I seem to remember someone talking about looking for new shoes, but I could be making that up. Anyway, according to Nashbar's latest spam they're having a one day shoe sale. http://www.nashbar.com/results.cfm?s...e-_-OneDayShoe

The apathy of the general population in and around the downtown core especially on public transportation is incredible. You could be getting shots, stabbed, assaulted, robbed, fellated right next to someone on a packed subway car or on a platform and you'd be lucky if anyone does anything or even notices.

Even if you're surrounded by people you can never count on anyone to help you or even notice you are in trouble. Rely on yourself, any external help is an extra bonus.

LordFoo,

What happened to the cabbie? In court I mean.

Shiznaz 05-09-07 08:24 AM

I just learned the butterfly soul razor technique last week and I've been itching to get in a cyclist/motorist altercation to test it out.

Damn, what a way to go. At least of the order was juggled a bit it wouldn't be SO bad ...

Shapelike: Thanks for all the help yesterday! I'm getting used to riding more in the hoods.

Let me know if you hear anything from Sidi, I checked out their site, but I couldn't find any technical stuff. The model is the Zeta.

Huzzah! Glad I could help out a little bit. I sent the email off - still waiting on a response.

Nothing much. The two parties ended up agreeing on a "reduced charge" (a fine, but no points) before anyone went before the court. The cyclist didn't want to drag the thing out + cost the guy his job -- I think he was happy enough that there would be a mark on the guy's record? I don't know if I would have been as "generous", but I didn't have much say as a witness.

shapelike 05-09-07 09:12 AM

Seriously, it's 21 degrees out there?

somnambulant 05-09-07 09:21 AM

yep.. and the terrible part is that I'm not sitting on a patio enjoying it. Stupid "employment". ;)
