Are there any skilled amature messenger bag makers among the bunch of you. I need some help with a current art project, and my sewing skills are under par. Possible renumeration, or colaberation. I apologize if this sounds solicitous, it was really meant to be more conversational...

Yes I thought there would be some pro bag makers, but possible renumeration really means that I am broke and cannot pay for what your labour is really worth. These are not for messenger bags, but I would like that kind of aesthetic.

I'm not lookin' to start a fight here but are there not any other / better places to play than in the bowl at Trinity?
I understand that it's not exclusively a dog park so I'm obviously cool with it being used for other things but it seems odd to play in the only off leash park in the area and think that nothing bad is going to happen...You're hitting a ball, dogs chase balls (well, mine doesn't, but he'll chase dogs who chase balls) - eventually someone is going to hit a dog and it's going to get ugly.
On a different note: I'm not all too familiar with bike polo... are there different styles? I seem to remember seeing more of a "ball hockey" style played somewhere and figured that would be super fun - I debated making a mallet and joining up but the "chase each other around the post" style the folks at Trinity Bellwoods play seems a little tame for my liking...

It's really hard to teach the horses how to ride bikes though.

Yeah totally. I do have a hankerin' for a road bike - which I hope to get before the end of the summer - but I'm so crazy stoked on my bike. Thanks Keith!
Sorry 'bout the repost folks. Just saw it and about caught the keyboard aflame. That's right, aflame.
I'm glad I didn't miss the sprints. I take it there'll be another attempt next week?
Came upon a hit cyclist on my home today at Church and Carlton. I noticed this Audi with it's front passenger wheel almost touching the curb with it's ass way out in the lane and a cyclist standing on the curb. I noticed when he turned that the wheel was not facing the right way. The crash had loosened his stem so I stopped and tightened it for him, gave the bike a very basic looking at - with my very limited wrenching abilities - and said it would get him home but he should have it looked at asap. I also advised him to get all the guys info - the car was still there and they were just getting back in - because he'll feel worse tomorrow. Suck man. I said, "Unfortunately, we've all been there."
"Cycle Safely" week everyone! w00t! w00t!
Ps. Picture a horse riding a bicycle. Hah... that rules!
