I wonder if it comes in misty lilac?

Thank goodness you didn't get the new Surly Chuck Norris. I don't even want to think about what might have happened.

Huh, I wouldn't even need a bike anymore. I'd just run 60 km/h to work, tossing the cars out of the way like empty fast-food containers.

I can see it now. Nice.

I prefer the Soma Jack Bauer myself.

Very fun riding in your area.

There are a couple great bike shops quite close to MEC - and the Luddite is my clunker bike. About as good as you can get for less than 300 bucks. I love riding here - great network of bike paths/routes.
