Exactly, my statement was a reflection of the general populace mentality, not my mentality.

Crash at the velodrome. Lead rider went down and the rider on the above bike ran straight into the downed rider doing about 25-30mph

Feel better?

Actually, that wouldn't make you feel better, but makes me feel better:)

Today I opened an account with Wound Up just so I could get a good deal for a fellow forum member on a fork. The things I do for you guys... :D

I also fell in love with Boar's Head chipotle Gouda cheese. Go to the deli right now.

damn, woooooooooosh

Like this?

Today I had a good road ride and did my good deed for the month while on the ride. Stopped and helped a guy who had his chain/rear deraillieur go into the spokes of his rear wheel. Cut the chain and rigged it so it was singlespeeded and got the rear wheel trued so that it could be limped back to his car. Then continued on my ride.

Identical to that except it only took down one rider

Ruh roh. Bad news for my wallet.

A friend of mine bought a Brooks saddle today. B17 Narrow. Gorgeous saddle, I really want to splurge on one now...

Today was a good day.

Today my granpa came to town. Pretty sweet. Brought me some vintage Swchinn Approved Snap On metric wrenches. He also said he'd bring me his vintage Park truing stand. Pretty stoked.

That is awesome.

hell yeah. If you can find a grandpa that used to own a bike shop, get one. They're awesome.

Holy Moley!!!! Are there7/8" and 47/64" cone wrenches in there??? I woulda traded my left nut for a 7/8" one about a month ago.

Today I had the best dinner ever.

So hungry. I wonder why.

I'd be interested to know how many guys here have family who are/were into cycling. I know My grandfather loves it, and my dad is warmed up to it at this point. I think it rubbed off on me.

Did anyone else here catch the bug from a family member?

Had to snap a few pictures when I was at the Polish market today just so I could torture the carnivores... this is a stone's throw from my house.

You're just the worst! And yes my mouth is watering. :cry:

Worst part is how cheap the stuff is.

The prices on some of the Polish dry goods is a little steeper but the deli prices are excellent... there are two shops side by side which brings a little competition.

The fresh sausage is awesome and the neighbouring shop always has my favourite Juniper sausage which is traditionally a holiday item.

Without going farther than a mile I can hit two Polish shops, the Hungarian Deli, Ethiopian shop and butcher (fresh injira every day), Italian Market (Food heaven), Chinese market, East Indian market, and several new African / West Indian grocers.

I live in food heaven.
