It's like dealing with the ghost of Turbodish.
I mentioned murder for a reason. Everyone feels entitled to violate the HTA but in 2017 in Ontario we had 197 murders.
But HTA violations resulting in more deaths including.
- 133 deaths due to drinking and driving.
- 114 deaths due to speed.
- 107 deaths due to distracted driving.
- 75 deaths due to drugs.
If the police are going to enforce speed limits and full stops on cars which they did. They should also enforce them onto cyclists. Cyclists shouldn't get a free pass to violate the HTA to which they are supposed to be held to.
Let me guess. You pick all forwards in your fantasy hockey pool.
Let me guess, math isn't your thing? That's a total of 429 deaths involving just those 4 violations, with a total of 617 traffic fatalities that year. Which is a fair number higher then 197.
I get your point. But just to argue for the sake of arguing, how many of those deaths were caused by cyclists?
Or are the cyclists on the receiving end of the HTA violation murder stick? And sadly a lot of those murdered cyclists rarely get justice as the driver license seems to help reduce your sentence in front of the judge.
And only 114 of them are related to speeding. Buy yourself an abacus.

So anyhow……..about cycling, how bout that Anna Kiessenhofer??? Amateur PHD mathematician beats the powerhouse Dutch team to take gold!
I was watching the race wondering what was going on, why no one could organize a proper chase. Devastation for Van Vleuten to cross the line thinking she’d won.

That is a problem with the HTA, non-motorized vehicle accidents are not recordable. So police forces like the Toronto Police put them down as incident reports, and a lot of them are just never reported.
IN THE DARK: Toronto fails to track cases of cyclists hitting pedestrians
As Toronto marches forward with cyclist-friendly plans, City Hall is in the dark about how many serious cyclist-pedestrian collisions are occurring on the city’s co…

Also first gold for Austria in nearly 20 years.
Probably going to get herself another Gold medal (Goldenes Ehrenzeichen) once she goes back to Austria.
Rubber gasket #3 was installed in place of the crown race. There was no crown race other than the fork metal sleeve.
Mechanics?
He had surprising knowledge on headsets and bearing races....
BTW, I think the race is missing on the fork....

Goddamnit. I finally broke down and bought a stand this year but no parks were available. I got a cycle pro (bike hand) amazon special. It's decent. Does Browns allow pickup @230? I have seem sales before where the store builds their profit into the shipping and won't let you pick up at the marked price. If not, the amazon one is still >$100 cheaper.This a decent price? $230 The 10.3's are out now.

Yes, I'm getting my brother in law to pick it up.
You have to enter noship in the vouchers section on checkout.
Only bad thing for me is it goes to paypal for payment.
The 9.2's are about $50 less, and the team ones are also on sale, but still pricey.
I got my original version of the 9 from Browns for I think $120 a few years ago because the new 9.whatever just came out. Just went by and bought it store front.
I picked up road cycling in May after picking up an older Costco bike (Tonino Lamborghini) for 50 bucks. I fixed it up as best I could and put 32mm gravel tires on it for putting around Owen Sound trails. I ended up doing 1500kms on it including a metric century.
Then a couple weeks ago I got this guy... still nothing fancy but a decent upgrade over the Lambo (which I'll be keeping as a city bike/beater)... 2009 Kona Zing.
Carbon fork, aluminum frame, some Shimano 105 bits (shifters/brake levers, FD, chain, cassette) and an Ultegra RD. I did an imperial century last Saturday, was pretty epic:
Any Strava users out there? Can't wait to move back to TO and blast through the local segments.
