Joe T. posted on the forum topic Choosing bike components in the group Bikes and bike gear: 19 minutes ago
Good to hear your bike (and all of the parts) were waiting for you.
Those are some nice bikes at Urbane. I like the first and third ones. I have nothing against single speeds – I just know that sometimes I want a high gear to "book it / crank it", and sometimes I [...]

Joe T. commented on the blog post Mayoral candidate Rocco Rossi wants to stop (and tear out) bikelanes 28 minutes ago
Thanks for your comment.
Just because you’ve seen less than 5 people using the bikelanes doesn’t mean they are empty. I often read that “no one uses the Wellesley Bikelanes”, yet I use them twice a day (and see lots of other people using them when I do)… so just because a driver in a [...]

Wenches with wrenches – that's the one!
My bike was waiting for me safe and sound and with all parts intact. Even with the skills and tools, I couldn't have fixed it on the spot – I took it to Urbane's and it turns out the wheel was out of alignment (how does a wheel [...]

Joe T. started the forum topic So, this is a cycling city? in the group News: 34 minutes ago
The Toronto Star asks a good question:
http://www.thestar.com/yourcitymycity/article/778311I think it's a testament to Torontonians that we have lots of cyclists despite behind behind every other major city in the western world when it comes to ramping up bike network plans.

I think it’s something that will go up as time goes on… but I bet a lot of cyclists aren’t biking yet “because it’s March”, even though the weather is nice.
It increased 7 degrees between my commute yesterday to today (-1 to 6), but I think we’d see far bigger jumps in other 7 degree [...]

Wow – cool graph. I’ll be curious to see where it goes and if the apparent correlation continues. I wonder if we’ll see an inverse correlation above, say, 30°C.

Why do the Dundas East Bikelanes turn into Sharrows west of Broadview?
http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/fixer/article/778147"Long after the lanes were created east of Broadview, the city looked into extending them over to River but determined there wasn't enough space to put in bike lanes and maintain four lanes of traffic.
Instead, it painted on "sharrows," which alert drivers to share [...]

Funny… I’ve seen that post… very good stuff. He loves his pie graphs.
I make graphs for tons of stuff. My wife makes fun of me, but seeing a visual representation of data is a good motivator for me.

Haha. Awesome. I love graphs.
This post where a designer replies to a request for a logo design with charts and graphs is pretty hilarious: http://www.27bslash6.com/p2p.html

Thanks for the new link SD and Joe.
There wasn’t a photo in yesterday’s Star article. I really like how there’s a UHaul truck parked on the sidewalk to the left of the cabs. It’s as if he came expecting ample parking in the bike lane and decided to take parking annoyance to a whole new [...]

I’m so mad about this. Imagine all the bs we would have to put up with if we got in the way of taxi’s? You ever idle just a second longer at a red light in front of a taxi? Honk like crazy don’t they? Ya.

I decided to make a graph. I like graphs. Even when they have only a couple of data points.
Continuing from yesterday’s post, here’s what I saw this morning.

Route: Danforth & Woodbine to Bay & [...] -

Here we have a taxi parked in the bike lane on St George Street, forcing a passing bicyclist out into the main street.

Anger as cars clog new Simcoe St. bike lane
There's a fresh new bike lane on Simcoe St. Just six months old, it was meant to calm the nerves of cyclists travelling the busy stretch under the GO lines and the Gardiner.
Instead, it's a parking lot.
As convention season heats up in Toronto, every major taxi company [...]
