Hah! If you’re offended by “blue” language and viciously personifying inanimate objects, read no further.

Date: 2010-06-29, 11:07PM EDT Me – We need to talk
ME – I… I don’t think we should see each other anymore
XTC = What! Why?
ME – It’s not you, I swear.
XTC – I’m too big… that’s it isn’t it!
ME = no, not at all… Hell, I’m 6′. technically I’m too big for you.
XTC – Is it my shifters? You don’t like the Deore’s anymore…
ME – No! I’m telling you it’s me, you’re perfect. You ride better than any other bike
XTC – What!!! you ass hole! you’ve been riding other bikes!
XTC – god I can’t believe you!
ME – Yes, ok I admit it! you’re just too… hybrid for me.
XTC – Her shocks are bigger aren’t they.
ME – god dammit, can we not… please.
XTC – I hate you. As soon as I find someone new I’m leaving.
ME – hahaha, don’t make me laugh, what are you gunna do, post a classified on Craigslist?

Toronto blogger is assigning herself 52 DIY tasks over the year. The one shown above, is a bike garden. Who wants to run to the store to get fresh herbs when you can simply grow them yourself, and take them with you?

I really seem to be obsessed with carrying things on wood on bicycles these days.
Here’s another design for a bike-mounted rack, called the Bent Basket. Thick nylon straps are removable and interchangeable and the base looks like a skateboard design gone wrong. I like it, although those straps could really wreck havoc on fresh strawberries (my girlfriend and I are having a heck of time getting strawberries and raspberries home on our bikes without the end result looking like a CSI crime scene).
More info from the Bent Basket site:
Each bent basket is handmade from bent wood, an aluminum frame and stretchy nylon straps.
Some people may be attracted to commuter cycling by its environmental and health benefits, but of course, that’s not always the case. In Ireland, Dublin City Council, staged a Dublin Cycle Chic fashion show to illustrate that city cycling doesn’t require battle gear to get started, simply a bicycle and the clothes on your back (something many still seem to be learning about in Toronto):
Spotted near College Street and Dovercourt, a pair of bicycles with stunning most likely custom and handmade wooden crate baskets. The one pictured above had a curved bottom, which may help keep round objects from rolling around. Really dig the cut outs and the large size of both of these.
If anyone has any information on who made these, please share it in the comments below. I really like just how sturdy these looked, mine is starting to fail the test of time.
The G20 may mean that they didn’t get a permit to close Augusta, but that doesn’t mean this Sunday in Kensington will be a total bust:

Subject: This Sunday
Hey P.S. Kensington fans,
As you may have heard, the street closure permit has been cancelled for our June 27th Pedestrian Sunday. This means that cars will be allowed into the market, however, there will still be a festive atmosphere that day… music, dance, food and fun are no strangers to the streets of Kensington and a bunch of world leaders meeting in a fortified downtown core can’t stop us from having a good time.
Merchants, residents and anyone who is so inclined, feel free to take a parking spot and do what you will – don’t forget to feed the meter! There’s no law against selling street food if you are already a food vendor and follow board of health guidelines. Musicians welcome, take care not to block traffic or create dangerous situations for pedestrians. Creative interventions with urban space are part of everyday life in the market and Sunday will be no exception.
The above “tweet” continues to make rounds on Twitter. Already, bike racks are being removed from the G20 security zone and if you’ve chosen to lock your bicycle to fence or other remaining post, you could return to find no bike at all.
If your bicycle is removed from the security zone, it will, after a few days, end up at the Property Bureau of the Toronto Police Services located 799 Islington Avenue, Toronto, ON , M2Z 5W8, phone: 416-808-3750
Should you be unable to bring your bicycle inside during this week, now may be a great time to discover the Bicycle Station located within Union Station which will remain open this week, with southern access only.
