    What's the weakest link in stopping you from riding longer?

    Getting older. Knees, butt, and shoulders hurt at different times, in different amounts, depending on the ride and its length.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    I think my V65 Magna is still sitting in my brother in law’s garage. I have to check out what my neighbour has. He said his motorcycle was also faster, and it’s not a VMax.

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    Just saw a stand up scooter fly past a photo radar at 172 speeds today. I didn’t know they could go that fast. It’s getting dangerous to go for a walk, especially if you travel mixed use paths where the speed limit is 20 kph.

    Daily sports car?

    Not sure if it’s considered a sports car, but we might look at the Alfa Romeo Tonale Veloce hybrid, when we begin our new car buying process.

    Daily sports car?

    Sounds like you’ve never driven a Buick.

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    Recomendation on power adapter for Italy?

    I have a universal plug from Bentley that plugs in anywhere I’ve been, including GB, Italy, Kenya and Tanzania. It outputs 2 usb A and 1 usb c as well as a universal power outlet, but doesn’t convert from 220. Wife got the same one somewhere else. You might be able to find one cheaper...

    Need suggestions for a high-end laptop

    If your previous laptop was a touchscreen, then I’d look for another, and have it able to fold in half. I went from a crappy entry level touchscreen to a gaming computer a year or two ago and I really miss the touchscreen features.

    Optimum No Rinse Stock

    I’ll probably wash mine before I put it away for the winter; otherwise, that’s what rain is for.

    Chain lubricant

    Right now I’m kind of doing the opposite of Lightcycle. I’m using either new or used engine oil and an old rag; preferably over a piece of cardboard. On an old bike, I did no chain cleaning/lubing and some of the links froze, which causes issues.

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    I used to live 8 km from work. It would take 8 minutes door to door and 12 to cross the city. Then we tore down the Gardiner. It went to half an hour or more. Since they’ve reduced the lanes from three to two near Marilyn Bell Park, it’s closer to an hour, even at 06:30. I rode my bicycle...

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    6:30 am and the Gardiner is jammed from High Park on. Once you get past Jarvis everyone’s doing a buck twenty. Boggles the mind. How do councillors/mayors get reelected?

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    If you do it right only one vehicle merges in front of you right where the lane ends. It goes sideways when Good Samaritan lets everyone and his brothers and sisters in before they get anywhere near the merge point. I find the difficult part is discouraging people from merging early. Some get...

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    I’m curious as to how the burden of proof worked in this constitutional case. Cyclists don’t have to prove how taking public transit will be more dangerous, but the government has to prove that removing cycling lanes will improve gridlock. Isn’t the onus usually upon the people making the...
