I use tiny carabiners to lock the zipper pulls together for my backpacks/tankbags. Shiny red so they stand out against the black/grey bags, visual reminder to secure them.

RIP Rider.

401 eastbound & come south on DVP? Or Don Mills has MC/HOV Lane. Either way, once you get into East York, it's gonna suck.

On Eglinton Ave E Westbound approaching Brentcliffe Rd. Saw large pile of gravel in the middle of the road on the uphill section & significant amounts between lanes over the blind crest. Tire tracks *seemed* safe, but I didn't get a good enough look since I was in the left turn lane. This...

Tough choice, all three are remarkably similar in specs & looks. I've been on the Phantom since 2012 and I love it. I think it comes down to price & ergonomics. Go to the dealers & sit on them. Try a test ride if possible. That's the only way to be certain. The market is full of blacked-out...

I sometimes use the one on O'Connor, just 2 minutes west of Victoria Park. Not usually crowded. $2/2 minutes IIRC. Personally, I don't use their soap. I take a little Simply Green with me if I need soap. I was actually planning on going tomorrow around noon.

Last weekend I saw an ebiker who left me speechless. Rode the wrong way up a one-way side-street & then jaywalked across a divided section of Eglinton E. Lifted the scoot over the median, then jaywalked/rode across to the other side. smh.

Always exciting to see another Phantom. Saw you Southbound on Don Mills Sunday 4/27 around 630-7pm.

I'm too lazy to sew, so I started using fabric glue for small mending jobs like this. I just checked my bottle, it's "Aleene's Fabric Fusion". Bought it from a hobby store at Spadina/Adelaide couple years ago.

I bought my phantom from Markham Outdoor Power & had first service there. After that I've had a hard time getting a straight answer out of their staff for any question. I was basically told to leave my bike & they'll call me in a week to tell me when they are going to work on it. The service...

Red Triumph near Queen/Spadina this afternoon. Sorry I made you rush out of your spot before you warmed up, but I'd already circled the block & there were no other spots & I was running late. Thanks for the spot. PM if you're in the area later, coffee on me!

Be wary of puddles & metal grates/tracks. Expect sand/salt/grit in the corners. Don't expect your tires to grip well. At 0c your hands WILL freeze even with leather+fleece+thermal glove liners, so stay off the expressways for long periods. Most importantly, if you are second-guessing your...

GWS Rider. I pass by there almost everyday. I hate that right turn from Brentcliffe onto Eglinton.

I just spent the last two weeks obsessing over my tail light bulb. Replaced the bulb twice & almost ordered an OEM bulb from the dealer for $15. The tail light was working but brake light wasn't. Even cleaned the terminals with Q-tips. Never occurred to me that the tail light & brake light...

I know this is a serious sub-forum, but I can't get this thought out of my head: What if I ride alone in the provincial HOV lane wearing a t-shirt that says "If you can read this, the b**** fell off"? :)

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if it is possible to submit a "correction" to the MTO in this situation?

RIP rider

Democracy works! Or "the squeaky wheel gets the grease", if you're cynical. Glad to see we got a reprieve, for now. Thanks to Face for staying on top of this throughout & to all who flyered bikes. A number of riders I met at City Hall knew about this through flyers only. I was quite lost...

I'll be at City Hall tomorrow. I have no idea what to do once I get there. Is there some procedure to follow, or do we just show up? How many other GTAM riders are planning on going?

Contact your insurance company first. If you were legally parked, common sense says this isn't your fault. If insurance won't help, try to file a police report. Get a written damage estimate from your shop and contact the building owner's head office, (not the on-site property management)...
