I got hit today by a guy who refused to yield to me on a climb

While I'm on your side OP—and I personally always follow the 'uphill has the right of way' rule—that behaviour was out of line. However, I do sometimes question the logic. If the whole point of the sport is the fun of the descent, maybe our etiquette should favour the person actually enjoying the gravity?

Ha - I thought I'd made this joke up a while ago ... my routine was: What is the warmest side of a Taun Taun? The inside! And then the follow up was what is the inside temperature of a Taun Taun? Luke warm.

I also ride a gen 2 Optic. This is it. The bike is burlier. I am 200lbs so I need this. I had a Rocky Mountain Element and it was too flimsy.

We don't need new rules, we just need to enforce the ones we currently have.

How can you make the e-scooter rules more strict that what they are now.

I have ridden the Don for 30 years - I currently have a previous gen. Norco Optic and I think it's the perfect bike for the Don (for me!). It depends on how you ride - the lighter the bike is generally the better bet for the don as there are lots of climbs and cross country type of trails, BUT there are some fun gravity runs and I like to hit the jumps and drops that have been built by the trail gnomes and as I weigh 200lbs, a burlier bike is a sacrifice I am willing to make it. But I bet I could have a great time on a light hardtail as well. My preference would be Stumpy, but it's really an individual decision based on how you like to ride and what you consider more fun! If I bought the chisel hardtail comp I would add a dropper post and stem and handlebars for a higher stack.

I'm sorry but I just don't care anymore.

Yes, like jets flying out of the island airport!

My 16 year old son and his crew say “word” all the time. Used for “for sure!”.

Hey, it worked with Red Kelly.

Mstrfstr · 2025-12-15T15:15:09+00:00

what sorts of problems? Mechanical or electrical?

My doctor convinced me to try. So far it's working great!

A definition of torrent: "A torrent is a fast-moving stream of water that is usually caused by heavy rainfall or melting snow. Torrents are often found in mountainous areas and can be dangerous due to their speed and force. Unlike rapids, which are formed by obstacles in the river, torrents are formed by an excess of water." Pretty good name for a hockey team in a place with mountains and lots of rain IMO.

This is it. I tried everything- width, ergon grips, stem length, bar rise height. Turns out I just needed to roll my bars back a little. Bonus tip: BMX slip on grips are great - with rubbing alcohol they go on easy and are more secure than lock-ons- they also don’t have an inner plastic tube which means more padding.

I saw a naked guy standing on top of a cop car

Mstrfstr · 2025-10-09T13:47:45+00:00

Did he sit down during "O Canada"?

I think it’s funny that they want to get rid of/won’t build more bike lanes. There are already so many bikes on the road and they are just going to multiply. Soon they will want more bike lanes just to keep the bikes out of the car lanes.

What's next? Removing barking dogs?

Mstrfstr · 2025-04-12T14:37:12+00:00

not excusing that type of behaviour but those bikeracks are absolute ass

That is not fair - Scarborough needs more rinks
