I used to have a lovely bright yellow Marin mountain bike with a gel saddle and toe clips on the pedals - bought it direct from the factory and it still cost me more than £400. I used to do a lot of cross country off roading.. I miss that bike.

Going to ask Santa for one of these. The front truck has a special articulation mechanism so the ride is more fluid. Should be good to bomb about on in the spring while getting some exercise.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I was here last weekend.

I imagine that the single family houses on the left and right won't be around for long. When I was @ U of Waterloo as a student the whole street single family homes, some rented out to students others were family homes.
I hope for the builders sake that there is a constant stream of students wanting to move in !!!

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Brampton has lots of huge houses very close together. Indians (at least those I work with) tend to have family members to visit for months on end, hence wanting a lot of internal space, and to have no interest in plants, hence wanting the lawn paved and not caring how close the next house is.
