The ball is moving and moving fast for the riding gear. The manufacture has provided us a final quote this morning and if anyone has not paid for their order easiest way is to see Matt at Smith Cycle. There is only 3 steps left for the ordering. Waiting on a Vector Graphic from one company and the other is for the upper management to accept and provide the Vector. The order will be placed by the end of this week if everyone steps up to the plate and pay for what they've requested. Need a refresher as to what they will look like... here is a quick sketch as to what they will look like. NOTE the placements/proportions will be better then what I did... I'm a cyclist not a graphic designer :-) [cid:image001.jpg@01CABF9F.86964220][cid:image002.jpg@01CABF9F.86964220][cid:image003.jpg@01CABF9F.86964220] Dave wrote: Well is everyone ready to start riding outside with this awesome weather we have? I have made it out a couple of times but other than that I haven't really been on the trainer either. I hate to keep asking but I was just wondering if anyone knows what is going on with the riding gear? I need to order some new riding gear but was wondering if we are still getting the group gear. If we are getting some group riding gear that would eliminate some of my other order. Any info would be great. Hope to see you all soon. ________________________________ _______________________________________________ CKcycle mailing list CKcycle@lists.ncf.ca<mailto:CKcycle@lists.ncf.ca> http://lists.ncf.ca/mailman/listinfo/ckcycle

Alex, I would give a shout to Matt if you are uncertain... 519-351-5588 if I recall Matt also has the list of confirmed individuals and if they paid or not. Seems he knows everyone on the list... WOW what great public relations he has :-) Alex V wrote:

I agree. I know that the municipality spent a lot of money to paint the bikes lanes… in November! And now they are mostly worn off. I hope the contractor that they used will be planning on re-doing the paint job at no additional expense. I am also not willing to ride that close to the edge unless absolutely necessary. I’m not up for wiping out in a pothole and there are many. On a positive note, when Jim Waters hit that pothole last summer, Matt called the city and they did patch it the NEXT day! Kudos to public works for listening and helping us stay safe.

It's all well and good painting pretty lines all over the place, but personally I won't be riding my road bike on them as this is where all the crud ends up and besides, the surface is usually broken up or just too rough. OK for mountain bikes I guess, but useless for us. OK, we typically ride out of town, but not always. I think it is good that there is some sort of "barrier" between the cars and bikes, but I think that this whole issue was contrived by non-cyclists. Comments?
