It wasn't easy for me to publish this to the community at large. I
am a little intimidated. It may cause me to be alienated amongst my
peers and colleagues, but after Sunday night, I already am - by their
actions. I also think that these concerns need to be voiced. I'm not
used to writing this way, and I really hate that its come to this, but
it was too important an issue and must be discussed.

complacency, you can reach them by: Phone: 519-434-0606 Email:

My bicycle is acting up.  I think it has to do with the derailer.  The pedals are rotating when I walk the bike and if I coast, the chain slackens. 

 I know some folks like to make this kind of thing happen on purpose, but it wasn't behaving this way this morning

Can anyone tell me how to fix this or help me fix it? THANKS!!!

Just a reminder, tonight is critical mass. 6pm at Vic Park. Ride leaves around 6:30ish

Don't let the snow stop ya! I rode my bike home last night and survived. No wipe outs! Ha!

Interesting article about power, wealth and food.

Children are definitely invited to participate, but adult supervision is required - It is not a  read more »
