Road Rash.

I think I’ve finally found the perfect bike for me and hope to go and buy it after work. News stories like this don’t have me rushing to make a purchase: CBC News A dozen Ottawa Bicycle Club members were cycling down Riverside Drive in June 2004 when a truck drove by the group, slowed [...]


Good Advice, Yellow Suit.

Well, today is the day to act like today is your day, and you will be surprised that it is! – Apollo Sunshine love the lyrics, like the song, not sure about the video.
