Home Sweet Home

Posted in General Stuff, JoyRide150 on April 17th, 2010

Fortifications at the new most-time home of Misfit Psycles Inc will be forevermore an ongoing process.

Walls have been painted in the most environmental way financially plausible, using only the finest in surplus Dingle cans (light yellow and ice sculpture).

The most non-negotiable necessities have also been installed (fridge, coffee).

For all intents and purposes, shipping is up-to-this-date and primarily not behind for products that were otherwise in stock.
That is, what stock there is, stock can now be located.

Official “Office Hours” remain long overdue.
Essentially and predictably I have determined (accepted) that publishing such is really too far beyond any level of dedication and commitment that I could possibly adhere to.
Disappointment would ultimately ensue.

Until further notice:

P.O.O.P.:
(Psycles Official Office Policy)

Misfit Psycles and Psycle Store hours and availability to the general public are VERY flexible.
We aim to accommodate.
Please assume that we have intentions of being available and in attendance at the specific time you have requested, however, due to circumstances beyond our planning we regret to inform you that we are unable to make it (on time, at all) as intended.
If you require further details or specifics please email in advance to coordinate.

In all likely hood there will be something somewhere about a few hours here and there but most likely nothing predictable.

Yes.
There will be a grande opening.
It won’t be all that grande and most of you won’t be invited.
That alone should make it an exquisitely exclusive event.
There won’t be gifts.
Beer will NOT be cleverly disguised in MEDIEVAL TIMES collector cups, so don’t even ask.
This is a non-licensed facility.

Further more.
I am thinking that a 24hrs of Joyride for sometime might be right swell as well.

Certainly a first.

Solo only.
Variable courses.
Marshalled only by some sort of ‘ride-time’ calculator…

Yes.
Yes I like that.

Late Edit:

As the Canadian dollar pummels your weakling foreign things, PayPal purchases continue with reckless abandon.

If you MUST buy from PSYCLESTORE please, only YOU can end this psycle spending spree.
STOP paying by PayPal.
START paying by Visa or Mastercard.

Despite the frivolities, things are coming together quite nicely thank you.

How to Meet Royalty and International Persons

Posted in General Stuff, JoyRide150 on March 25th, 2010

The greatest move that almost was continues to be.
Smooth as Golden.

Without the distraction and formality of anything official, officials formerly from the Court of Distraction, acting on behalf of the Misfit Psycles Corporation, will formerly be at the JOYRIDE150 facility for an official appearance this coming Friday and Saturday.

Friday March 26 from 17:00-22:00
Saturday March 27 from 13:00-22:00

It should be noted that this appearance is strictly for promotional purposes, the securing of limited (FREE) menial labour and further public assertion of our own self importance.
The Misfit Psycles Corporation reserves the right to limit or deny acknowledgement of persons not capable of satisfying one of the early mentioned criterium…those persons are encouraged to pay admission to the facility and sit quietly out of the way.

The offices of Misfit Psycles, Menstrual Psycles, Psycle Store and Peter Keiller Inc will NOT be open to the general public during this time.  Not that they ever are.  We do not encourage the general public in the least, generally speaking there are an unlikeable sort.
NOT the good me-like unlikeable either.

Order pick-up MAY be arranged in advance.
Please email.  Phone calls are still not being answered.

Aside from celebrity viewings, a few lucky JOYRIDERS might even catch a first hand glimpse as the Corporate contamination of Bullock continues.

Specifically on target, the Psycle Store shipping department must be made morely orderly.

Most likely, shipping to resume Monday March 29.

Furthermore, final aspersion is necessary in the technology think tank and Presidents lounge.

What goes with mint cabinetry?
Anything.

In addition to your limited, once in a weekend opportunity to work for and International conglomerate, Misfit Psycles would like to present (for your full viewing pleasure) a genuine real live foreigner!

International commoner and totally retired but nearly great downhill personality, Dan Mutz will ALSO be in attendance.

Upon hearing of the great move and eminent Dingle Departure, Daniel quit his job, closed Likin’ Bikin’ and began the multi-hour pilgrimage.

SEE AN AMERICAN!
WORK FOR THE EMPIRE!
COME TO JOYRIDE 150!

Suckers don’t make it.

JoyRide Primed Time

Posted in General Stuff, JoyRide150 on January 27th, 2010

Joyride One50 was the recipient of some notable (pre-sensible-hour) press yesterday.

While the Court of Dingle slept, from 0600 to 0900, the park to end all parks played host to one of Toronto’s numerous roving hostii.
This is big.
Locally.

Specifically in North America’s LARGEST cycling market with a FUNCTIONATING Indoor Bike Park…

Particularly since the big-boy cameras the press used made for far better highlights then the ones Noah has been shooting from his Fisher Cam.

What does it mean to be on City TV?
Particularly Breakfast Television?

A lot.  This is big.  This is very good.

Not as big as say…mmmmm…being on the MOST EXCELLENT AND MIND EXPANDING DISCOVERY NETWORK.

Then again and perhaps, maybe someone in the Jay Arrgh won 5o marketing compartment just ran out of steam eerrr rather is working up to something big’sh like that….afterall…everybody knows smart people pedal too.

***In the interest of fair publicity far be it from me to establish a jaded parameter of comparison for the more out-of-town-viewers***

Still, City TV is a fine station.

And Breakfast TV provides just the kind of superficial day numbing analysis that todays public wants.

Yes, City and Breakfast Television did well by our favorite Summer’s family.
And that other family on the deed, the one that we occasionally forget about, the one comprised of a Sean and Sahara.

In the evenings City TV has The Bachelor and The Biggest Loser and Cougar Town…Breakfast TV has Kevin Frankish.
Whom, if not for kryptonite suspenders, would have been torn apart at the limbs many moons ago for crimes against humourity.

In a nut shell, despite our own intentions, we buy tabloids, we eat McDonalds.
And so what?
Just because City TV is to television what Danielle Steel is to literature what Cheetos is to nutrition what Cervelo is to mountain bikes and what Papyrus is to fonts, that’s fine.  It’s fine.  They’re fine.  Really.

Here is what BT has up:

JoyRide 150 Part 1

JoyRide 150 Part 2

There you have it.
And what you have is unmitigated unaltered undeniable proof that LESLIE SUMMERS ENCOURAGED (AND SUBSEQUENTLY HOUSED) HUNDREDS OF SUSCEPTIBLE AND PLIABLE SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN TO SKIP FIRST PERIOD AND THE LORDS GODDAMN PRAYER.

Despite this revelation (and impending investigation), you simply MUST book a weekend.

For the more foreign of you types, plenty of places to hide out:
ACCOMMODANTS

For the thirsty, Unionville is a nice escape from the bowels of Markham:
ACCELERANTS

For the more lonely of types, Markham is province-wide famous for providing plenty of (international) apres ride company.
ACCESSORANTS

Speaking of the cheap Nummers you needed…

Joy of the Ride

Posted in JoyRide150 on January 7th, 2010

I haven’t ridden in the house that Mark and Scott built for a very long time.
Since it opened.
Since I failed to appear for the pre-portion of this past HULLABALLOO.

Today, having layered this and that.
Carefully considering and re-searching.  Then tracing for the mostly.

I began the not so over my head task of laying up the lines…just like I said I would.

It should be noted that once all routes are completed the shadowed inlines (including titles, walls and features) will be removed for a far more devoid of content look.

Undoubtedly bound to be tri-folded with the undergroundical greats of NYC and LE TUBE.
