KeJeeJee is not just for selling Stolen Bikes


Sorry for the funny spelling in the post title, but I didn't want to run afoul of our our Internet Overlords with some sort of trademark infringement.
 
This post is just a quick note to mention that sometimes, good bikey things happen. Even on classified ad sites.
 
 
 
 
  
We wanted to publicly thank Janice, who contacted us this morning saying she had spotted my husband stolen bike , abandon by her apartment.

There ARE wonderful people who are willing to do the right thing, and we are so grateful!

My little boy was ecstatic this morning when he found out we could go for bike rides with Papa again.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We will pay it forward whenever we can :)
 
 
 
 Hey everybody, Janice ROCKS!

D & R & Life's Rich Pageant

Here in London Ontario there are two abbreviations or euphemisms for intersections that I know of. The more fun (and delicious) one is "Ham & Eggs", the intersection of Hamilton Road and Egerton Street. This intersection, more than any other I can think of in this fair city, is a PERFECT candidate for a roundabout if the City could get enough space. It is a signalized nightmare where 3 fairly major streets converge:
 
 
If you live in a city, it's a good bet that you've got something similar. I felt obligated to mention Ham & Eggs because of its awesome name, but Ham & Eggs didn't inspire this post. D&R did.
 
Dundas and Richmond streets intersect in what most Londoners would consider the heart of Downtown. Some people avoid D&R if they can. Others love it, at least in part for the variety of characters you'll find there. I am one of these. When I see odd stuff and people, I'm reminded of the REM album title "Life's Rich Pageant". REM didn't coin the phrase, but they did introduce it to me. I enjoy the pageant. Very much. Like yesterday...
