Hey! I’m a french Canadian dropping into Melbourne next week,
Bike messenging:
any bike messenger around?
Is it a good season to apply without experience? (Got plenty of urban bike and Montreal winter urban-riding-on-ice-to-near-death-situations experience)
Used bike
Where can I get one, a solid one?
Or a good shop for used parts…
hi! are you from montreal? i lived there for ages. do you know marielle? last i heard she was working at that shop that does track bikes and lesbian haircuts (their words, not mine). i used to kick around with her a bit. and lissa greenspoon, but she hasn’t worked on the bike for a while now. hit us up so i can reminisce.
Actually I met her a few times! She works at Cycles Beaubien in Little Italy!? I gave her a box of spare parts last time I see her! Haha so funny you know her, I don’t know her personally a lot, but she was more friendly every times I dropped of there. I know she can build fine wheels, their bikes were nice, really retro looking, and not too expensive!
i lived in lasalle, actually, but spent most of my time in st henri / NDG (like everyone else). i also had a girlfriend - who lived off the island in hudson - for a very long time. despite my username i didn’t really hang out with the sXe kids, but did hang out with the crustie kids. that and a lot of time spent at QPIRG is how i know marielle.
