Re: Hands off that helmet, Rants, Sept. 20: Commendable but... stupid. Is Joe Public really supposed to know that the cyclist [who left his helmet on a park bench] is coming back? I do not know your reasons forleaving his helmet, but surely it is not that cumbersome an article to take with him, or leave it on his head. Put asign on it next time!

Im just walking past Tim Hortons at the foot of Davie. They have a huge sign advertising their New Grilled Paninis. Panini is plural for panino. I am not sure why this grammatical error surprises me, coming from a company that does not know enough to put the apostrophe in Hortons but it does!

My husband and I are so fed up with cyclists.We have both tried to be patient when we are driving down the street with a biker holding up traffic, especially because we want to avoid hitting him/her.Its exasperating as hell but when you live in the West End its part of life down here.On Sunday, I was driving down Beach Ave. and this arrogant A-hole rides down the road right in front of me middle of the lane as if he was a car. I had to drive under the speed limit while he totally ignored me. We got to a four-way stop and and big surprise he just rode right on through.Really?And these guys wonder why people get pissed and dont want to yield to them?I know there are some responsible riders out there butweve had too many bad experiences. Its called sharing the road people! Just crazy.
