- While problems crop up with bike rings somewhat oftener than we’d like—faulty installation, getting lopped off during construction—as a whole, we’d certainly much rather have them than not. Which raises the question: who decides where the ring-and-posts go, and how?
- The deadline for baseball teams to make trades without waivers passed at 4 p.m. today. Here’s the scoop on some of the Blue Jays’ key moves thus far.
- Also in sports news: he may not get a medal, but Richmond Hill-er Milos Raonic gets major kudos for his endurance in today’s Olympic tennis match against the French Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, which was the longest in the history of the Olympic Games.
- Finally, in a different kind of endurance event, here is a video of a man eating 12 Burger’s Priest burgers in two-and-a-half minutes.
