Japanese Bicycle Garage – Wait Until You See This

Our son Ryan sent me a video this week about a very interesting bicycle storage technique being used by the Japanese. You’ll have to let me ramble for a while before you see it (or skip ahead a bit). In my little world, bicycle storage is a matter of waiting until the first...

Cycling – Stonebr...

I have been experimenting with various methods of tracking the routes I take. Often times I am asked about a particular route and I am hard-pressed to remember road names etc…. Enter Helen’s iPhone. It coupled along with a nifty application from EveryTrail allows me...

Bamboo Bicycles –...

My Brother-in-Law Doug sent me a link to a Discovery Channel Video that I thought was pretty cool. When you think of it, a bicycle frame made from bamboo makes perfect sense. Bamboo is an extremely light and durable wood. It is easy to work with and widely available. Plus it is 100%...

My Step-Mom (Helene) showed up over the weekend for a visit. Low & behold, what is that I see leaning up against the house? OMG, it’s a folding bicycle! Not just any folding bicycle. It’s a Raleigh Folder. I had totally forgotten that my Dad & Helene had bought...

What does one do when it’s -20 degrees Celsius outside? Go bike shopping of course! This morning I spirited my friend Sergio away from his family duties in order to bike shopping. I know a lot about bikes. But road bikes are a different beast and I wanted someone I could trust...

I have hummed and hawed about what to do with respect to 2 wheeled transport whilst on our upcoming Dutch cycling adventure. We have finally decided that we will be a bit “crazy” and buy Dutch bicycles when we get there. My friend Marc over at Amsterdamize has been kind...

Cycling in Holland – so many bicycle choices to make

Cycling in Holland R...

As I have mentioned (ad nauseum), Helen & I are going a 2 week cycling excursion to Holland (aka The Netherlands). We had originally thought that we would bring our Trek 7.5 FXs with us as they are ideally suited for such an excursion.

Darn! If only one could get on a plane and arrive at a destination and simply get on a bike without any other planning. Oh well…… So – down to business. Part of planning a bike trip is making sure that you have the right gear (aka equipment). I have done tons of...

Cycling – What do...

I am going on a big trip today to my friend Tony’s place today. On my back from the LCBO, my cycling computer screen started to go awry.
