An Interview with Ex-Cy...

I must admit that I really didn’t know too much about Cyclo-cross until my pal Sergio showed me his Cyclo-cross bike. I was intrigued. Why would someone take a nice road bike and put those knobby tires on it? Apparently there are many good reasons. A brief description of Cyclo-cross...

Japanese Bicycle Garage...

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...

Spinning in Ottawa – It’s a Blast When You have a Great Instructor

Spinning in Ottawa R...

‘Tis the season! Yes, sad though it may be, cycling season in Canada’s Capital is coming to an end. At present the weather is crappy. No matter, there is an alternative that I have been relying on for quite a few years. Spinning. My location of choice is our local Goodlife. I...

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...

Cycling – Tour de...

I love July! Why? Apart from Summer & sunshine, the bulk of this month is consumed by the Tour de France. In my opinion the world’s most exciting cycling competition. This year’s race starts in the beautiful principality of Monaco on Saturday the 4th — with the...

Prince Edward County &#...

This past weekend Helen & I had the absolute pleasure of spending our weekend in Prince Edward County Ontario. I cannot say enough good things about this area of Ontario. Especially in terms of cycle-friendliness. The roads (on the most part) are quite good. The drivers (with...
