It gets blocked off every year because of ice along that stretch. The City closed it for the year.

Was it icy in there?

Customer appreciation night excludes bikes other than the ones mentioned in the invitation - after reading their exclusions it basically boils down to this: you can buy stuff that didn't sell this...

I ended up getting a GT Pantera from Sportchek for just a hair under $600, and that has 27.5x2.8 tires with fairly tame tread. I rode through the snow yesterday and had the best time I've had on a...

It was not passable on Tuesday when the snow hit - I ended up walking the whole thing on the same tires. Got passed by a fatbike, and decided right then and there that I'm buying one. I've had enough...

I rode it this morning - 700x35 studded front and 700x37 non-studded rear winter. It was awful, all over the place pretty much the whole way. If I could find little patches that weren't packed out it...

I had a horrid commute this morning - I'll drop the pressure for sure before going home....that was bad news this morning. I'm pretty well committed to something wide after this morning (looking at...

I'd look at the derailleur hanger to make sure it's straight (with a tool, not with your eyes) and go through the derailleurs (redo the limit screws and re-index). If that's not working then could be...

I have a used rim from a client that upgraded his rear. 700c, rim brake. I’ll check the number of holes and measurements later tonight. It’s a silver rim.

A lot of lawyers will do a free half-hour consult to get clients, so look/google/ask around for recommendations from your social network and reach out. The least you can do is find out what they...

That really sucks, I'm sorry to hear you're down and out after something like that. I was inches from the same thing yesterday in Bowness with a left turning car coming into me, the driver would have...

Fat bike sounds amazing in the winter, but I'm really worried about loss of speed (we have a one year old at home and I want to get home as quick as I can so I don't miss him before bedtime). What...

I guess I'll go the 27.5+ route then. That's too bad, I was hoping something sort of regular size would handle the packed snow pathways a little better. Maybe I'll risk a cheap CCM bike.....

On...

I have a question for you regular winter commuters: I've been using 700x35's for the past couple of winters, and even though they're studded I'm really sick of getting pushed all over the pathway...

I'm pretty well done with Luna - their customer service is the shits.

Sounds like you probably just need to adjust your hub - if it's too tight you'll get a rough and resisted feeling when turning the wheel. Watch a video on how to adjust your hubs, try that before you...

Take the train? I do that when I don't ride - costs $3.30 each way and motivates me to bike more often (mostly due to the people on the train getting all up in my business).

I built a bike stand...

I rode all week - yesterday on the way into work with all the slippery stuff I passed someone walking a road bike along the north side of Bow River coming from Edworthy Park. Not sure he knew that...

My fastest commute in the summer on the way home was about 48 minutes, with a massive tailwind and feeling really strong. I just did that last Friday and again Tuesday in horrible conditions, I'm...

I just installed a BBSHD mid-drive ebike kit on my commuter (Giant Fastroad) and tried it out for the first time last week, then again this morning. Wow, what a way to commute! I know the purists...

Strava is making their little year end videos again, check your emails for that. Kind of fun to watch some of the stats (if you're a Strava user).

I rode in today - passed a fat bike at Bowness Park with my skinny studded tires haha. Paths were really clear there though, there were some sections where I really wished I had a fat bike. Pretty...

That's awesome man, and tracking it pre-smart phone tracking! I'm impressed. Started commuting from Tuscany to downtown a little over a year ago, and getting close to my first full year of tracking....

Haha if I did that my wall would be a complete mess. I'm not known as a sniper, and that's by beer league standards. Never thought of the rope to hoist it up out of the way, that's a good idea. I'm...

I have an unfinished basement (insulated with vapor barrier) and am going to be setting up something so I can shoot pucks down there. My thought was to hang carpet from the joists about half a foot...

Got in a little over 4,400km in 2016! I started commuting to work in late 2015, then moved to Tuscany in August 2016 and the kms started to rack up like crazy. Longest ride was 55km, and I would...

When I went to pass the person both times I asked if they wanted to draft me and the response was less than stellar (ie. lots of swearing). When I draft I try not to get too close - I'd say about two...

So I've been getting back into commuting after getting back from vacation and all's been well until this week. I've had a bit of a tough week with other life stuff making me a bit tired, and I...

I got warned once this summer by another cyclist and it saved my bacon - keep on warning others! 20 feels slow when you've been working hard on a ride, I could definitely get caught going over 20...

Awesome, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'll give it a try next week - if it's any shorter than my current one maybe I'll start going that way all the time.

Thanks for the recommendation, I have a gift card for atmosphere so I'll go take a peek at those. I'm going to need something pretty soon, if the temp drops any more than earlier this week my hands...

This thread is amazing! I've started commuting from Tuscany to the stampede grounds everyday (about 25km each way) and am going to ride through the winter. I'm looking at winter boots and want clip...

I've just started biking to work every day, and when I move from the beltline to the burbs in the next year I'll be ultra happy about all the bike lanes in Calgary. I used them a lot today,...

I just went to Richmond Green last weekend with the gf - it was her first round in 15 years and only her second round ever. Perfect course for that, the longest hole from the women's tee is around...

Again I diasgree - people's perceptions can be changed, you just need to put the appropriate amount of resources into changing them. The people you're trying to persuade are a small piece of the pie...

The idea is to provide enough incentive to de-carbonize fossil fuels through technology. The technology to do this is available today, it's just not economic (but a carbon tax would move us towards...

You're being a bit dramatic here - for someone who's so worries about this issue you should be trying to persuade people to conserve more in their lives. There are a lot of ways that people can...

I strongly disagree with your assessment of a carbon tax - it's not a money grab by any means but a way to use market forces to direct resources towards technology development. Incentives like a...

I worked in the financial industry for a little while and picked up enough knowledge to be comfortable with my financial skills to go it on my own. I'm no guru, and am certain there is plenty I don't...

Awesome, thanks for that.

So my car got broken into last night in my parkade, some class act saw fit to smash in my rear driver's side window but made sure to pry up the door frame around the window before smashing it. I have...
