Had been a victim of a hit&run. My insurance company offered a low amount, IMHO. Courtesy of their appraisal, from Mitchell International. I asked for more, based on my pricing reasearch and accessories. Offering to settle for 50% more. Insurance company refused. I had to find my own appraiser...

Been wearing Carhartt Carpenter jeans for years. Being cotton, they are comfortable for long rides. They are tough, and the double layer at the front is a big help in spring, fall and winter. I buy them a couple of inches too long, that way I can tuck them into a bungee around my boot, to stop...

Anyone gone through the process of getting their Canadian bike across to Europe, and riding around the UK, France, Spain,Portugal, Italy, Germany......? I understand there is something called a "Green Card", that appears to be readily accessible if you live in Europe. Talked with several...

Agreed. Riding downtown, the bike is perfect. Light. Nimble. And leaves everyone standing at the lights. Plenty of power to 90kph, but does need patience after that. So great for the side-roads to Collingwood, or similar. Low seat height adds to the ease of use. There is NOTHING out there that...
