    vehicles passing on the right in my own lane

    Same thing in Ancaster, only for me, I'm intending to go straight and leave enough room for someone to turn right. Twice now I've had someone pull up beside me and go through the intersection with me, as though there was a 3rd lane. Quite unnerving the first time it happened. Second time I just...

    Rashes from Helmet?

    What brand is your helmet? If it lists "antimicrobial fabric lining" then there's Silver in the fabric. In your case this is not the ideal silver lining ;)

    laying here at 3am, cant sleep...could have been killed

    OP, Wow, that sounds so familiar. I went down in a round-a-bout in Ancaster. A young driver arrived in the round-a-bout, then noticed I was already in it! I managed to get around the front of her but front tire lost traction and I ended up lying on the ground under my bike with my left foot...

    If only our legislators were as enlightened as this one!

    Interesting. Don't expect our Gov't to adopt any of these ideas. "common Sense" was legislated out of our gov't decades ago

    Need some advice on trailer stuff

    I picked up one of these, it's a Kendon clone. This one was a little rough and required a new wiring harness and safety chains as I didn't trust the cable that came provided. Total cost is roughly double the OP's link. The low floor makes loading pretty easy and since the trailer weighs about...

    New rider gear opinion

    I have a 5 km commute and ride pretty much March through December. That distance isn't long enough to get really uncomfortable any time of the year. I have a collection of jackets, Leather from leather up, Icon Contra textile, Teknic Textile (They are out of business now) and "Ribe" mesh for...

    Cheap wireless com system for rider passenger

    Same here. We love them. Definitely worth getting them fixed, especially when it's a cheap battery! Cool about Canada Robotix, I just checked them out. If I find myself needing replacement batteries again, I'll know where to get them closer to home. Many thanks!

    Cheap wireless com system for rider passenger

    Thought I'd chime in. My wife and I have the Sena SMH-5 which we use for bike to bike comm for the past 3 seasons. They are sufficiently loud enough for our needs and since we only use them to talk, the dynamic range works well higher frequencies seem able to penetrate wind noise better. They...
