    Would they be aluminum, stainless or mild steel?

    Wear all day riding pants

    My standard was Draggin Jeans and a mesh jacket, liner removed, plus gloves and Sidi boots. Rain gear and liner in side box. The jeans were OK walking around but felt a bit bulky after a while. The Sidi's were plain and OK for short walks but a pair of sneakers in the box made pedestrian mode...

    Changes coming July 1

    It looks like you're well covered. I haven't looked at the fine print but has the other obscenity been cancelled? I at one time had three bikes licensed and insured and would have signed a form 28 saying I was the only rider. I still had to have medical coverage for each bike and it's one of...

    Changes coming July 1

    It scares me when I see mentioned in fallen riders, life altering injuries. I could be the loss of a limb or spinal damage, para or quadriplegic. This could mean costly renovations to widen doorways, install lifts or ramps, special tubs or showers, vehicles plus maintaining those devices...

    Right peg, left peg?

    Left side for me. BTW I'm having problems with my bicycle. The seat is as low as it can be and I've lost the flexibility to swing my leg over the seat.

    COVID and the housing market

    It's also a burden to the medical field when they can't describe a symptom in English. Either call in an interpreter or send them to a veterinarian.

    COVID and the housing market

    Sad. With better Canadian focused social skills they could get jobs and fulfillment outside of the home. They could meet open minded people.

    I seemed to think the savings were in the 10% range so a couple of hundred dollars per year for many so a very small bag of groceries for many. The catch 22 is the hook bait is most tempting to those that that can't afford the risk. If you're about to retire, have a plump RRSP or RRIF, a paid...

    Portable Tire Inflators

    Mine worked every time until it didn't. That's the part that bothers me and it's not like the gear is visible and sitting in the open where, like a flat tire you notice right away. Metal gears would be good. Nylon could be good but going back to my model airplane days we learned that nylon...

    It looks like car insurance has some opt out choices available down the road but will they be available for bikes. https://www.ibc.ca/issues-and-advocacy/auto-insurance/ontario-auto-insurance-changes The worrisome part is some people may cut coverage and pay for it for the rest of their lives...

    Portable Tire Inflators

    This is a photo of a cheapie that failed on me. It failed because of internal stresses and that would have happened between uses. It would have worked one day and not the next. When the drive gear hit the gap, pumping stopped. I'm not a plastics engineer but being made in China for a price...

    COVID and the housing market

    My high school classmates were roughly 1/3 each Eastern European, Italian and Wasp. We constantly feuded with each other but if an outsider tried anything we were 100% United Nations and they backed off. A friend's wife has been in English speaking lands for over 20 years but has not embraced...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I read their revews The Cons: Common Complaints Mold & Trapped Moisture: Forum users strongly agree that using overlays (putting a new liner over an old tub) carries a high risk of trapping moisture, which can cause leaks and mold growth behind the new surfaces. [1] High Costs & Aggressive...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    Here's the problem. Illegal transportation has become so rampant our highways, streets, sidewalks and parks have become the wild wild west to the point illegal operations have integrated with our economies. Schools may not be convenient in new developments and school buses could be a heavy...

    Dealer Demo Ride: "If you break it, you buy it!"

    Write offs come out of profit but if a manufacturer is healthy enough the occasional hit shouldn't hurt too much. Dealers have smaller budgets. The factory might farm the repairs out to a dealer because factories run production lines far differently than a repair shop. Stopping a production...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    We were getting on a bicycle trail clearly signed “No Motorized Vehicles “ and saw a couple getting their e-bikes ready to roll so I mentioned the NMV sign. She indignantly replied “They’re electric “ Duh

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    While I an be a rules Nazi I can look the other way when parents are there teaching the kid cautions. Do we bust a three year old "Driving" a scaled down M-B electric plastic toy car on a sidewalk? This one has a parental remote

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    The “E” should cover any powered vehicle not covered by already licensed vehicle regulations. By separating e-scooters, mobility devices, stand up scoots, e bikes etc we are losing sight of the overall problem. A 51 year old man, on a riding mower was hit and killed near Kitchener. Common...
