Leather = cow hide. Cows around here get rained on. 🌂

I have had the 2020 Fathom for a month. Love this bike. i live in quite a hilly area and my intention with an Ebike was to extend my rides and tackle steeper roads. That has happened. I am no longer intimidated by steep hills in my neighbour hood, some of which are up to 12% slope. i am not a...

i put a 27km ride on today with the new Brooks saddle. It was only one ride but already felt more comfortable that the basic Giant saddle that came stock with my bike. One obvious reason for that is the Brooks has a wider butt than the Giant in the order of 20mm wider. And as rigourous...

Mine arrived in less than a week. Must be a distributors warehouse here in western Canada.

My B17 Imperial arrived today. Unfortunately the tin of Proofide is on back order. So I applied the small sachet of Proofide to the top of the saddle and Kiwi brand Dubbin to the underside.

I just installed the Thule Tour Rack and the side panels on my hardtail Phantom yesterday. Although it is a hardtail there are no mounting points for a traditional rack. Today was supposed to be a test ride but I was distracted by a couple of other things. Hopefully tomorrow...

Alaskan: It appears you have both a Brooks saddle and Kinekt seat post on your Trek. That's a combination I am considering.

These courts would normally be filled with players, once it gets above 7C, but we have not even installed the nets yet. The end point of this ride is Sunoka Park on Okanagan Lake.

My wife has been playing tennis for the last 25 years. Last year I took some lessons and started plying down at the local club. The courts are about 5km away and with an elevation difference of ~250m. it seemed a waste to drive my pickup down to the club for a couple of hours of play but I...

what should we look for in GPS trackers?

Just ordered a Brooks B17 Imperial yesterday fro my Giant Phantom hard tail eBike. My LBS says their supplier has them in stock but Covid-19 is doing weird things to delivery schedules. I have had my Phantom for 3 weeks. I new that the relationship between my butt and the existing saddle...

Stephan: What is the doo-hickey on the left side of your bars with the red attachment? Grant

This photo appears to have been taken on one of the ~18 trestles on the Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) above Kelowna in British Columbia.

Not locked down yet, but not much open either. A silver lining: for the northern hemisphere, thank goodness this is happening in the spring not in the fall and entering the long dark days of winter. but undertaking the usual spring projects: cycling, cleaning up the workshop, cycling, yard...

I have a similar spreadsheet without voltage but tracking % battery before and after ride. I have only risen 240 km but I am starting to get a feel for battery range.

Dave: I like your overlay of your route on the topographic map. What is your process or apps that you use? Grant

sunday’s ride was out the front door and west. After about 10 km and 200m elevation change the pavement changes to a well maintained gravel road. lots of snow in the hills but now snow free in the valley.

I thought might share my ebike & CV-19 experience Here in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. winter 2019/2020: lots of internet shopping and YouTube watching. What kind of ebike do I want? What bells and whistles? LBS or internet purchase? Feb 29: visited LBS 1 for my first ever ebike...

Cyclemeter is an iOS app that has been around for many years. Records the usual data, time, distance, speed etc. I have previous rides stored on my phone since 2011. I ran it concurrently with RideControl to ensure that at least one app would work properly. My previous rides with...

Tried again today, while running concurrently with Cyclemeter which I have used since 2011. RideControl crashed again. I think I will set the app aside and limit it’s use to check the battery level at the end of my rides.
