My $0.02. To the OP - it sounds like you are in the market for what I would call a "compromise bike". In my personal, yet limited experience, that's a Hard Tail MTB (as recommended by others too). They are a bit cheaper yet still very capable and with judicious tweaking can be a great...

I'll see your mountain view with a telephone pole, and raise you one! :) From Puebla Mexico (in summer 2017). LINK to Volcano info Unfortunately no e-biking involved...would have been a great place to tour.

Yesterday's ride: I needed tp pick up a prescription at my pharmacy, which was a block from my old office, as well as a small package at MEC (like REI in US). It was going to be a hot day here at ~30C (we don't really do heat here) so headed out early. I have been playing around with the...

Have done that type of trip (Budapest to Amsterdam on Viking, and Bucharest to Budapest on Scenic ) and an e-bike trip is a fabulous way to spend the day. I found Prague obnoxiously crowded when I was there last (Oct 2019) but I imagine with a guide it would have been super. I did something...

Raspberries are finally here. Getting a bowl like this every two days. In ice cream, oatmeal, solo, in a glass of Prosecco... loving it.

If there's a local Giant dealer, their female focused brand "Liv" have bikes in XS sizing. I've a friend with an Amiti E+2 and she loves hers. Her husband has the equivalent model from Giant. The Yamaha motor is relatively quiet and with the battery out, would undoubtedly be less then 50 lbs...

Perimeter ride today up on my normal place - Nose Hill. Some flowy bits from the south end. Some bike posing pics: Looking east Looking south: And looking ... heck, I can't remember. Nice day, not too hot. Still enjoying my audiobook "The Glass Key". Yesterday was a longer ride...

Mine are, according to USPS tracking, are in a "Facility in Canada" ... whatever that means. Since they came from a facility in Los Angeles, I presume they didn't route to southern Ontario or some such nonsense, so I hope to have them soon. I am looking forward to trying them with my Shokz like...

A bit of gardening and foraging...this a quick pick from our patch in full sun. The other two areas are a little behind.

I do drive through on my bike!🤣

$4000 CDN Local (Calgary, Alberta) pickup preferred - I am only posting here in the off chance someone local see's this. Shipping is more effort than I want to do. But if someone from a nearby location (Saskatchewan, Alberta or BC, or a nearby US State) is interested, perhaps we work a...

I think my comment earlier was a pretty good indicator as to how I feel about living here. I have lived across most of Canada, and have worked in some pretty rough places in the 80's in Northern Alberta where guns (for hunting) are very prevalent. I have many friends who hunt, but I've never...

Although Hawkin's Cheezies are pretty freakin' awesome aren't they!

This thread makes me both sad and happy. Sad for those of you living in those environments and happy for where I get to live. This place (Calgary) ain't perfect, but it's pretty good.

It's legal not too far from you...a little north. CBD is often an effective alternative/adjunct for pharmaceuticals. I for one am an advocate - it helps to keep my arthritis to a manageable level. Unfortunately crossing the border is probably out of the question.

A few picks from the last week: I always like to see these, wherever I go. On Nose Hill in Calgary, just above the Calgary Winter Club. From the Weaselhead in SW Calgary. Busy guys are unfortunately undermining the shore to the right, and a bike path there is getting dangerously eroded. I...

Update: My wife tried them out. I am not getting them back...I guess I will have to make do with the Opencomm version for now. Those passed a critical test - my 93 mother is profoundly deaf (uses hearing aides of course) but I have had to be very picky on what phone or headset I try to talk to...

Exactly - The differences across all key measurements are very, very, similar. I wanted a shorter reach and I achieved that (I also changed to a Spank 40mm Riser bar). In regards to shorter legs , the LIV Standover is 7mm higher than the same sized Giant model. Bike Geometry Fathom Small...

Well, I DO ride a LIV... the Giant is for sale... But there's no way I would describe the Intrigue as "girly".
