Sorry to hear about your experience but you’re apt to discover that bikes purchased either online or at a LBS from any of the major manufacturers won’t include pedals regardless of what is stated. I think that most enthusiasts would rather purchase their own aftermarket pedals. Purchasing from a...

Today’s 52km ride started out along the C & E Trail which used to be part of the main corridor where people would travel between Forts Edmonton and Calgary dating back to more than a century ago. The surrounding area is likely a far cry from those bygone days when horse driven carriages...

I plead no contest as Rab has set the bar high when it comes to epic landscapes not to mention what he achieves in terms of distance and elevation. Rarely do we stop and eat but, on this occasion, the menu was too tantalizing to resist indulging over a decadent snack. We spotted a couple...

Today’s 41km ride would involve the missus and I taking a different route as a section of road that we normally ride was undergoing major repairs. It now appears that we may not have access to that road until sometime next month. We decided instead on a route that would take us a bit further...

Yesterday morning our trio rode a full complement of local singles totaling 31km starting out at the Gnome and finishing up at Heritage Ranch. We even crossed paths with some equestrian enthusiasts. Trails were in awesome condition making for fun, expeditious runs. Beaver logjam...

A goat’s life: Chew, bleat, repeat 🐐 Rode out last week to check on our two Piper Creek community garden plots that we rent from the municipality which contracts a local herder to use their goats to manage invasive weed species on the adjacent parcel of land.

Now that July has come to a close, the summer season is continuing through August, with more hot and sunny weather predicted. It’s definitely been an interesting summer if we think about how cool and moist we were for portions of May and June, followed by turning the heat on suddenly through the...

It was another gorgeous day out for a ride despite strong winds gusting out of the north. The missus has been off the bike for over a week due to a sore back. Being this was only her second ride since the injury, she’s brought down the intensity of her rides not wanting to place any further...

Care to elaborate?

I took to the local trails this morning with a buddy of mine. We were greeted with perfect weather resulting in clear skies combined with a cool breeze to combat the rapidly rising temps. It’s easy to lose your way along this section where the sedge grass is especially tall.

I envy your commute and that view of Rainier is sublime. I finished the month off with about the same kms/miles logged but about 4x less in elevation. I guess that's what I get for living on the flatlands. 😄 A mélange of golden green beards. This field of wheat is starting to ripen and will...

Yes, I was aware of that. ;)

Speaking of bars, these ergo ones caught my eye. Pretty outstanding review coming from a physiotherapist and pro bike fitter. However, all of that engineered efficiency does come at a cost.

Sounds like you've done your homework and hope that whatever you end up with will live up to your expectations.

The price point of the Spectral and significant savings that you would reap make it hard to ignore. That being said, you'll have the backing and support of a dealer network which will provide you with peace of mind.

I don’t leave the house without mine. It’s a top-notch piece of kit that anyone should consider if they ride where there’s any considerable amount of vehicular traffic. My daily route involves travelling along rural roads and, at times, secondary highways so I value the Varia’s familiar audible...

Bill, the missus informs me that it’s a hybrid Clematis. The skies have been clear for about a week now so we have to make the most of it until conditions change. Put it this way, smoke from the wild fires is nothing compared to what it must feel like when told that you’ve lost your home. Your...

BTW @dynamic, have you tried using Norco’s Ride Aligned setup guide? You select the model, input your rider profile and ride position and the guide calculates the recommended bike, fork, and shock settings for you. You can even modify the setup by altering the suspension, grip and trail type...

A 46 km ride this morning and this is all I have to show for it. :rolleyes:

I came close to pulling the trigger on a Canyon Lux Trail CF 9 but was able to demo ride the Epic Evo plus it was cheaper when all was said and done. I obtained the GX tranny at an unbelievable price and sold the stock SRAM groupset on Pinkbike for what I had asked for. That being said, I...
