ah Summerland, that is quite the drop down to the lake, ( your e-bike will certainly help getting back up) imo Summerland has the friendliest wineries of the Okanagon Valley at the best prices, hmm, a "bottle neck wine tour on e-bikes"

actually a good reminder for all of us, riding in an area nobody is around I have been ignoring my helmet and gloves - what could go wrong? oh soft shoulders, gravel pile and on and on, thinking about the walker - often they will move to right so we can pass on left - I also think about walking...

exactly, I should have mentioned that, last year the better half dropped me off at top of Kelowna and I pedalled to Penticton across the trestles on KVR and slight decline all the way where she picked me up in Narramata, pedal 70 km then sample the wineries - perfect day

5 days into isolation from our return from Cook Islands to Canada, our biggest concerns were the Los Angeles and Vancouver airports contrary to what we expected little screening of passengers so time will tell on this one, logged lots of miles in Rarotonga, feel I know every corner and dog on...

Stefan - I keep coming back to this picture, flippin amazing to me, looks like the cockpit of a modern jet, I wear my old garmin on wrist for Strava and smart phone stuck in pocket for Mission Control, can't even tell what gear I am in on the Turbo Levo (all by feel)

we enjoy spending a month camping and riding the trails in the Okanagon , CVR trails across trestles and such a lot of fun particularly during the quieter Fall months, stay safe and enjoy that Giant Phantom

after a month away to the Cook Islands nice to come home and view your posts, David, something always relaxing and calming about them - just what is needed after wondering if we were going to get home after Australia and New Zealand closed borders and rumours the Yanks were not going to let us...

I look forward to your awe inspiring pics of downunder from our chilly climate in Canada but now look forward to our visit tomorrow to at least your part of the hemisphere in the Cook Islands, we have electric bikes rented for the entire month and after recuperating from the 24 hour travel hope...

great posts Stefan, congrats on dropping those pounds, a previous post of yours had a picture of 3000 cals used up on your ride, that has to help, your plan to eat a paczkki (or two) is similar to mine to work for an ale (or two) - I grew up in the mountains of a coal mining community (Crowsnest...

whoa, Browneye you are on a roll tonight, your advice to me in the Fall worked well for me (try them all) when I was looking at the big 3 in North America, after trying out all 3 the levo-comp jumped out for me, and today I pedalled the 1000 km in 2 and a half months and I still can't wipe that...

our recent holiday to the Algarve in Portugal, look carefully at the feet of the boys enjoying their brew, they pedal to move their party mobile (not sure that counts for the calorie counter)- 2nd picture of my knee scooter, would rather have had my e-bike but that scooter put on a lot of...

if you have to have a break down you lucked out on location, after yesterday's post left us hanging I thought the worst and quickly checked this morning to read the sequel, hope repair is quick as I enjoy following your near everyday photo and often quick history lesson, kind of makes me want to...

final ride of year started with a gentle snowfall but turned into quite the blizzard before finishing, oh well, the Kootenay Ale tasted all that much better when eyelids thawed out, great week riding in the Canadian Purcell mountains in south eastern British Columbia, didn't see another biker...

interesting thread, my first e-bike (turbo Levo) has me wanting to ride every day (minus 15 to 20 celcius now in Western Canada) and now that I am mostly retired I can do that, my regular mtn bike would have been tucked away for the season by now, the biggest thing is the wind, actually a slight...

so while bragging up my bike to family in Cochrane they responded by saying her and husband just bought Giant e-Trance bikes, while on my first big trip out in minus 10 and snow today I am absolutely hooked, so much fun except tomorrow wearing mitts instead of gloves and a warmer toque, anyways...

picked up new specialized levo comp this afternoon good to go once this snow melts a bit more, just couldn't get the bike muddy on the first day, but there is always tomorrow for it's maiden voyage, hope the battery likes a cold climate

Hi - we also are in the market for e-bikes in Canada (Alberta) - our local bike shop was able to find a somewhat dry area and hill for me to try out the specialized, giant and trek - for me, the specialized just jumped to the front, it was so quiet didn't even know I was pedalling an electric...

thanks for the encouragement, I totally get it, retire and have all the time to follow the news and depressing, rather pedal, feel the wind and alive, and yeah, being a kid all over again is a great way to put it, the wife is not at all interested in my mountain biking part but will enjoy...

hey Mike - thanks for the feedback, and the steer to the emountain bike forum , wow, lots of info there
