Hi cyclaw! Welcome to the forums. You'll enjoy your time here. And prepare to get hooked. You'll be checking these forums every day, sometimes 3, 4, 5 times a day. Heck, you might even leave the window open while you work. Not that I've ever done that. No, not me.
I grew up in Ottawa. I commuted by bike from Orleans to downtown, and then from Orleans to Nepean for a few years. I even worked a bit as a bike messenger one summer. I currently live in the Poconos here in Northeastern Pennsylvania as my search for work brought me stateside.
You can usually find me in the singlespeed/fixed gear forum and sometimes the folder forum. But with my latest acquisition of a BMX bike, I'm now in the BMX forum.
Enjoy your time here!
