You were out that day!

My coworkers think I'm a little off centre. Good for you.
My limit is -30. I really don't know how to dress after that and also, how does bike handle it.

Stay upright

Winnipeg, Canada

another 'toban here,
from winnipeg.

Talk to me.

what kind of riding does everybody do?

I am from Birds Hill area. I ride a recumbent trike mostly north of Wpg and Birds Hill Park. I also collect vintage and antique bikes.

anyone know any good routes and places to tour in manitoba

YO YO YO!!! I'll be riding the Pembina bike route, I'll be at the Forks tonight. I might also go out Poratge to the Perimeter and back down Roblin, down Wellington cres. Then home via Stafford/Pembina. If I'm late I'll just head out Portage, over the bridge into Assinaboine Park, then Stafford/Pembina home.

See you all out there. I'm the guy in the red jersey.

man i live right next to ass park snow canuck

Anyone ever cycled Winnipeg to St. Ambroise Beach Provincial Park? Looks like a nice short/long ride, about 80km one way.

Oh wow, Manitobans and Winnipeggers here. Insane!

I'm from Winnipeg. =)

where abouts in winnipeg?

Westdale. You?

st james near ass park

I'm in East River Heights, about a 15 minute ride from Ass park

Certainly not from here, but will be working in Brandon 2-3 weeks per month until November. Looking for a source for a used bike for that time frame. OR, I may just by a cheapy and sell or donate when I leave. Any suggestions out there. I will be flying in/out of Winnipeg, so I could look there for a source as well.

I'm living in Steinbach at the moment (not from there), and make frequent jaunts out to Sandilands. Someone was kind enough to create some fun-as-hell single-track out in the ecological reserve.

There is at least one decent bike shop in Brandon, maybe two. Did you get a bike yet?

Hello Manitobans!
Just moved to Morden, originally from Steinbach. I'm getting the feeling I'm going to want to get into the biking scene in this area (and the fact a co-worker runs a great little shop down here called Tinker Creek Cycle doesn't hurt.)
My wife and I are currently looking into buying a Chariot trailer for our 9-month old. We'd love to find a good used one, but not sure they exist. E-bay feels a bit dodgy for this sort of purchase. Any suggestions?

Hey from Winnipeg mennoscot ..

Have you tried looking in the local Buy and Sell ? ( www.buyandsell.ca) for a used bike trailer ?
