Introductions - Frosty Ontario

Hi Riders, bikes are fun eh?

Tell us more about your self. What kind of bike do you ride? What kind of riding do you do? Are you in an urban area, or in the country/smalll town? Road bike, mountain bike, or hybrid? Meet any moose on your bike rides,eh?

I decided to buy a Litespeed Vortex while I still have good legs, I ride around 10,000 km a year and am lucky enough to live within riding distance to the Niagara Escarpment cuz I like to climb.
Ive never seen a Moose on a ride chicharron, but I have been hit by a Bobcat.
How about yourself? I bet youve cought some nice tailwinds in tornado alley...eh?

Meet any moose on your bike rides,eh?
Sorry, but you won't see any moose near the Niagara Escarpment, (lots of deer though) you have to go at least a few hundred miles north to see them. I saw one on a camping trip near timmins as well as lots of bear skat, thankfully did not run into the bear.

By the way I live near the escarpement too!

We get more ice storms around here than tornados. (although we've had some deadly tornados in the spring) People hit a lot of deer on the highways in the suburbs and outlaying areas, believe it or not. I do a lot of riding back and forth to work, and on some urban bike trails. There is a trail that is marked that goes through down town Kansas City that takes you down to the Missouri river and to a paved bike trail along the river front park.Its about a ten mile ride each way. I ride a Fuji 21 speed hybrid.

HI guys, spend some time in fenwick 18 years ago ( i was 18 then, which makes me now aaaa lets see..). Fenwick is where steve.... dang! cant remember his last name!!! lives. (or at least in the neighbourhood) Not that it matters but it is a fact. Anyone knows what steve i'm talking about? make sure you dont get hit by 'the maid in the mist'...how high are those hills around niagara falls? BIKE ON!! a bientot

I've seen moose in Algonquin Park and during my Round Lake Huron tour I came within 30 feet of a bear crossing the road. We looked at each other, I waved and we both kept going as fast as we could!

I am not from Ontario, but I did visit Monteral earlier this year. I fell in love with the bike-friendly city. Vintaged bikes were everywhere. I particularly loved the ride along the canal. I did not bring my bike, but I rented one for a couple of hours and haul :p ed my 6 year old son along.

Greeting all. I am a newbie here. There seem to be an awful lot of you to get to know but I think I am up to the task.

Seasons Greetings!
