I have two friends coming for a visit from Europe in summer, and they would prefer to rent a bike here, rather than going through the hassle of traveling with their bikes. Is it even possible to rent bikes suitable for longer distance riding?
Hello folks This is my first post and you'll have to bare with me. I'm 55 years old and started biking last year on a $100 supercycle bike. I feel in love with it and now i'd like to upgrade to better bike. I'm hoping to pick up a decent used bike, but i'm not sure what to get. I have seen a...

Can anyone recommend a reputable bike shop that provides servicing and repair in the Scarborough area? I know of D'ornellas, but I'm looking for alternatives. The closer to Kennedy Commons the better.
Hey fellas! So I just moved back home to Scarborough and spring is around the corner. I used to live in the middle of nowhere up north and I'd ride on minor highways with some interesting terrain for 40-50km nonstop. Come Scarborough. The number of street lights and obstructions in this city...
My first bike, which I got in 1974, was what they now call a "cruiser," but back then was just the kind of bike that boys liked. My second bike was a red Sekine 10-speed, and I rode that thing all over town. I saved up my paper route money and bought my third bike at Canadian Tire in 1982. It...
Anybody rode there? How are the roads?

Maby I didn't archive back far enough. That said: I'm intent on taking Greyhound/Grey lines up to Toronto for the March bike show. I tried mapquest and blown up maps of downtown toronto but I need basic to the point directions from the bus terminal to exhibition center. Is it walkable or does...
Just wondering whether any of you fellow eastern Canadians order your bike kit online and, if so, what sites you've had good luck with. Any Canadian based sites you're aware of? Thanks
I've been doing some research on electric horns/bells for my commuter bike. I'd like to find something that sounds more like a scooter or even a car horn (not as loud, just a similar type of sound) that the traditional bicycle bell. I've found that most of the horns sold on eBay are shipped...

I'm looking for tips on buying rollers in Toronto. I haven't seen any in the stores I've visited. Are there places that sell them? (and if anyone around here has rollers for sale, hit me up!)
Just curious if anyone else has experienced more close passes than usual since the NDP started getting all that press about their 3-foot proposal. I've experienced a small run of VERY close passes, a little more frequent than usual, and certainly a lot closer (I'm mostly thinking of the ones...

Spouse and I tried out the new Toronto trail along the Finch hydro corridor today, and it's quite fun. Eventually they plan a complete ring of trails around the city from the Humber to Scarborough -- I'm guessing it will be 80km or more when it's done, although there's a ways to go. It was pretty...

(Yes, I've been posting here a lot lately. Thank you for your help with my questions!) On the Via Rail bike trains, what are the restrictions on what kinds of bikes may be used? Will there be problems trying to bring a bike with front pannier on board?

Hi everyone, after moving to Montreal from Upstate NY I've pretty much depleted my Clif Bar supplies. They're basically my only fuel on most rides and therefore I consume a lot of them. Can anyone recommend a place to buy them for cheap, either at a store or online? Thanks, vgXhc
