I'm wondering anyone rode the 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer last year. What should I expect for flat land cruising speeds and how steep was the steepest hill encountered last year? Thanks, Victor
Is there anyone out there?
I'll be riding from the SE near Barlow/Glenmore towards Banff on the Trans-Canada, I'm wondering what roads I should stay on. Barlow is somewhat bicycle-friendly (shoulder), isn't it ? I'm not too familiar with the bike path network in Calgary, which is why I'm asking if I can stick to the...
Hi we are a group planning to ride the following route through BC and Alberta without a support crew. Does anyone know if any parts are not rideable or any other local advice would be great thanks. Gas Town (Sea Bus) Whistler Whistler Blackwater Lake Blackwater applespring area applespring...
Hey everyone, I'm gonna be getting my first road bike pretty soon and I've had my eye on the Cannondale CAAD10. I'll test ride a bunch of bikes and see what I like best but if anyone knows any good bike shops in the vancouver/greater vancouver area that carries Cannondales and would be a pretty...
Hi, I live on the sunshine coast where the road crews love putting salt and deicing goo on the roads whether it is needed or not making a fine mess of bicycles. Am considering a move to Victoria regional area, but would like to know if it's a problem. Of course it's necessary when there is ice,...
Good day, I am considering this route around Okanagan Lake for our annual cycling trip in 2012 http://ridewithgps.com/routes/857863 With a start in Osoyoos this route lends itself to two nights in Kelowna. Do any cyclists have recommendations for lodging in Kelowna. We we be a group of...
In May I'm planning a tour from Victoria, BC to Port Hardy. Anyone have a route suggestion. Is it possible to take side roads that parallel the main highway ( which looks busy ). Any other suggestions? Rain gear of course :)
I'll begin with introducing myself shortly, I'm Patrik, a young highschool boy from Helsinki, Finland, I compete in tennis as well as I cycle. Well anyway, next summer me and my friend were planning on traveling to BC, mainly 'cause of Whistler bike park but also 'cause I've heard there are...

To make a long story short, I'm going to be cycling from Nanaimo, BC to Tsawwassen, BC. The easy option is to bike to Duke Point Ferry terminal (about 40k) take the ferry, and then bike in. But the Duke Point Ferry terminal is closed, so the ferry I'd take is running out of Departure Bay now,...
I plan to cross Canada next summer and will use Highway 3 in BC and Alberta to Medicine Hat. From there I am looking at either Highway 1 or a combination of Highways 13 and 2 to cross to Winnipeg. I know that the TCH will be quite busy but I am used to that kind of riding. I am more concerned...
Saw this on Facebook: Momentum Magazine - for people who ride bikes We're looking for a web reviewer for a CycleAware mirror. The reviewer must have a bike with straight or mountain bike-style handlebars (not swept back or road style). The reviewer can keep the mirror, which is available for...
Hey, looking for Vancouver Bikers. Any of y'all use this board?
Anyone know of any stores that carry Bianchi road bikes or can order them? I'm interested in getting the 2011 Imola bike. I've did a search, but can't find any dealers here. Bianchi canada site doesn't really help either.
Didn't see one, so I'm starting it. Is there a lobbying process for getting bike paths built/maintained/extended etc.? For example, getting from the southside to the westside via whitemud. There seems to be bike paths that follow this corridor on the north side of the whitemud, but they...
Hi all, I have just recently moved to New Westminster BC from Asia and am looking for Road rides with clubs or individuals connecting with New Westminster or Burnaby. I'm based on the dividing line of New Westminster & Burnaby (10th Ave). Preference is AM Weekly and Weekend rides but main...
So, in Saskatoon many of our sidewalks in areas of the city with dense foot traffic have "Walk Your Bike" signs painted on the sidewalks. I was riding near Broadway Ave a number of weeks back, when I spotted an interesting variant of this - Walk your children. I had a good chuckle when I saw that...
Hi All, I am wondering if anyone here would know if there are paved bike trails in Canmore and Banff? I will have 4 kids with me between 12 and 5. The five year old still has training wheels. Are there paved bike trails that we could use in Canmore or Banff that would be fun to ride, or have a fun...
Cycled Calgary - Vancouver many years ago via Lake Louise/Golden/Revelstoke and it was a great trip. Have the chance to do it again, but this time I want to do a more southerly route, so need some help deciding if I should head south over the Crowsnest pass to Cranbrook/Van or go Banff/Radium...
Hey Thinking about doing an overnight camping trip and wondering if anyone has advise on their favorite camping spots within 100km of Calgary. Thanks. Sean
Hi all, Last week I made the move from Fredericton to New Westminster for my wife's kick-ass job. The problem is, I feel completely overwhelmed here. It's not the traffic - I'm fine with biking in the streets, but I feel like I have no way of getting out of the city to find some 'open' road. I...
Does anyone have any recommendations for cyclocross training areas/trails in the lower mainland, preferably in the Fraser Valley? I've been to the Delta watershed, which is decent, but looking for other ideas. Thanks
I am little late in posting this reminder but wanted people to know that on Sunday, September the 11th we will be staging the 5th annual Tour de Perogy. Many people booked heir calendar for this last year as it is such a fun ride. This is a sociable ride that goes from Edmonton to the Ukrainian...

Anybody know of a Canadian mail order bike part place. Or at least one that doesn't have ridiculous shipping costs to Canada?
I will be taking the Tour Divide from Denver up to Banff in a couple days and was thinking about adding to the trip if I have the time. I would like to stay on dirt as much as possible. Some routes that I have seen others take: HWY 93 north to HWY 16, west on HWY 16 to HWY 5, HWY 5 south A...
What do you consider to be the best areas for true mt biking in the western part of Canada. I am talking more of the XC mtb type , areas with good trail that not meaning dirt roads, but good all round biking areas? like to hear your top 3 locations and why you like them
Hi, I'd like to do the galloping goose, and my husband really wants to do it. But where to stay that isn't expensive, cheezy, doilly covered etc..? I am not up for camping which may sound silly, but I never ever ever can sleep when camping so end up feeling terrible which equals no fun. I know...

Has anyone cycled from the Langdale ferry terminal to Roberts Creek? I'm a senior relearning my cycling skills. What are the roads like? Are there wide shoulders? Is there a bike trail? How long does the trip take? What is the terrain like? Is there a good hostel or campground half way? Any...
I'm thinking second hand, since I'm new to this and if I really like it I can upgrade in a few years. Know of any LBS that have a good selection of safe second-hand road/comfort bikes at a decent price? No reason why I can't commute besides the fact I find traffic somewhat scary. Any...
Hi all, I'm in Calgary, although don't mind using mail order, I'm really looking for an Allez 60cm road bike. Anyone know of any dealers, or I guess private sellers, who would sell these? Thanks Stu

Hey all- is anyone getting out to Crankworx? I'm in the states, but hoping to get up there. Saw some amazing videos on You Tube!
Hey guys, Who's your favourite LBS in Sask and why? I'm interested in finding out what you think about shops around the province. (Also I'm curious to see how many Saskies are in this forum.) I strongly recommend City Park Cycle in Saskatoon - everyone gets treated equally regardless of how...
Hi Everyone, where would I be able to find a used kids sized road bike? My son and daughter both want to try one out but I don't want to spend too much. Would the bicycle commuters society have small bikes like that? Thanks.
Hello, I was wondering where I could go to in Edmonton for the cheapest bike repairs. Thanks! :)
It'll probably be the Versus coverage and pq should be good, the only downside i can see is that TSN seems to be quite rigid about their commercial spots...you see it in their Grand Prix coverage...most exciting part of the race? doesn't matter...commercial break! Hopefully it won't be CAVENDISH...
I was just wondering if any of you had any tactics for watching various pro races on TV (or streaming for that matter) in the Vancouver area. From what I can tell, Versus in the US has a fairly good lineup but that's not available up here. There are a couple of streaming sites in Europe that...
I am arriving on a ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria (soft of downtown, I think). And I am bicycling tot he Thetis Lake Campground. Can someone suggest a route to the campground that's not too busy with traffic. I have a map of Victoria, but is difficult to tell which streets should be avoided...
Wondering if anyone has done the road loop from Sooke to Port Renfrew and then over to Lk Cowichan??....The road is paved now, even though it is rough pavement..I would like to do self supported tour in the spring / summer, .... Any ideas always welcome..
Is anyone here planning on riding the Tour De l'Alberta on 25 July?
Good article...I myself am one of the ones that have recently purchased a bike and getting into cycling. http://www.timescolonist.com/travel/Cycling+booming+capital+region+part+wave+includes+Tour+Victoria/4824262/story.html
Has anyone out there any recent experience in cycling Highway 51 in Sask? It is one potential route for me across the province on a planned Cross Canada trip. If it is not very good are there other potential cross province routes nearby. Please not the TCH or Highway 16. If Hwy 51 works are Hwy...
Hello all, In an extremely encouraging development, my girlfriend (who lives in Edmonton) has decided she'd like to get a bike for the summer, after not riding for many years. Since I'm in NW Washington state, I can't easily walk her through finding something quality in town. I'm inclined to...
I know I'm dreaming, but what if all the triker's in Canada got together....I'm sure the number of trike's couldn't be anywhere near some the TOT's they get in the states. BUT....a close 2nd, maybe 3rd (there's Europe too)....... What a thrill it would be....I nominate Vancouver as great place to...
I've just started riding again and I find Surrey is an extremely boring place to ride so far. I typically get around 13km and get sick of the surroundings. I don't really find traffic a problem, though some of our side streets need to see a sweeper come through on the shoulders. I have plotted...
I just want to write about terrible experience with JVbikes of Vancouver. After issuing emailing invoice to me Janko store manager increased amount to pay after I arrived to shop. He forgot that to add something accesories to my invoice and emailed me invoice. How can you have invoice issued by...
Hey everyone, My girlfriend and I are planning a cross Canada tour this summer. We will be leaving Vancouver on May 4th and heading east. I just had a few quick questions about the trip that I can't seem to find answers to anywhere else. First, since we are leaving pretty early in May we are...
