How far is your commute? Mine is about 7k, flat, and in slow urban traffic with bike lanes most of the way. I wear suits. I started with a drop bar single speed and have wound up with a Masi...

If this was in Ontario, you got screwed. The speeding offence only applies to motor vehicles:

Can't speak to the triton, but someone else mentioned the paddy wagon as an option. I just switched from a kona paddy wagon to a masi commuter, and I think it's been an improvement. Here's why:

Last time I checked, being obnoxious isn't illegal. So how is it not an abuse of power when the police detain you when you haven't broken the law? You'll notice that nowhere in the video do the...

And here I was thinking that all 'yall south of the border enjoyed some civil liberties that we did not. Up here, you don't have to identify yourself unless an officer has reasonable grounds to...

I'm not convinced that it's the first - seems like a few manufacturers are taking advantage.

Well, it looks like the second link is down, so the choice might have been made for you.

2km will be a nice short ride, but you might find that you start to use it for longer trips. I haven't...

2) not worrying about getting sweaty

Hi Everyone,

I need to get out to York University next weekend from Dupont and Dovercourt.

Checked out some routes on ridethecity.com/toronto, and they all involve a leg on Keele St.

I've only used a b17 and the factory saddle that came on my bike. The b17 was a lot more comfortable for me, especially after it broke in.

I think a big part of it is style - I think they look...

The only place that I know is velocolour. It looks like they do lovely work, but at a price.

Three questions really, my fellow clydes:

1. How long does a bottom bracket normally last?
2. Do they have a shorter lifespan when ridden by us heavier folks?
3. If so, can anyone recommend a...

I bike in in my suit pants and shirt, but will switch to shorts once it warms up a little more. Here's what I do:

I went through something similar with mine - I installed riser bars from a dew.

I had some problems with hand numbness, but then replaced the grips with ergo grips and haven't had any problems...

My wife and I bought our first bikes at Sweet Pete's last summer. We were total noobs, and we had a very good experience - we took up a lot of their time and they were patient with us and explained...

I have this rack as well; I was able to wiggle the rear hub out by unbolting one of the arms and working the hub out slowly - definitely a pain, but doable roadside with wrench and multitool.

I had it hooked on the back of my bike rack. It was so fed up with being crowded by traffic that it leaped from the back of the rack to its death on the pavement down below.

At least, that's my...

I was in mec in Toronto today to replace my superflash, which committed suicide earlier this month.

Instead of gear and bike parts they now have bikes. (They still have some gear and bike...

I installed a similar set of pedals - Mec "RnC" pedals - on my bike, and I love them. They are very comfortable and I feel like I have a lot more traction on them.

Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a kona paddy wagon for commuting and recreation in Toronto. I've been commuting two or three times a week, and hope to do so five days a week when I start my new...
