Road group rides and commuting in Nanaimo?
Hey all,
We are Canadian citizens currently living in the United States, but we are contemplating moving back to Canada- and Naniamo in particular. I was wondering if anyone from the area can comment on how bike commuting friendly the area is? I was also wondering how many road group rides exist in the area?
Thanks,
Brad
