Greetings from Canada
I'm new here, but an old hand in the bicycle world. 40 years of wrenching as both a shop owner and now hobbiest have given me great pleasure, especially when helping others. I especially enjoy diagnostics--that's the best part of these forums. I hang around a couple of other places too, but as I age the vintage world appeals.
I ride a single road bike and share our tandem with my wife whenever we can get out together.
Looking forward to chatting.

Sounds like you live in a great place to ride ... I have a friend who has a cottage near Bewdley and he swears by the butter tarts at Doo Doo's.

Your friend is right: the riding is very good here, and DooDoo's have the best butter tarts in all of Ontario---that's according to a juried panel that tasted hundreds of butter tarts!! I can see Bewdley from our dock, and ride through there all the time.
For the uninitiated, Bewdley and Bailieboro are at the west end of the sometimes famous Rice Lake.
