And now we have 2 weather systems coming by this weekend. Glad I took my trike out to birds hill park before the last big snowfall

I took my e fatbike out before all the rain for a ride around Transcona. Lots of standing water everywhere. The Bio Reserve was great, much of the trail through it had mushy snow 3 to 4" deep. That was the most fun riding. And the transcona trail still had many stretches of 4" high snowbanks.

*waves hi* Another prairie girl here! Live outside the city, but tend to commute to work (when its not a downpour) and just for fun. Cheers!

Hello Geer, there are a few of us kicking around here. I think you'll enjoy your stay

Pinehurst

Winnipeg riders are a hardy lot.

I thought I'd write to ask if there is any interest in participating (primarily) as a vendor for a bike swap meet here in the ol' Peggeroo? It wouldn't cost any more than the rental of a space for a few hours, and most likely it would be free of charge. I have a place in mind in Cresentwood and the guy said the use of his parking lot would be fine.

If so, let me know. It's an idea I have been tossing around for a bit.

Indeed!

Welcome aboard there Geery

Howdy folks,

Another new arrival. Just relocated to Winnipeg from Toronto and I'm loving it here so far! It feels really warm and welcoming, and it seems to have a really solid community of cyclists. Sadly I couldn't bring my bike with me, so I'm in the market for a new one. I'm trying to find something used under 1000, so I've been looking at older road bikes as I want to start doing long rides outside of the city (route recommendations welcome!)

Also, any recommendations on how to find a bike here would be greatly appreciated! And if anyone knows a good coop or bike shop to hang, learn, and use tools let me know!

Also, how many of you actually bike through the winter? And what are you riding?

Cheers

Hello Sun, I think you can pickup a free bike route map at any Library. I think those maps don't cover anything outside the City though. As far as finding a bike, there are many options. The local classifieds are your best value bet.
