After thinking about my last ride, I thought a new seat might be in order. I stopped in to see Kurt at Liberty Bicycles in St. Catharines. Awesome guy. Been around since as long as I can remember, with a great passion for cycling and boosting cycling in Niagara. Kurt...
I have a Canada Day weekend tradition: go for a bike ride that is significantly longer than what I’ve done in the current season. Usually that means I’m not in appropriate shape for the ride. This year was no exception. All in all, it was a good ride. The...
Well, much to my surprise, the weather and schedule cooperated and I was able to get out for another ride. This time, I decided to ride the “mean streets” of St. Catharines to see what it’s like to ride in rush hour traffic. Aside from not being able...
First ride of the year. Just the “usual” starter ride – down Decew, up Beaverdams, Merrittville Hwy. up to Merritt Rd., then back down to Decew and back to the subdivision. Not a bad ride. Used gears. Didn’t die, but I sure as heck felt...
Well, the whole cycling thing fizzled last year. What a surprise. Apparently life can get in the way of cycling (or anything) if you don’t make it a priority, which honestly, it’s not. Family. Work. Kendo. Those are my priorities, and there’s plenty...

News flash: It’s incredibly easy to miss a day. Usually for seemingly good reasons. I last rode Saturday, which technically is last month. Sunday we were in transit. Monday was kendo at the JCCC and I didn’t want to have a hard workout in the morning. I...
In case you’re wondering what happened to Friday, no, it didn’t happen. I got home so late after Team Canada that I slept in. I was thinking of riding Friday evening, but too many errands got in the way. If I’d been less diligent about working, I...
