My name is Paul, and I ride!

Been riding since I was 8 years old, except for about 8-10 years when I was in my 20's I'm 47 right now. My bikes are usually completely rebuilt to suit my needs. I enjoy wrenching on them as much as riding them. I have probably owned more than 50 bikes over the years. I'm down to about 7 right now.

My name is Mark, I live just south of Canadas capital city. My ride is a 2010 Trek 4500, it's not the best but I have some upgrades planned. Since returning to the sport I have only been riding in Kanata Lakes trails near Ottawa. I hope to try a couple new trails nearby this coming season as well as maybe a trip to Vermont.

Hello fellow cycle fiends.

My name's Mike. I'm from Vancouver, Canada but ATM I'm living in China and have been living here for the past three years.

I ride this:

It's my commuter and my touring bike and I'm planning a cross China tour for spring of next year. I'll be fitting it out with a rear rack and a set of fenders but I'm going to keep the bike set-up as it is.

Old School to New Wave

Time to put the DBack on a slow ride to the trailer park in the hands of a local teenager. Me I am rocking a new 29er that I swore I would never buy. 29er for a bike, that is a fad, no legs, like the hula hoop.

So I rode one and got hooked.

Dave - And I ride all of these...

Litespeed Pisgah. Used to be my Race Bike.

Cervelo R2.5 with Record.

Pinarello Prince, also Record.

This one is really my "expedition bike" it's been every where, I do my URBAN expeditions on a Kona Jake the Snake that I havent taken pics of in a while.
This is an Older Fisher Zigguratt with an XT/XTR mix that I like A LOT. Though I am now lusting after a Specialized FSR 29er that will be mine...ohh yes...it will be mine....

Until recently, my kids didnt think of my trucks as anything more than a method of carrying my bicycles to places to ride.

Just a little note, December 23rd, some jack**** stole my Ziggurat off my rack, right in front of my house.

Lock your stuff folks, with big ugly heavy chains. And always have ammunition ready.

 

[Cackalak Han]

Looks like it was a nice '99 (?) Ziggurat. I had a 98 Big Sur that was stolen out of my storage. I loved that bike....
