Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up getting outvoted in favour of a gift certificate.

But it was fun looking for various ideas. Cheers.

Oh, I like those!

Hi all, I'm looking for ideas for a cycling related retirement gift for someone who does not cycle.. I have a colleague who is retiring shortly. She's an extremely avid cycling fan, often travelling across the country (Montreal usually) to volunteer or watch the pro events each year. First one on si...

Thanks for the tips. Do you know if you have to get a referral to see a sports med doctor? I suppose I can call the clinic in the morning and answer that myself! I've been doing IMS with the shockwave and laser weekly treatments. Combined I get relief for a couple/three days and then the pain comes ...

Has anyone ever been diagnosed with trochanteric bursitis? If so, how long was your recovery? Any tips? My GP says no activity for 6 to 12 months. I'm at almost 4 months now and still in a fair amount of pain, despite numerous physio, shockwave and laser treatments.

Thanks for the responses. Still always surprised how few people post on this forum.

Tried on Assos Equipe today and was sold. Cheers.

Hey waverider. It would help to know... are you a boy or a girl? That might influence the replies you get. Y'know, since our chamois needs are somewhat gender dependent :wink: If girl, I'm quite liking the Jakroo chamois in some of the custom kits out there. Castelli is pretty nice too. Good luck! ...

Looking for recommendations. I've had great success with Giordana with overall fit, finish and longevity, but can't find that brand anymore in Victoria (Performance is no longer carrying them). Anyone have a tried and true favourite they love?

Can you send me a PM the next time you sell a bike Roland?

Frustrated with how high used bike prices are I decided to look at a few websites and search for my existing bike to gauge the used bike market. I paid $1,900 for a 2013 Cervelo R3. The cheapest I could find, for a USED 2013 R3 was $2,100. :shock: Used! The most expensive was $2,800. Admittedly, I g...

For commuting I switched to sling packs (http://www.mec.ca/product/5032-790/mec-left-hand-pod-sling-pack-unisex/?f=10+50607) and found them to be much more comfortable so long as you don't need to take a lot. I keep my shoes and pants at work and easily fit in a work shirt, socks, lunch, a few bike ...

Family of four and I'd like to outfit the other 3 with road bikes to join me on mine (for family weekend rides to start). They're all keen. And beginners wrt to road bikes. What sort of price range should I look to pay for the following? Adult female road bike 14 yrs youth road bike - male 11 yrs yo...

Does anyone know if there are other yard sales put on throughout the year?

Hi Craig,

Sorry, was out of town for a few days. Unfortunately (fortunately?) I ended up buying a set of rollers a few days later. Got too anxious about sitting around I guess. Thanks though, much appreciated!

Geoff

I'd also consider a roller. Hard to compete with the jr. rental request right now, but still hoping..

Wanted to Buy or Rent - good quality trainer

Badly injured shoulder and the bumps and jars of the road are just not working. If you have a good trainer that I can rent or buy please let me know with price. Thanks.

Geoff

Oh sorry, Geoff here. I rode a lot with the Sunday group last summer and fall, but haven't been out this year due to scheduling conflict and injury. I was the guy who rode for a bit on the hybrid before switching to a road bike. And have been to your house Barton to pick up a purchased mud flap! Che...

My wife is interested in road riding, having never done it before. But before investing in a bike and all the gear, she'd like to try it out over a period of a few weeks first. Any suggestions? Can you rent from the local bike shops for that long? Is there anyone who has a second (or third or fourth...

Bit of a newbie here...what are the road conditions like in the early morning and with these current cold conditions? Is there much frost / black ice to be concerned with? I can't make it tomorrow, but was planning on riding early on Monday.

Update - found a silver set at North Park. Last they had of either colour. Fortunately I have a silver bike so I'll even be styling too! Thanks everyone.
