This is one of the projects that Hans and I designed and built in the very early 1990's, I am most proud of. "The Flying T Square". In 1993 Graeme Obree broke the World Hour Record on a track bike with a similar design. I feel we may have been designing this about the same time. I like to think ours was first, but I am sure he took a while designing his, before his bike was all over the news, so let's say at the same time ! haha The down

Getting my Jones ready for another Cuban bike adventure. My partner this year is Steve Sachro who has never been in a tropical clime so this will be super exciting for both of us. Cuba is my favourite cycling destination for many reasons. The cycling culture is very strong by necessity. By comparison in Canada there are 80 vehicles per 100 person and in Cuba there are two. Bikes, rickshaws, horse and buggy, beat up buses and pedestrians account

Anyone remember old-school BMX @ Strathclair? I do :) A little story to follow the pictured Sault Star clipping from 1987 (or 1988, can't quite remember how the seasons worked): My rival and I eventually arrived in Ajax & Newmarket later that year to do battle at the provincials. IIRC, when all was said and done, Brad ended up first overall and I second (I've got the number plate to prove it!) in our age & class. We weren't the only

I got out on the Red Pine for a quick ride with the dog this morning. Amazing job by the volunteers who are keeping up with Mother Nature this year!

I hate getting political, but I spent the better part of today ( realistically the past few months) listening to CBC news, talking about trade (or what Mr. Trump wants, no trade whatsoever, with the rest of the world). So please consider your next bicycle, or component, purchase. Think about Rocky Mountain, from BC, that is currently in receivership, compared to US companies such as Specialized, Trek, SRAM, etc., who dominate the market. Think

When Andre Riopel moved to the Sault for his first job after graduating, he did it by bike. It was a 700-km trek and he rested by sleeping in a bicycle sack under a picnic table. Fast-forward a few decades, and he’s still blazing his own trail. He joined SPACES as a Day 1 host, signing up before this platform existed. We’re lucky to have him on our roster. Thank you Andre, for keeping the Cycling space informative and inspiring. (His

Enough with the nonsense. I switched my Netflix to CBC gem and now getting away from FB. It’s quite refreshing to watch Canadian content. Next is Amazon prime. Support local social media like Spaces and say no to FB Instagram and the rest. Stop being abused by Zuckerberg and his ilk.

This is a VERY special bike. This was a bike I lusted over when I first started riding seriously. This Cinelli dates from the late 1960's, or perhaps 1970. Determining the actual age of this model is very difficult, as there is minimal surviving marketing material, or solid dates when features were changed. They often appear older than they are due to the more traditional components like that cottered crank and centrepull brakes. This

Majorca .... about to climb what's in front of me ! What was I thinking ???? Those that know me understand. Let's just say I am not fond of climbing, especially 1400 metres, of lack of fondness ! Not to mention. it was snowing up there.
