bikes

I’m another one of those periods again where some of my sporting gear is wearing out. Most of that nice, quality bike stuff that I bought 16 years ago is slowly being replaced.

This Saturday I demo’d a new mtb, Norco’s Fluid LT. Since most of the rides close to home are on the North Shore, I am interested in getting more of an All Mountain bike that works well there.

I was speaking with some staff at a bike shop a few days ago and noticed that there was a petition regarding a provincial sales tax that bike shops have to pay.

No, I’m not referring to some amazingly trumped US army attack in Iraq. What I’m talking about is much more real.

Roger, Richard and myself went for a ride up to Burnaby mountain this morning. It was a great day for riding, it was sunny and mildly warm.

We went to Vancouver Yamaha on Saturday to see what’s what with the repair and bill to date. Things were fairly positive with shop, although I’m still going to be out a lot of money.

Okay peeps, I’m looking for some advice. All you armchair lawyers, or people that play lawyers on tv, please chime in.

I’ve had this bike for about 8 or 9 months now. So far I’ve primarily used it for commuting, which was my intended use.
