Ace wheelbuild

The best LBS is often a more modest place, like The Bike Place. Louis built me a great set of wheels this summer, and recently did some work on the CrossCheck. He can order some great 'cross tires and will soon be getting me some TRP cantilever brakes. To boot, Louis is a former Ontario Junior Mens' Cyclocross champion (1983).

no-thing

On a good ride, the bike disappears. It is just the movement, alive, riding. There is no I, no bike, no mountain, no road or trail. Even though those elements remain.

Just riding

First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.
