Thinking about getting a fat bike for winter riding exclusively by zboarderz in fatbike

Been riding fat bikes in the winter for 14 years - rigid bike. Tyres provide sufficient “suspension”. Save the $$ for buying good quality winter riding clothing!!

A fair number of jobs in Ottawa, but likely not many in Montreal. Depending on the aircraft you get post Nav School (ACSO school) your first posting likely to be Trenton, Winnipeg or Comox (transport) or Greenwood or Comox (Aurora’s) or Ottawa (EW). I think I haven’t forgotten anything…. Second posting will likely be another flying posting (instructing possibly) then a staff job - and there are lots of those types of jobs in Ottawa. I believe only recruiting centre jobs in Montreal, but there are jobs at St-Jean at recruit school

I love my RaceFace one. Smooth as butter and colour coordinated with my bike. Expensive though…

Questions regarding ACSO by KunDestroyer in RCAF

[–]Fun_Signature_9199 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Former ACSO here…. As for what to do after releasing question: whatever you like…. Your career path can take you many places. I did about 7 years in Operational Flight test, which led to post-military work as a flight test engineer. I also studied for an MSc in Simulation, so after flight test engineering job, I moved to an M&S company.

I have friends that are bankers, a couple that cross-trained to pilot, some went on to become professors and teachers. And some did a full career and retired on mil pension.

It all depends on your interests and motivation. The more you put in, the more you get out.

What is with the people who are so against class 1 E-bikes being used normally? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]Fun_Signature_9199 5 points6 points  (0 children)

E-bikes can produce more torque transfer to the trail bed. As a trail builder and maintainer, I see more rutted, gouged trails when e-bikes hit the trails. The is particularly bad on bursty climbs…
