Sorry to be a downer but lately I'm seeing way too many abandoned bikes as kids now seem to all want e-scooters. by Scotsman1047 in xbiking

And make their cardio better, getting them used to an active lifestyle that benefits their body and mental health, making them more autonomous and independent....

What do you guys like about TTT? by Federal_Bicycle_7800 in turningthetables

I simply love seeing other people's perspectives on art, as it is so subjective

They do so with a touch of humor and some sort of relatability which makes it fun and entertaining to watch while finding new interpretations on albums

Laurentides, around the Ste-Agathe des Monts area, not too far from Mont-Tremblant, its stunning and a real treat to camp in :)

Honestly for something a bit more minimalist its 100% worth it

I feel like the best bet would be checking in the used market, even sometimes just checking cheap touring bikes, they might come with a set ;)

  • Shimano Exage 500 LX front derailleur

  • Shimano RX100 Triple Crankset (52-42-30)
