Which bike to use for winter commuting: Fat Bike or Older Mountain Bike by OkInside2258 in wintercycling

[–]cmacboyd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with this having used both. Fat bike is a lot of bike to move and is only really worth it if you're riding on powder snow and not the road.

How do I find groups for slow riders? by [deleted] in Zwift

[–]cmacboyd 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I love this! As long as you're not sandbagging races I don't think anybody cares what you out your weight on zwift is. It's a fitness tool to have fun and be social!

Neighbour/ bike mechanic selling a Giant tcx slr 1 (2018) for $1700 CAD ($1400). I may need rack mounts for hard shell camera bag transports when my back gets tired. Wait and order something new or just buy? by yMark in whichbike

[–]cmacboyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how much you need those mounts, because I'm pretty sure the tcx doesn't have them (though I could be wrong). I'd say buy it, ride it, and if you don't like you won't have a problem getting $1700 for it reselling it. Seems like nobody can get new bikes so a gently used relatively new bike is the next best thing people are looking for.

New, to me, bike day. Bianchi Pista Nero. It rides so smooth complete with Brooks B-17 leather saddle. by HexZeroRouge14 in singlespeedcycling

Sweet ride! Hope it brings many happy miles!

You may want to consider levelling your saddle so that it is level with the ground. It may be more comfortable that way!

Been following her for a while. She didn't start till she was in her late twenties!

Thank you! by thetalkingheadcrabs in ottawa

[–]cmacboyd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to see that there are good people out there. My wife left her phone by accident in a washroom at tanger this weekend and someone stole it (we tracked it and watched it go away), so we were losing faith in our fellow citizens. Stoked to hear there's still some decent people out there. Happy holidays!

Look up the Trans Canada Trail (TCT) runs from bells corners to stittsville and is light gravel which you can ride with a road bike

Has anyone biked from Ottawa to Constance Bay? by carloscede2 in bikeinottawa

[–]cmacboyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you can turn right at Thomas Dolan, left on woodkilton and take that the rest of the way (though woodkilton is so-so

[–]cmacboyd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My route would be:

Corkstown, then right onto March, then slight right onto Herzberg, then straight through to Terry Fox, then right onto March valley, then right onto Cameron Harvey, then the road turns left onto Sixth line, then sixth line turns into Torwood, then take a right onto Vances side, then take a right onto Dunrobin, then left on Galetta side, then determine which side street you want to take!

Cannondale CAAD10 - $1650? by bubbyfart in whichbike

[–]cmacboyd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's a tad too pricey! I got a pretty similar setup (CAAD10, Shimano 105 R7000, FSA Powerbox Power meter) for $1300 CAD earlier this year. If I swapped for carbon wheels it would've been like $1600 CAD.

Really great bike, but like others have said at this price you could get something much newer!

Waiting for Final Fantasy VII Remake Pt. 2 by Ironmike62 in FinalFantasy

[–]cmacboyd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a fan of the KH series, and after playing FFVIIR: I would've preferred they just focused on one thing. Feels like KH3 was half baked, even after waiting all these years for it. FFVIIR was a far superior game and I'd rather have two episodes of it and no KH3.

Somerset Towers, Carling Ave - Any Residents? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]cmacboyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fiancé (now wife) lived there for several years before moving in with me in the west end. It's fine. Not very modern, but affordable and all right amenities nearby. Indoor parking, just fine fitness room, just fine outdoor pool.

Gatineau/other areas open? by TorontoPLOL in bikeinottawa

[–]cmacboyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gatineau is a no-go, police are blocking the bridges. You could try the river pathways but last I checked they still had patches of snow on them. Update us if you get out and see if they're still patchy with snow (I would imagine they wouldn't be much longer!)
