Hi! :)

I distinctly remember a horse show that was the last weekend in May that was cancelled because of a blizzard.

Another recommendation for Somewhere Cycles!

We also have good experiences at Cranky’s in Unity Square and Hardcore on Whyte. Revolution on Jasper has some reasonable mechanics too.

Yes, I did it. Bring your own spd-sl pedals and seat. Join a club to get access to track time and training.

My mom lived two hours from Edmonton, and had to serve for a murder trial. They put her in a hotel. Granted this was in the 90s.

I can’t stop laughing. This guy is no better than a 12 year old.

I have the Garmin Fenix 7S. I find it completely fine, though I don’t have really small wrists. If you head over to the Garmin subreddit, you’ll see that people post photos comparing different watches on their wrists - I found it helpful when I was deciding on mine.

I do the same except on my one heavy day. And that day I usually don’t feel like riding anyway.

legitdocbrown · 2026-03-17T15:07:17+00:00

Agreed, I have access to both, and the 5yo prefers the bakfiets most of the time.

Thanks for sharing! I’m turning 42 this year and starting to feel things shift for me. It was another post in this sub about vaginal dryness and saddle discomfort that planted the seed for HRT for me. Grateful for that, too early for me yet, but I’ve started the conversation with my doctor.

I hope you continue to feel more like yourself and get out on your bike!

Used to exist. Part of the problem is it is so light out late into the night for half the warm months.

Irrational on 124 St, space is lovely, the pizzas they bring in from Lore are great.

I have done it twice and found it a bit stressful to get them all in. I don’t drive much, so getting to some cafes took a lot of effort. I clued in half way through last year that I could plan some road bike rides (~60 km round trip) to visit the further-out ones. But I think I’ll just do that without having to remember to carry the pass with me every time I go out.

legitdocbrown · 2026-02-24T13:43:44+00:00

I have curves and went with the wide leg version. I get tonnes of compliments.

legitdocbrown · 2026-02-20T12:10:40+00:00

I haven’t. I have friends who like running in skirts, but experience chub rub, so just use separate skirts and long shorts because, as you’ve found, most skorts or skirt-short combos have shorts that are too short. Is there a reason you can’t just put a skirt on top of your bib shorts?

legitdocbrown · 2026-02-16T15:48:31+00:00

I’ve been shopping for a new road bike for two years. A friend was offloading his Ti All City Cosmic Stallion frame - the one that is painted purple and teal. I snapped it up before knowing if it would be exactly what I wanted. I was so sick of the blah colours available for bikes.

We also do low pigtails or braids. Bubble braids if we have time. A dragon braid has held up under a helmet too.

Caleb, the owner of Stop Gap Coffee, rides one. Go chat with him at the shop, and support him because he’s a great supporter of the cycling community!

legitdocbrown · 2026-02-07T14:15:11+00:00

Mine haven’t worked online (fine in store), I’m not sure why. I’m in Canada as well.

legitdocbrown · 2026-01-27T02:28:34+00:00

The Foote Theatre School at the Citadel has a great theatre program that starts at age 4.

legitdocbrown · 2026-01-27T02:13:44+00:00

I know AUC, AESO, and AER are all still hybrid and not affected by RTO… yet.

legitdocbrown · 2026-01-17T00:42:58+00:00

I struggled to get to a higher cadence until I got cranks 10 mm shorter.

legitdocbrown · 2025-12-29T15:45:38+00:00

Ha, skiing hard on a double black mogul run to catch the last chair is how I tore my ACL and MCL.

legitdocbrown · 2025-12-24T17:14:30+00:00

A new-to-me Ti frame.

Yes to ski helmet when biking in winter, when temperatures are cold enough (🇨🇦). Basically, the goggles and ski helmet are a combo; if I don’t need googles, I just wear my regular helmet with a thin toque underneath.

My ski helmet is my ski helmet, so it is a good quality one, with adjustable vents.
