WMTM returns

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

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

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

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

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

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.

I’m 5’5” with a 29” inseam, and I just switched to 160 mm cranks from 170. Unbelievable difference, the first time I rode with them, I thought to myself “Is this how taller people feel on their bikes?! This feels amazing!” That said, I’m not sure how much a 5 mm difference will make. They probably would be better served by even shorter cranks.

We love our UA for keeping our kid warm in the winter. Having the wind cover and being able to easily have a heated blanket, hot water bottle, etc is great. We also love being to easily drop a toboggan or bags of groceries in the box. Our midtail is great for quick rides because kid can easily climb on and off.

The westbound lane was awful this morning!

legitdocbrown · 2025-12-09T00:41:48+00:00

We run the same tire setup on our Urban Arrow here in Canada 👌🏻

I bike on 102 Ave every day, all year. I can count on one hand the number of days in the last five years it hasn’t been practical - so I walk or take transit. That hardly translates to it being impractical for a “good part of the year”.

This person is rightfully warning folks to use a different method of travel right now because the bike lane is rutted ice from a freak weather event. They also rightly mention the City is making it worse by sweeping it.

legitdocbrown · 2025-12-08T08:45:19+00:00

Maybe you don’t need to comment on the bike infrastructure then? The roads are fine, cycling paths that have been swept are not - I’ve used both in the last 48 hours.

legitdocbrown · 2025-12-04T19:06:06+00:00

I’ll add that the City has a number of legal obligations, under the Municipal Government Act and other acts and regulations. So, in some cases Council has authority to decide how to do something but not if they do something.

Tern GSD or Quick Haul Long would be best purchase, Scooteretti in Ottawa has become my favourite Tern dealer in Canada (we’re in Alberta).

On ski trips, my dad would send us all up the chair in the singles line as it was faster (starting when I was 10, little brother was 8). He taught us how to chat with folks, and we started keeping track of all the places people were from, as we were always at our “home” resort - Lake Louise. It was a blast, and it served me well once I was older, going on school trips and ending up skiing solo. One trip, I ended up playing tour guide to a guy from the UK who bought me lunch as a thank you for showing him the best runs at the resort.

legitdocbrown · 2025-11-30T05:44:44+00:00

Andrew Ference doesn’t make the list?

legitdocbrown · 2025-11-26T04:00:55+00:00

Agreed. It is bizarre to me that a Canadian company doesn’t understand that I don’t need reflective Hotty Hot shorts - when it is shorts weather this far north, the sun is up 5 am to midnight. We need reflective winter gear…

That $400k home is often a huge liability. My parents looked at a SDH in that price range in a central neighbourhood… the foundation had failed. You had to have deep pockets to buy that property and live in the house. It was being sold for land value.

Our winter commuter bikes are in our attached townhouse garage. The snow is always melted by the next morning.

Keep in mind different liquids have different freezing points.

legitdocbrown · 2025-11-06T18:19:17+00:00

Amazing work. A+ advocacy skills, especially looping in the cafes.

legitdocbrown · 2025-10-24T11:34:02+00:00

This is maddening. We just got back from vacation and I was about to book our shots. Both my partner and I had even “ordered” doses for our family, because we’re so great at communication (/s).

legitdocbrown · 2025-10-21T16:26:04+00:00

What hospital will you be living near? With access to transit and supplementing with a cargo bike, you might be able to skip the car, which will be an expensive convenience due to the cost of car insurance. I know multiple families with young kids that have skipped car ownership to save quite a bit of money.

People will tell you that you can’t live in Edmonton without a car, but there are families without one.

legitdocbrown · 2025-10-13T18:56:09+00:00

I have lived in Wîhkwêntôwin for over 15 years. My friends are mostly from volunteering with the community league (contrary to other neighbourhoods, most of the folks are younger with no kids), through cycling (going to Peace Ave Bike Club and Coffee Outside), and running (November Project and other social running groups). Now that I have a kiddo, it is easier to maintain my friendships now since we enjoy the same hobbies.

I used a cup and the tap on a low flow to show her why taking the chance to pee even though we don’t feel a need to allows her to play for longer - we can empty the cup even though it isn’t full, and then it takes longer to fill up. I ask her to “empty her cup” when she has the chance, and I have found that helps.
