It’s been a great summer for renting unusual bikes here in Kitchener-Waterloo.  While I typically continue to make the Bicycle Forest collection available through the fall, this year we’ll be closing up early.  Tomorrow, we’re heading off on a bike trip.  We’re departing from Kitchener and hoping to keep pace with the changing leaves as we make our way south.

Thanks to the craftsmanship of Hugh Black at True North Cycles, Natalie has this beautiful new bike for the trip.

I am happy to have finished BikeCAD version 10 before leaving.  It’s good to see so many shops and builders have already downloaded the new update.  I may not be as quick to respond to inquiries in the coming weeks, but I will still be making a point of checking e-mail while on the road.  So please let me know if you have any questions.

Bye for now,

Brent

True North Cycles hosted their 20th Anniversary Open House and Party today.

The shop was open for viewing.

A big group headed out for a ride on the nearby Cataract Trail.

The ride was partly on the rail trail and partly on gravel roads.

This cargo bike loaded with cold beverages was pedalled out to meet the riders on their return.

Warm weather had finally returned to Southern Ontario. The roadside refreshments were greatly appreciated.

This smoker bike cooked up a delicious meal for after the ride.
