i plan my route and pretty much know where i'll have a chance to piss (spanish banks, musette cafe, stanley parks prospect point, whytcliff park, steveston gary point) among others lol

and i guess you're like mike and bring the bike with you?

Same.

I usually plan my routes out as well and end up going to some place like a community centre or a coffee shop and ask if they're okay with watching my bike and/or bringing it in with me. If/when I commute and bring my lock with me, I'm never more than a few meters away from the bike anyway so it's visible 100% of the time.

^yup, no one cares if you bring your expensive bike into a large public urinal and put it beside u lol

if they ask, just be like "yo it's like 5g's bro cant leave that shit outside"

and make a bold entrance with the road bike shoes with cleats...clack clack clackkkkk:D

Hehe. its not like you're walking through a shopping mall. Most places you're probably stopping at are in public parks, so it's normal for spandex clad ppl clunking around looking goofy

Are there websites that help you plan out bike routes?

Booked my fitting with John from PMS next week. He's a great guy!

^ dope!

i should have my wheels on wed, gonna drop it off with my bike on thurs, bike fit on saturday!

cant wait.

I used to refer to the PDF maps from each city's website (i.e. City of Vancouver Bike Map - PDF file etc.) and a combination of Google Maps using the "bicycle" feature.

slowguy needs a bike. :hotbaby:

Edit:
City of Richmond
City of Burnaby - PDF Map
Turns out Translink already has a list of the cycling maps - http://www.translink.ca/en/Getting-A...ling-Maps.aspx

Hey everyone,

I was thinking of biking the Seawall/Stanley Park. Just curious, how long do you think it'll take to bike the whole thing casually?

Thanks!

Last time I rode my hybrid around the Seawall/Stanley Park at a casual pace, I think it was about 30 - 45 mins total, starting at Coal Harbour.

^ depending on how busy, i would say around half hour?

for anyone looking for wheels.

Thanks!

Yes slowguy needs a bike, its inevitable for him not to get a bike :accepted:

Old T.I.T.S crew from IC club are onto bikes :)

Who will be the new 43MA? :troll:

LoL.. I don't think any of us here can beast like Omid can on cycling. FB google him and you'll see what I mean. 43MA is an understatement now!

OMG :pokerface:

Imma eat my words...:inoutugh: I just got chumped.

Anyone recommend a good bike lock? Something under $100.

Kryptonite u-lock of some kind with their cable to lock your wheels. The evolution line that bcrdukes posted above is pretty good.

i can't remember the last time i've had to pee while riding. i think my body just goes into survival mode lol

^ha same.

The seller just shipped my seat that I won on Sunday :rukidding:

That's why u cramped up steve!!! I piss like how I ride (like a race horse. ZIIIING!)

I barely ever piss too. I think I sweat it all out. haha

still need redemption for that ride. it's like getting caught with your pants down after a dip in cold water. "it's normally bigger than that i swear!"

im looking to get some tools to maintain my ride, mostly taking care of the drivetrain, chain/cassette and chain rings.

what kind do you guys use and where did you get them?

im thinking i'll need a chain cleaner, degreaser solution and some lube?

something like this.
