My brother picked me up at Whistler but had to wait for 2 hours to get picked up. At first I told him to pick me up at Squamish cause the plan was to bike to Squamish after Whistler but realized that's a bit too much ride for one day. hahaha. So the 2 hours of wait will have to do. :)

Thanks dude. I'm sure you'll be fine. :) my uncle did the ride with us today and he hasn't biked for 3 weeks prior to this ride and yesterdays ride to Whytecliff.

Sportchek is having a sale on Jamis bikes. Their Ventura Sport is currently $449, which is below cost. What do you guys think of this bike? Good for a beginner?

It's good enough for a beginner, especially at that price point. If you want to just ride around here and there for fitness, it's ok. But if you want to get into something more serious like club rides or fondos, I don't recommend it. Mind you, others may disagree.

You guys know a website that show the full stages of the current vuelta?

Roadracefanatics had Tdf and a bunch of others. But not sure about vuelta

Hey guys, what kind of lights do you guys have on your road bikes? Do you even use lights at all?

I use flashers front and back on my commuter bike to BE SEEN, but they are not bright enough to light up a pitch black street TO SEE if that makes sense :)

Mec has flashers for cheap

I need all the weight reduction I can get so I don't use lights of any sort.

#YOLO

mec lights here too. for a front light i recommend getting something a bit brighter in case you ever do night rides.

no lights here. just wear super flashy clothing/gear :troll: :troll:

but no i havent gotten lights actually.

still havent ridden my bike close to sunset. always ridding during the day. but i should get some cheap mec ones in case i ever get stuck.

Red flasher on the back, and a removable flashlight I found in Beijing for about 6 bucks which i'm sure blinds everyone in sight! (When not aimed properly). Does the trick when the dark comes out.

Found a great deal on leg warmers -

Amazon.com: Pearl Izumi Men's Pro Barrier Leg Warmer, Black, Medium: Sports & Outdoors

Great deal! Fall is on it's way in!

Several of us use the MEC Saturn rear light and the MEC Quattro for the front.

The MEC Saturn is good enough (in my opinion) to be seen.

The Quattro, while "good" is only good to be seen as well. I would NOT use this to see in the dark. I'm sure there are other ones out there that are better.

So umm...look at what I saw today.

whenever i picture a cannondale mountain bike, i always picture it with a lefty fork. those things are funky :badpokerface:

I picture it with a crack

Crackendale :troll:

For my commuter, which I ride in pitch black with, I use an e-bay light like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CREE-Bicycle-XM-L-T6-1600Lum-HeadLamp-Headlight-Bike-Front-Light-/170824026434?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c5e7c942
Bang for buck they can't be beat. Just don't get them wet.. :speechless:


For taillight I've been using knog lights.

Okay, thanks guys! I am trying to decide whether I just want a flasher for the front or an actual light light...

i would just go for a light light that's easy to take off/put on

anybody looking for a helmet? hahaha
