Funny thing is people who can average more than 25 km/h on a nice hill amaze me. I've been working on my climbing and have steadily improved over the past year. I would granny gear it before but now I push through the pain on a harder gear. I started using clipless pedals just recently too. Crashed twice on the first day of using them lol. My goal is to climb either Grouse or Cypress without stopping by next summer.

I ride an entry level Triace S503, a Taiwanese brand that I picked up from Walmart USA online. I had it shipped to Point Roberts. If I remember right, it was $399 and came with decent parts, Shimano drivetrain, bladed spoke wheels. Its covered in Plastidip now so its pretty murdered out lol. I've had it for two years now but I think it's time for an upgrade.

My brother took his bike out around the block for a light ride, that's about it but I think he'll be good to go pretty soon!
