It's beginning to look a lot like Spring, hurrah! On Saturday I dropped by Redbike to check out new products and bikes. Bruce mentioned that a fellow cyclist named Sheldon was test-riding the Brompton. Sheldon and fiend Ken write a local bike blog called Bike Ridr. If ou're looking for another local blog, check it out. I particularly enjoy their home-made videos!
After riding around Garneau block, Sheldon seemed enamoured with our favorite foldy. Pretty soon he and Bruce were talking about adding clipless pedals to the Brompton!
These Flat bags are new to the store. They're made of used inner tubes and reclaimed fabrics.
Besides being ecologically friendly, they're made Nelson, B.C. It's great to support small Canadian businesses.
This orange bag was my favorite!
In case you're wondering about Bruce's "hit & run" incident; the driver settled out of court. We couldn't justify a lengthy and nasty court battle. I earnestly hope that the driver realizes that he needs to stop hurting people. I hope that he takes anger management courses. Conversely, I secretly hope that his driver's license gets taken away from him forever. Anyway, life goes on. We can't ride in fear once something happens like this to us. Time to dust it off and ride on.
Hey Stranger:) I'm glad Bruce was ok after his hit and run. Love the photos too of the new bags!!!
