Hello all

Hello from Canada.
I ride a Norco Yorkville hybrid.
I rode every day this summer rain or shine or the coming of The Four Bike-men.😉

See you in the forum

Welcome. That’s great riding every summer day, rain or shine. Living in Canada riding every day of the year gets difficult.

I made a deal with myself. To get a good bike I swore to leave the car parked all summer.
It worked out great. Sixty five dollars in gas lasted seven months. Add the savings of that to no maintenance costs and the bike paid for itself in one season. Now I know what bike
I really want and have to make a new deal with myself in just over three months.
I can't wait.

Nice. I have fairly cheap parking at work, and I still figure I save $10 every time I bike in (gas+parking). I occasionally have to drive because I need to be in several places over the course of a day, but as a home wrench I don't spend a lot on my bikes anyway. I tend to keep my eye out for smashing deals that need a little work, refurb a little, ride them for a while, then sell them if they don't displace any favorites. Pays for the stuff I wear out, anyway.

Sorry Siu,I didn't see this 'til now.
My Norco hybrid is a nice bike but a bit fragile for a big person who rides every day they can.
I am looking at a much better hybrid for the summer,maybe the Norco XFR 3,
plus a winter bike I won't care so much about.
Kind of a beauty and the beast scenario.

Price is an issue.
If I get the XFR 3 the winter bike will have to wait or be a beater.
I don't want a beater as all bicycles,despite their quality,
should be maintained/treated well.
