Sure is. Goldfish, as hmai18 alluded to, Ottawa's got a pretty good atmosphere for cycling.

Keep an eye out for me. Not an OBC member but I'll likely join up next year.

I joined around this time during my first year and there's still plenty of good riding to be had with the club. They want you to go through a clinic on group riding before you join the Sunday rides, so if you haven't done it yet, you might want to do it now while they're still offered on a weekly basis. Once July hits, they'll only be offered at the start of each month. You can do the clinic and pay for your membership while you're there as well.

Sorry for the blurry pics. Took them without flash and the camera defaulted to a long exposure.

I'm new here so I figured I should show my ride... Is the frame worthy of the wheels?

The Scott is only a week old so it only has 100 miles on it and I am still in new bike mode i.e. wipe it down after the ride to get the sweat off. This will fade in a few weeks and I am sure I will be riding in the rain and getting the bike sufficiently grimy.

NOT MINE but I saw this today. Thought it looked pretty snappy:

I always see these pics of hot bikes barely locked to anything in Japan. WTF? Do they not have bike thieves or what?

superted

my ass recognises that saddle and says "ow."
San Marco Ponza methinks. not comfy

I think they had one once, but that was long ago, and he's dead now.
Japan does not have much crime. Here in South Africa, you won't find a nice road bike without the rider on it. A lock is not going to stop any of our thiefs...

superted

South Africa has a terrible reputation... I get the impression that if you stop at a traffic light, you'll get carjacked

ebow3d

Well, that's more than just an impression, its a fact.

i didnt want to be rude

A real road bike if there ever was one. I've had this bike for nearly 30 years...

Here is my new bike. Just picked it up last week. I am new to this forum and to road bikes. I have a lot to learn and I am hoping that you guys/gals can help me out a bit along the way.

giantcfr1

Well your observation is correct, we don't have much "good bike" thieving here in Kyoto, but the odd crappy mama chari (traditional shopping bike) does somethimes go wondering by drunk salarymen.
An example is my giant sat on the footpath overnight (last night) with a 100 yen (maybe $1us) lock on it. That's with reasonable quick release bontrager wheels on it.
I will add though that with the US messenger influence here, people with fixies are buying frickin big "motor bike like" locks for them as they look "cool".
I did see one classic a few months ago, check it:
Not an owner to be seen:
