Hi from Canada

Hello everyone, My name is Andre and about 4 years ago I became obsessed with cycling. Started as part of a local club, then upgraded my bike a few times till I got to the point of building my own. Now I have a small shop where I customize, paint and build bikes as part of a small contribution to the local cycling fans. I'm here to learn and hope that some of my experiences might help others. My technical background is in design engineering, robotics and automation. (I don't have a 3D printer yet but if you need anything designed, I'm your guy).

Hi. I'm also from Canada and I love cycling too. But I don't do it professionally. Just like skiing as an amateur. And what city are you from? I am currently living in Canada. I think Canada is perfect for cycling. That's why I immigrated to Toronto. Because I used to live in Europe, where there are no suitable facilities or dedicated cycling tracks. With the help of an immigration consultant I was able to move to Canada very quickly. Next week I'm already going to my first training session. I plan to ride at least 50 miles. Wish me luck

Awesome, whereabouts in Canada are you? My folks have a place in southern Ontario that I spend a lot of time at in the summer.
