FIrst of all I would like just say whatup 12oz! Ive been on and off this shit since the year 2000 and havnt really been posting much lately. Unfortunately I forgot the password to my old account but im back.
I was living in Vancouver for a couple years, enjoying the hell out of riding my 1986 Peugeot road bike (I forgot the name, but it was the top of the line racing bike back in the day) I picked up the bike for cheap from a garage sale and I would never want a more expensive bike, its my fav shit ever. I also tried some of the alley cat races in town which i loved to death, even though I got totally whipped on them, I dont really care cause I had funnn. I found Vancouver to be a super dope city for biking because you can ride all year round, you learn to deal with the rain and theres hardly no snow. Riding around town and drinking beers in parks and pissing in alleys was a weekly occourance and I cant wait to get back into the city this fall to rip it up even more.
Now I moved up north a bit and just purchased a Norco Sasquatch to tear up the mountain bike trails and dirt jumps. I grew up down in CO and mountain biked a lot, but did mainly XC shit. When i just started mountain biking up here I was shocked at how fucking hardcore they are up here in BC with their mad platforms and teeter totters and shit in the trees. 10 year old kids here are huckin 20 foot drops. Its been fun mountain biking around the small town that im in but it whoops the shit out of me, especially riding my 36 pound bike up the mountains, but its rewarding as hell since most other bikers shuttle up and down the mountains. With gas at the equivalent of $4.81 USD a gallon ($1.27 CAD/liter) I cant really afford to drive much so my bike does just fine.
When i ride my Peugeot road bike around town i feel like a fucking superman after riding the 36 pounder up and down mountains all day.
Suburbian Bum here puttin it down for Williams Lake in the Heart of the Cariboo Country!!
Any other Vancity or BC folks around?
