I'm fund-raising for the Tour for Kids, a four day ride in southern Ontario coming up in August. One hundred percent of every donation goes directly to the kids, improving the quality of life for kids living with cancer; Nothing is shaved off for administration/other ride costs. Read more about the camps and the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation.

Jan 29	comment	How do you decide your route to commute to work? I always choose the downhill route, there and back.
Dec 31	comment	Best bike lock This ultimately relies on a cable to prevent somebody from simply walking away with your bike or throwing it in the back of a truck, which makes it pretty useless in my opinion.
Dec 21	comment	What's the most efficient riding style for losing weight? Consider reading up on interval training. "Slow pace for a long time" and "high pace for a short time" are not your only (or best) options.
Dec 10	accepted	Should I oil my seat post?
Dec 9	comment	Should I oil my seat post? As an aside, I have some fairly thick Wet Ride chain oil for winter cycling; is this an appropriate oil to use for the seat post?

Dec 7	accepted	Shoes for oddly shaped feet
Dec 7	accepted	How do I remove rust from my seat tube?
Dec 6	answered	Does the plastic cap on a Presta valve serve any purpose once fitted to a rim?
Dec 6	comment	How to make studded tires Just had the snowiest day in our city's history, going to try my hand at this tonight. Hopefully, come tomorrow morning, I'll have a functional bike and not two ruined tires :)
Dec 6	comment	How do I remove rust from my seat tube? @freiheit Great, thanks.
Dec 6	comment	How do I remove rust from my seat tube? It's meant to be used inside the frame? It's not going to serve as a lubricant and cause my seat post to slip down inside the seat tube when jarred?
Dec 5	asked	How do I remove rust from my seat tube?
Dec 3	comment	How to get a bike from one city to another in the U.S +1 for the advice on putting something between the forks/stays to keep them from getting squished. Wouldn't have thought of that.
Dec 2	revised	How fast do you need to be going to get an effective slipstream on a bike? edited tags
Dec 2	comment	Android/EVO bike mount recommendations @Ian Agree with @freiheit. It's no more dangerous than a speedometer or GPS.
Dec 2	awarded	Nice Question
Dec 1	comment	Safety data: Which is safer, head/tail lights which blink or emit a steady beam? Thanks for the links to hard data, that's really what I was looking for.
Dec 1	accepted	Safety data: Which is safer, head/tail lights which blink or emit a steady beam?
Dec 1	comment	Safety data: Which is safer, head/tail lights which blink or emit a steady beam? @neilfein Looks good, except I don't generally like to duplicate tags (safety) in the title.
