Peugeot with Campagnolo Veloce

Another of Ken's bikes. He bought it from New Hope Bike Coop as a fixed gear, but converted it back to a multi speed.

Blue Long Haul Trucker (touring bike)

This is my buddy Ken's Long Haul Trucker, as finally decked out in its final form after months of new paint job, new saddle, multiple components added that it makes my head spin. Still, the result is very pretty I am sure you will agree.

We were in the town formerly known as Hull, now Gatineau, sitting around waiting for the cruise boat to load, when this fellow nipped by with his unusual cargo. Fortunately, he turned around and came back, giving me a chance to get this shot. My dog runs alongside, being too big to fit in the carrier. Tried to get her into a bike trailer once, but she panicked.

This is my biking buddy Ken's new Kestrel, an early carbon fibre framed bike. He usually gets steel framed bikes, but this was an exception. He bought it refurbished from New Hope bike coop on Main and Kenilworth, in Hamilton.
