http://newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/February2...
For those of you who may know, Dorel is a Montreal-based company that had previously acquired Pacific Cycle and GT. Pacific Cycle will be a separate division, no mention yet about whether the GT brand will be part of that division.
To Gaza, Bikemad and all you great people - Elly's disaster 'cycle' continues! Read on
First of all please excuse my lateness in replying to threads and personal messages - am having to get to Internet Cafes and this is my first visit to one since last week.
Here's the bad news which is making me start to believe that someone up there doesn't want me to ride anymore..... Yesterday I went to visit the worlds best Sports Physio - Joel Werman in North Sydney, Miller Street by the cricket Oval. He is the superb and sorted me out last year with a knee problem in one visit. His number is 9558766if anyone is unlucky enough to need him.
Bike lights
I've noticed there is a weekly bike ride at 17;30 or round about that time in terrey hills. Now i was wondering if you need a bike light for these rides. I looked into buying a bike light and have been shocked buy the prices. One store told me they start at $140 which is rediculus. So my question is do you need it?
If the answer is indeed yes
where did you get the bike lights from? How much did you pay and what do you recomend.
My fall back plan is to go down to dicksmith electronics and wireing up a few LEDs.
Information would be aprecieted, thanks.
Bored on another wet weekend in Sydney
and I found this on NSMB.
So Gaz, how long before you're back up for this?

Can you suggest a reliable bike shop in northern beaches? Plus company wanted for my 1st ride
Hello again Nobmobs, it's Elly the Pommy Shelia. Managed to find somewhere to stay for my first month and arrive in Sydney on 30th January. My bags are packed and am so excited will barely be able to sleep tonight as get up at 5.30 tomorrow for my flight. But I digress.....
I am bringing my old Marin Muirwoods and its been serviced but all in pieces in a box. Please can any of you suggest a decent bike shop who will set it up for me. I'm staying in Manly so somewhere in the Northern Beaches area would be great.
Mysterious Downhill Course
Whilst driving from Hornsby to Galston one day I noticed some heavily protected downhillers walking their bikes up the road. Today I decided to check it out. Now about 500 metres west of the bridge I found what looked like a cycle path exit emerging from the forest just after a guard rail on the left hand side of the road while driving west. I walked about 50 metres along it and this does seem to look like the tail end of a down hill track. The track has has a lot of effort put into it at some point.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Hello from newbie
Hi guys,
I have been a lurker on the site for a little while and have decided to Join.
I am mid thirties and just starting to get back into mountain bike riding after about a ten year break.
Looking forward to do some easy riding on the northern beaches.
Regards,
Michael
