Comments on: Happy Canada Day! http://www.commutebybike.com/2008/07/01/happy-canada-day/ Tips, Hints, Reviews and Safety for Bike Commuters Wed, 22 May 2013 00:36:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: JoelGuelph http://www.commutebybike.com/2008/07/01/happy-canada-day/comment-page-1/#comment-84642 JoelGuelph Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:01:44 +0000 http://commutebybike.com/?p=2278#comment-84642 Thanks all for the nice comments. @William: Just because Google says it is "about 15 mins" doesn't mean it only takes 15 minutes. It usually takes around 25 min. @Danomite: Sleemans is owned by the Japanese now! However, it is rather convenient being walking distance to a brewery! @Ghost Rider: The coroplast is awesome. I was thinking of putting up a review along with the directions I used to make it. And the rack won't sit flat with current hardware. I could get some longer stays, but I can't be bothered, as it works fine as is. Thanks all for the nice comments.

I too enjoy passing the pump more than any other part of my ride. Looks like you have a pretty solid, safe route for your ride! Thanks for the great write up of your commute.

It much to hot and humid to ride in my work clothes. I just throw on my cycling gear, pack my work clothes, and head out the door. Luckily I can shower at work in the AM. Nice pics from your commute.

I really like your front mudflap, too. Sometimes the ugliest bikes turn out to be our favorites!! What's up with your rack? Can't get it to sit flat?

What’s up with your rack? Can’t get it to sit flat?

I hope that you went to the Sleeman Brewery for lunch. It is, afterall, Canada Day. With the humidity of Guelph there is no doubt that you would need a change of clothes.

Even with a low slung messenger bag, I get some sweatiness on my back. I also have a hard time going slow, so I tend to break a sweat on the climb, either from heat or because I need warm clothes for the rest of the ride. I don't bring my CamelBak, or any hydration for that matter. I was trying to say that my tools are still in my CamelBak from my weekend mountain bike ride. Change of clothes, definitely.
