Mark posted on the forum topic Is it a sin to get a bike from a big store? in the group How-To: 4 hours, 35 minutes ago
Yeah, Craigslist is pretty good here in Toronto. I suggest spending some time just browsing the ads for a few days – you'll get to know what's out there, prices, etc. It's pretty easy to tell if an ad is 'shady' (barely any information, no pic, etc.) and you'll see some decent people who post [...]

p.s. a SIN? Who cares? it's your money, spend it where you want. Just don't expect the folks to know what they're talking about. If they do, they should really be working somewhere better than Canadian Tire

- I don't think it's worth spending a lot of extra money just because of the comfort that a new bike wasn't stolen. A lot of bikes get stolen, but a lot of used bikes are being sold legitimately. Of course, I don't advocate buying stolen, but if you have no real reason to think [...]

Frank Lecky started the forum topic My first ride of the season! in the group Recreation: 5 hours, 31 minutes ago
I got my straddle wire on my front brakes fixed yesterday at Riders (nice people, very reasonably priced and helpful), replaced the brake pads and gave 'er a bit of a wash and a greasing…not quite a tune-up but that wasn't going to slow me down!
From my starting point at Ossington/Davenport I rode east on [...]

Re: Bikes at St. Clair – I've gone there for tune-ups etc., since it's right near me, and found the people to be really nice. I didn't even know they had used bikes, but I would probably trust them. They seem like good people.
Re James's comment about a used-bike-buying assistance service – that sounds [...]

I bought a used Trek hybrid for $180 from Craigslist. I wanted something of decent quality, but I wanted to reduce the chance of it being stolen.
My advice would be to ensure the bike you are buying was registered with the Toronto Police Service prior to you buying it. That would help to ensure it [...]

Thanks for the feedback guys. The feature obviously has a bug… so I've de-activated it for now. Hopefully you won't get tons of email notifications now.

Same here. I changed to no emails for all the groups but still receive all the new forum posts in my mailbox. There must be some other forum notification setting somewhere, but I can't find it. Problem with reading the posts in my mailbox is I sometimes want to reply but by [...]

JoFergus started the forum topic Kenk:Comicbook Anti-Hero or Arch-Villain? in the group News: 9 hours, 37 minutes ago
The impending release of a (very progressively produced) comic book based on the misadventures of Igor Kenk has me thinking about what kind of legacy he'll leave on the city, and how history might look back at him. Wondering if there's any social value that can be recovered from that whole saga…

Colin,
Bikes at St. Clair is near me as well and is where we always go for anything. They are very nice and we have found them to be nothing but honest. Very knowledgable and no sales pressure. Highly recommended. -

It’s how they sell papers / get viewers. Controversy. Sad but true.
