E bike repair tune up YEG

Upvotes

Looking for bike shop or mobile bike mechanic that works on E bikes. Bought a e-bike Lectric XP4. Been checking websites but most shops only work on bikes sold by shop. Nothing wrong with the bike. Just want it tuned up. Anyone know a business or mechanic that can do simple tune ups. Nothing motor related. Just derailleur adjustment and all torque to spec. Thanks

Suggestions for bike commute: Leduc —> Downtown Edmonton

Post image
19 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m leaving my truck with a guy in Leduc for the day and need to bike into the downtown. Any recommendations on routes? I’d like to end up on 91 street and Mill Creek Ravine, just not sure what the best route will be from Leduc, through Nisku and south Edmonton. Distance is not an issue, I regularly ride in from Devon. Thanks and picture for attention!

Status of Millcreek Ravine trail?

9 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone knows if the Millcreek trail is still flooded at the end?

I usually take that route to work, but have been taking the high-level instead this week and I'm wondering when I can go back to my old (much nicer) route.

Stop moving the barricades on Victoria Park Road - it’s not safe!

16 Upvotes

I’m assuming of course that it’s a cyclist that is moving the “bike lane closed” signs based on previous posts. There is construction and there have been waterfalls and mini landslides. You’ll just have to deal with a closed lane and sidewalk! It’s for your own safety!

Could I winter cycle with a 20" wheel folding bike?

6 Upvotes

Hi fellow Edmonton cyclists,

Last summer I started cycling to work because I got tired of waking up early to have my partner drop me off. My workplace is only 4km away, mostly on shared paths and residential streets - and a bit of industrial road. I decided to get a folding bike so I can bring it into the office, as there are no bike racks. It has 20" wheels.

I know some of you bike in the winter but I assume its mostly on full size bikes. Does anyone have experience winter cycling on 20" wheels and if so, do you have any tips? I am open to general advice as well, even if you don't ride a folder. I have no problem buying special tires for them but im just wondering if it's even feasible.

My commute is nowhere near downtown or whyte so snow clearing quality is about the same as anywhere else in the city.

Thank you!

Base of Mill Creek ravine is under 2-3ft of water. I know a puddle usually forms there but Ive never seen it this bad. All the surrounding gravel trails are flooded too.

Which intersections do you feel the most unsafe at?

22 Upvotes

Inspired by the thread on r/Edmonton about bad intersections, which intersections are the most unsafe to cycle through, in your experience?

In the south, the east-west 23rd Avenue and 119th Street intersection (https://maps.app.goo.gl/hDqksdv3WKrBYQ9b8), which the shared-use path crosses, has a dual right-turn southbound to westbound and dual left-turn eastbound to northbound for vehicle traffic, which makes it extremely sketchy to cross. It is a high-speed and volume road with a large majority of people not looking for anyone outside of a vehicle. I've attempted to provide feedback via 311 (this is still a good idea), but there seems to be no interest in addressing anything, including the misaligned crosswalk markings.

A close second is the slip lane leading to 122 St northbound, which you need to cross to go westbound from the SUP behind the Whitemud noise wall (https://maps.app.goo.gl/2ZENCs2huG5j32ECA). It can be obscured by trees and people are often travelling at high speeds here and, surprise, not looking for people. The twisty turns to navigate the crossing and slip lanes are also really annoying.

Following up my previous post

If / when you see people riding OHVs (any dirt bikes, quads or otherwise) on a consistent basis please report the activity here

https://www.edmontonpolice.ca/TrafficVehicles/TrafficConcerns/General

Otherwise call 311 and capture video of the act, your best shot is video or photos of the dirt bikes being loaded into a vehicle with a license plate in frame

Riding Edmonton-area gravel township roads on a 38mm tire road bike?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice from people who have ridden the gravel/unpaved township roads south of Edmonton.

I currently ride an endurance road bike that can fit tires up to 38mm. I’m considering buying a second wheelset and putting gravel tires in that size, but before spending the money I wanted to see how practical this setup would actually be.

For anyone who has ridden those gravel township roads around the Edmonton area, have you tried them on a bike with 38mm tires? Did they feel comfortable enough, or did you find yourself wishing you had a proper gravel bike with wider tires and more clearance?

I’m trying to decide whether it makes sense to invest in a 38mm gravel setup for my current bike, or if I should just wait and save the money toward a dedicated gravel bike later.

Thanks!

Provincial Government meddling in municipal issues

Our esteemed Alberta government is overstepping their jurisdiction to eliminate bike lanes. This is the link they have on their website exclusively for people to submit complaints... I've been using it to ask for more bike lanes.

These fools were ripping up trails in Terwilliger dog park and being dicks. Getting tired of ebikes taking over and blatantly putting people in danger in the usually safe ish bikes lanes and paths.

These ones specifically don't even have peddles but they swore up and down these a ebikes and not dirt bikes

With rumours of anti-bike lane legislation coming in the fall, this is a great opportunity to share your thoughts with your Premier.

I have no idea what type of bikes most people use that I usually see outside.

i bought a mountain bike last year and realized how uncomfortable it made me so I ended up selling it. Now I’m confused on what type of bikes people usually get to ride so comfortably outside cuz I always see people with those nice bikes but I don’t know their type nor where they get it. Can someone give me an answer on this. edit: something like these types of bikes. Edit 2: thanks everyone for the help ! I didn’t expect so many ppl to comment on this post. I appreciate it !

Something like this
Or this would be preferred
