Ride for Saturday, 25 August

Went down to IdealBikes and took some photos of bikes. Whilst I was there a guy came in looking to see if he could sell a recumbent trike. It turned out he had just completed a charity ride from Barrie in Ontario to Halifax, and was trying to see if it would be cheaper to sell the trike here and buy a new one in Barrie, or have the trike shipped back to Barrie. Dave gave him a pretty good deal and the trike was sold - I think Dave is planning on using it as his personal bike for a while, he really seemed to enjoy riding it on the test rides.

See http://triketrek.org/ for the website for the ride, or there's a crazyguy journal at http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/2420. Last I heard Dave was going to drive him around for the night once the shop shut and get him settled, and then Bob was going to catch a bus home - a long trip!
