Calgary Shopping Stampede
Calgary Shopping Stampede, originally uploaded by sk8evangelist.
The stampede is on in Calgary and I am here for the summer institute of my grad program. I brought my Bike Friday along and as you can see this is a very solid lifestyle vehicle. The super is 2 or so km away from student housing so a pretty rough walk with groceries. The standard sized suitcase that the bike packs into for airline travel converts to a rugged trailer for errands or other domestic chores. It also works to carry your luggage from the airport to where you’re staying if you don’t arrive in the middle of a thunderstorm like I did.
I am here for 3 weeks so stocked up on a huge amount of groceries. I am hoping to further convert these calories into kilometers cycling out and through the Tsuu T’ina First Nation land just SW of town here. If anyone is a serious cyclist and you want a bike that does everything well I can’t rave enough about this bike. It is fast when you want to just sit and hammer, light, and really fun to just buzz around on.
