    Failed Key-Fob ended 7500km Trip short

    Our annual bike trip was supposed to take us from Toronto to Newfoundland and back. A trip estimated to be 7500km over 25 days. We were going to see some great sights, some great roads, and spend some time with my son in Halifax. On or about day 3 of the trip I get the ever popular "Key-Fob...

    Cold starting problems

    Are these bikes normally hard to start when it's cold? I think I might need a new battery. I took her out the other day and she started right up after every stop.

Held the...
