General Cycling Links:


Sheldon Brown - An amazing site! If you want to know ANYTHING about bikes - gears, brakes, shifting systems, tires - this is the place, as Sheldon has it all.

Re-Cycles Bike Co-op - Ottawa's local bike co-op. A great place to a) find an overhauled used bike, b) learn bike repair skills, and c) get involved in cycling advocacy.

Urbane Cyclist - A "worker's co-op" bike shop in Toronto. Carey Chen is the guy to talk to there.

Damon Rinard - Damon's page of Bike Tech links. There are more cycling-related links than I've ever seen in one place (plus some extra ones that will be of interest to homebuilders, such as sites about composite construction).

Lisa's Bike Page - Local cycling activist (and re-Cycles volunteer) Lisa Routhier's page about her 2-wheel steeds.

Jeff's Bike Page - Another volunteer at the re-Cycles Co-op, Jeff Noakes.

The Blue Camembert - And yet another re-Cycles volunteer, Mike Bowler.

Chunk 666 - World Domination is the goal with the wild and wooly Chunk 666 gang .

Icebike - So, ya think you're tough, eh? How 'bout a nice little bike ride at -20C? Here in Ottawa you either put your bike away for the winter, or just keep on pedalin'. These crazy folks will show you the joys of cycling when lesser mortals are snug in front of the fireplace.

Exploratorium - The Exploratorium Cycling site. A great way to learn about the science of cycling. Kids will like it too.


Recumbent/HPV Links:

Linear Recumbents - This is the site of Linear Manufacturing, the good folks who make the recumbent I ride.

Richard's GreenSpeed page - Just when I thought Ottawa was going to remain a bit of a recumbent backwater, local cycling advocate Richard Guy Briggs acquires the World's first production model of the GreenSpeed convertible tandem/solo recumbent trike!

Bikeroute.com - Another good resource. In addition to their recumbent pages, there is a tremendous amount of cycling related info here.

Kevin Atkins - Kevin runs the mailing list for Linear owners (of which I'm proud to be a charter member!). This is his 'Linear Resource' site.

Velomobile Homebuilders Network - "This site is dedicated to promoting the construction and usage of velomobiles in North America".

Recumbent Cyclist News - RCN is the magazine to get if you want to keep on top of what's happening in the world of recumbents.

Carey Chen - Carey builds some very nice bicycles, and he is also one of the proprietors of Urbane Cyclist (above).

WISIL HPV - A great site from a bunch of HPV'ers who like to build and race their own recumbents. Their project page has a lot of useful info and photos.

Bent Rider Online - A fine online magazine for recumbent enthusiasts. Snoop around in the back issues and find my article!

Steve Robson - Steve is another HPVSO member, and has built many of his own recumbents. His bikes prove that you don't have to spend a lot of money to ride in style.


Folding Bike Links:
