Obviously NO children for this household!!!!!
Come on people – join the real world-
Those with children are lucky to get on their windtrainer for 1 hour while the 'little darlings' occupy themselves without those immortal words -muuuuum where are you??? ( sitting in the same room) muuum can I have a drink- sandwich- chocolate-??? ( having just been given something to eat and drink) and my personal favourite muuuum what will happen if i stick Barbie, Bateman, my hand or my head into the spinning rear wheel on the roller???(despite repeated pleas to move away).
Aaah children – wouldn't have life any other way!!!

The Belgian jersey is a signed gift from Eddie and Axel. Bike Room guy is all Canadian… besides even Belgians get more road time than Canadians so they don’t need this kind of set -up.

I see an Alberta Provincial Champion jersey, an Alberta provincial project jersey, canadian national team jersey circa 2003. Your buddy is probably someone of some esteem living in Edmonton or Calgary I would imagine? I likely race on the circuit with him, I just can’t really put my finger on who it is.

thanks for the plug for the site. yeah, Team RaceDayRush.com is out busting our asses trying to get podium placements while fully cammed out.

We are running high end Sony HD cams using DivX compression.

Some good ol’ fashioned Canadian Shield up there. Wanna try something different, try an adventure race….you’ll need a tredmill along with your bike…..

Heaps of tools neatly tucked away in the red
toolbox (see blurry photo). Unlike me, the tools are nicely organized and put away after use!

Ahhh…a cyclist’s sanctuary. This just raised the bar and probably cost me $20k in renovations. Thanks a lot!

In general agree. I’m not overly familiar with bike prices here in Aus (since haven’t bought a bike in a while). Here’s a pic of a bike I saw back in Canada last month at a shop. A top end fully spec’d out bike for $10k CAD (dura ace, zipp 303, etc)

What would the Aussie price be for this? I’m guessing $13k AUD? With exchange rate and 5% GST (not shown) this bike would equate to approx $11,750 AUD.

That car without the boom box and a couple of racks is perfect.
I’ve been using it for over a year for all sorts of cycling trips/racing.
The back seats go down easily for all your gear. My bike fits inside easily if you need to lock it away etc.
And the grunt gets you nicely warmed up for the race.
Station wagon is overkill IMO.
