At the beginning of every bike season, it's important to make sure your bike is in good working condition. Fixing small problems and doing general maintenance can avoid hassle, headache and big problems that can cost a lot later. 

February might not feel like the right time to get your bike ready, but it can be an excellent time to figure out what you need, so you can order parts, source accessories or tools or learn how to do things before the rush of spring: do the work now, and you won't have to wait to get on your bike once spring arrives! See our maintenance page for great resources to get you started. 

February can also be a great time to seek out professional help, as a number of bike shops offer winter specials and all of them should have a quick turn around time: why wait when you can save money and get your bike back quickly? 

Shops that have advertised winter specials: 

• B & P Cycle
• Ridley's Cycle
• Bike Bike
• Vitasport Cycles
• Bow Cycle

Other shops may have deals, too, so don't hesitate to ask. See the maintenance page for a list of bike repair shops. 

Religious headwear, such as the patka, can interfere with the use of a helmet, forcing a choice between religion and safety. One Ontario mom set out to change that.

Cyclists operate vehicles, but we don't consider them "drivers"; when a road is "closed", it's only autos not allowed. Has "car culture" made us think differently?
