Keith, a year 'round cyclist does some maintenance on his winter bike - like removing the battery powered strip lights wound around the bike's frame. Those lights must have looked great on Saturday's "Brite Lite Winter Nite Bike Ride"!

Here are two hardcore cyclists on their way home from a week of maintaining the Great Divide Trail. Lani in the front has four full panniers and is wearing a backpack while Dave in the rear has a backpack, two panniers and is pulling a B.O.B. trailer full of gear.
Among other things, these guys are carrying paint, paint brushes and a chainsaw with fuel.

Smiling like a Cheshire cat, Robert, a year 'round cyclist, poses with his bike before beginning his shift at the northern location of Edmonton's oldest community bike shop.
Robert proudly showed me how clean his drive train was after installing a mudflap on his front fender.  He encouraged me to make one of my own by handing me a milk carton and a pair of scissors.

Without a wide enough lens it was necessary to tilt the camera to get both Andreas (pronounced undress) and his Japanese commuter bike into the frame.  It seems that Andreas bought this particular set of wheels at this bike co-op and with only a small amount of repair, it has turned into one of his favourite bikes.

A year 'round cyclist, Phil is proud of his Canadian (and union) made Rocky Mountain which he has maintained beautifully for a number of years.  While it does get pretty dirty in the winter, Phil does manage to keep it spotless.

These two Dutch cyclists have been on the road for two and a half weeks having started their bike trip in Calgary.  Their flight from Amsterdam landed at the C.I.A, (Calgary International Airport) and they unpacked their bikes, slung on the panniers and hit the road.

Their plan was to cycle to Vancouver and then fly back home.  Speaking of home - the first thing that John said was "Holland is very flat.  Canada has a lot of hills!"

Metro and Moses

M and M (Metro and Moses) were hanging out behind the stage at W.C.S.  Musicians were busy hauling gear up and down the stairs behind the two of them for the gig which was to start at 12 noon.

Metro and Moses are frequently at the square whenever there is something special going on.  I have a picture of the two of them from 5 years ago during "A Taste of Edmonton".  I think Metro was wearing the same shirt.  Although I'm guessing he has washed it since then!
