Finally – the shaving proof!
What can save you as much time on a cycling course as having the most aerodynamic bike frame?
No, you didn’t guess it. It’s actually a $2 razor! Read the details here …
So listen, believe, get the razors out and cycle faster!
Numb hands?
Here are some tips on how to avoid this …
And while you are at it, throw in some yoga stretches in the mornings!
End of 2014 season …
It looks like we have finally reached freezing overnight temperatures and the 2014 cycling season might be over … If occasional Sundays are sunny and warm enough to ride, by all means, come to the Bean Scene at 10am on Sunday and see who else shows up! It might be warm enough for a short outing ….
Our Wednesday rides ceased a while ago when it got too dark too early to make it worthwhile.
See you all in 2015, or on the cross country ski trails!
If you can’t make it to the mall today …
… please review the City of Kelowna information about their walking and cycling plan online, and share your thoughts there.
NEW START TIME from October 19
Starting October 19, we will be leaving the Bean Scene Headquarters on Dickson Road at 10am!
Yes, it’s getting a bit cooler in the mornings. But with an extra layer, the riding is still wonderful and the fall colours amazing!!
Public Information Session October 18 – Please share your thoughts!

Still going strong …
We are continuing the Sunday morning rides throughout October … weather permitting! We are not known to “toughen it out” in the rain so if the roads are wet, it is more likely we will come for coffee and leave the bike at home. But on sunny fall mornings, we are keen to keep going until it gets too cold. Last Sunday we had a great ride!
Start at 9am from the Bean Scene on Dickson Road.
What you may need for fall riding is listed here.
The mistakes you should avoid are shown here.
And WHY WE RIDE.
