Last year we tried to add a “C” group to the OBB Victoria Saturday ride, but it had too much overlap with the regular ride and got confusing. This year we’re taking a new approach and starting a more relaxed ride on Sundays. Led by shop ambassador Joe Gard, the focus of the Sleepy Sunday...
The Purist is our favourite water bottle. Carry hot soup one day and water the next, no weird tastes or staining. Specialized claims it was inspired by the low surface tension of the lotus plant, and made by using a silicon-oxygen layer (not silicone, silicon) on the inside… all we know is that it works,...
Some legit grom shredding from Max at Tzou. Riding starts at 0:45. Good taste in computer backgrounds too. As seen on ONLY MTB.

Here’s a great photo by Brandon (I think) of Tom Skinner en route to winning the 2012 Blubber Burn. Full race report on Stuckylife.

Most of us are fed by a pretty steady diet of all the regular cycling sites, like Pinkbike, NSMB, Cycling News, Velonews, Canadian Cyclist, & Vital MTB,...
The road & cross bikes of the Oak Bay Bicycles staff are all pretty different—everything from a beat old Surly Crosscheck to a 15 lb Ridley Helium—, but they almost all share one similarity: Lizard Skins DSP 2.5mm bar tape. It’s not cheap, but it feels amazing, is fairly light, and survives multiple wraps very...
Oak Bay Bicycles and Lavan Apparel are excited to announce Team Oak Bay Bicycles – Lavan for 2012. To get things started right, we shot a little promo video of Jarrett Moore and Joe Esnouf shredding some local trails. The weather, bikes and cameras all came together and we had a great time shooting this....
