Last weekend we went for a sunny bike ride to Steveston, a historic salmon canning town located in Richmond, BC.

A Springtime bike ride in VancouverPosted by: naomi @ 7:17 pm in diy refinishing, moving things |
It’s been grey, bleary and cold this past week in Vancouver, so when the sun peeked out for a brief moment today, we took our newly fixed up bikes out for a spin on the Stanley Park Seawall. With over 8.8 km (5.5 miles) of oceanfront trails, it was the perfect place to take them for a mid-afternoon ride.

Here’s Naomi’s bike ready to ride for Spring. It’s not completely fixed the way we want it yet, but so far we’re happy with the way it looks and rides.

CCM bike progress updatePosted by: ryan @ 12:05 am in diy refinishing, moving things |
Many months have passed and I’ve finally put most of the bike back together. One thing I haven’t the chance to do is clean and install the chain guard and fenders. There’s lots of work still yet to be done!

The bike in peicesPosted by: ryan @ 11:49 pm in diy refinishing, moving things |
I finally got a chance to pull the old CCM Rambler apart. After wiping it down, it’s in better shape then I first thought. The first thing that I did was pull the wheels off to see what I could salvage. Continue reading »

1940’s CCM Rambler: My new summer bikePosted by: ryan @ 8:22 pm in moving things, vintage finds |
A few weeks ago I mentioned a bike in my post about vintage theater seats. Well, here is that bike. After tracing the serial number, I discovered that it is a 1941 CCM Rambler and is similar to the one currently on display in the Canadian Science & Technology Museum in Ottawa. It needs some work, but I’m looking forward to getting it rolling this summer.

A Revolutionary BicyclePosted by: ryan @ 1:20 pm in reviews, vintage finds |
It’s nearing the end of December and while the weather conditions certainly aren’t ideal for riding a bike, I can’t help but to think of what bicycle I should get to ride along with Naomi in the Spring. I recently bought her a 1960s Dutch Bike. Wanting a matching one, I spent weeks searching but couldn’t find anything within my budget. Dutch bikes from Batavus and Jorg & Olif usually run between $700-$1500. Researching some more, I stumbled across a phenomenal blog by Jeff Stracco, an American Expat, who writes about bicycles in China.

Vintage Dutch Locomotief city bikePosted by: naomi @ 12:31 am in moving things, vintage finds |
I am so excited to blog about this. On Saturday we went down to Seattle to do some Christmas shopping and look at a bike. I know it’s the winter, but it’s also the best time to buy bikes because people either sell them or store them until next year. After scouring Craigslist for a vintage Dutch bike, Ryan came across this one – it’s a Locomotief from the 1960s and ain’t she a looker!
