Calgary Mountain Biking

Carolyn here, Rob's Marketing Specialist. I know most of our posts are directly Real Estate Related (and that they should be) but today something more Calgary Related is on my mind: Calgary, and Transportation.

For those of you out there who don't drive, or who choose not to drive, you probably agree that Calgary's transit system isn't too shabby. It gets you from point A to point B in a reasonable amount of time, moreso if you are taking the C-Train downtown to work and back.

Then, there are those of us who walk or bike to work every morning. I have to admit, I'm a fair-weather biker - as soon as the temperature dips below 10 degrees celcius, its time to leave the bike behind and take something with an engine/motor to the office.

I have always admired the Calgarians I see out and about, even when it is -20, they somehow manage to pedal themselves to work. How they do it is beyond me. (If you're asking "Why would ANYONE want to bike in the winter", click here: http://www.icebike.org/whybike.htm)

I guess curiosity has gotten the better of me - and I plan on trying out the whole winter biking in Calgary thing. I'll let you all know how it goes!
