Biking
I am determined to bike more this summer (like......at all. I never used my bike once last summer).
The weather is getting clear enough that it is starting to be an option, and I want to do even more going forward. I like biking....I just rarely bother to choose it as for my transportation needs.
I have a bike...that has sat in the garage for almost 2 years. Accordingly, I want to bring it in for a tune-up. This is where you come in. Where would you recommend for a good major overhaul. Front to back, everything, from taking out the bearings and cleaning them, to tuning the brakes, to....well, everything. Not far from home is a bonus, but I can get the bike in the car.
I plan to get a helmet (this is a big commitment on my part...I have always avoided them, stupid, yes, I know). I won't be biking to work, until after I move maybe, but I can certainly still use it more.
edit: $100 plus parts at http://www.cyclepower.ca
plus parts will be the trick....I am betting I will need some parts replaced. Still...they are very close to the queensway just off Kirkwood.

I get a tune up every year but it is included with the initial bike purchase so I don't know what it costs otherwise but I think a standard spring tune-up is about $40.
