I've met and talked to the guy behind Velofix in Waterloo Region and I'd definitely recommend him for bike maintenance. He also does ski waxing etc. in the winter, so he might be an option for snowboards, too, though I don't know for certain one way or another.

Oh, very cool! Thanks - I've seen their van around in my neighborhood.

Since I started riding a road bike, I've learned a lot about changing tires. They're less forgiving than my big knobby mountain bike wheels. I still forget how my mini pump works though.
Oh, I've also figured out how to properly patch a tube, otherwise it would be even more expensive!

How often are you getting flats? It's a good idea to diagnose the cause of the flat if you can. If it's a puncture, you'll want to make sure that whatever caused it isn't embedded in your tire. If it's a pinch flat, you'll want to make sure you're inflating your tire sufficiently.

In indoor recreation news, Dickson Bowl is rumoured to be shutting down in May. I think that reduces the lanes in Waterloo Region to Towne Bowl, Frederick Bowl, iBowl in Galt and the Bingeman's alley.

The photos I've seen of the KW Titans games have made it seem like there was almost no one in attendance, sadly.

I am stoked. I think KW United averaged around 500 fans. But yeah, it's not great. There has been more interest this year though. So will be interesting to see.
I have high hopes for the CPL. It has big time backers in professional stadiums. If we get a team, it will be a great rivalry with Hamilton. This would be the highest level sport in the city by a significant margin and with Cup competitions winners could face both MLS teams and Liga MX teams.
United doesn't have fans, and has terrible marketing, but their on field product is very impressive.
