I know 68style has relatively quickly found himself a family doctor since moving to Calgary. But the impression I'm getting from just following the news and reading stuff online seems to suggest the healthcare provider situation is worse in Alberta than it is in BC.

Of course, GS8 is able to give them some first hand info on the issue, so obviously I won't pretend to be the expert here.

It's mostly luck based (in both provinces). There are many people in AB who found a doctor relatively quick (particularly up north).

I wouldn't worry about what the media is saying. Sometimes, it's as simple as driving around and seeing signs, or reaching out to community groups for some leads.

This site is great to point you in the right direction but obviously due dillegence is good, because you want your family doctor to actually be good!

But you can still judge them for their spandex padded shorts, and 8$/per titanium bolt for their stem and cranks. (So they can brag about how light their bike is)

Is the hole for a dildo?

spoon.ek9 09-29-2025 09:14 PM

air cooling for your sack?

if you're gonna pull up to serious cyclists with that seat you might as well be wearing spanx with the words WIDE LOAD written across them :lol

It's to relieve a pressure point. If there's no cutout you can get penile numbness.

This brand is infamous for their saddles cut outs and shapes.

funny u mention this. i window shopping wheels and these wheels cost more than volk te37... but on the bright side, u only need 2.

unit 09-30-2025 08:42 AM

i def get numbness down there if i'm sitting too long and not getting out of the saddle. cutout or not, it happens. especially on the bike trainer where you never get off the saddle like you would at a stop light or whatever like you do irl

Princeton & Lightweight Wheels would like to say, 'Hold my beer!'

These are the entry level Lightweights, on sale from $6900 to $5200, 'good buy' :lol - https://veloholiccycles.com/collecti...cb82f90b&_ss=c

Top of the line Lightweight wheels ... $15K.

This is why this is a great hobby for baddyhobz!

Badhobz 09-30-2025 09:03 AM

This is horseshit. I’m gonna get a EV Vespa and ride in front of these spandex clowns while eating a fried chicken leg

whitev70r 09-30-2025 09:17 AM

Bro, never even knew that Vespa ventured into EV ... how much is range and how much $$ start? Would be a pretty cool toy.

Badhobz 09-30-2025 09:20 AM

I don’t know but it comes with free comments about your sexuality and middle fingers from all other motorcycle riders.

Traum 09-30-2025 09:44 AM

They don't seem to sell the Vespa EV here yet, but the other day I saw an Evoque e bike that legit looks like a sports bike:

https://ebikes.evoqueca.com/products...c-sports-ebike

https://ebikes.evoqueca.com/cdn/shop...ef37b1d484.png

But 4 - 8 hours charge for 130 - 200km range @ Cdn $8 - 10k doesn't sound all that impressive though.

It's estimated to be in the $9K - $12K range.

Range will probably be trash just like their products.

I want one.

spoon.ek9 09-30-2025 10:51 AM

I need some sort of solo EV pod that I can commute to work with on the sidewalk lol. Something small enough that I can get away with parking it in the bike locker :lol

Badhobz 09-30-2025 11:19 AM

who says they are not here?! its been here for a long time now

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...9-a05a4da717a9

you can get these lousy things for cheap, nobody wants them.

68style 09-30-2025 12:44 PM

Almost half price in Calgary even brand new!

whitev70r 09-30-2025 01:41 PM

oooh, let's go test drive that one on Clark Street , Vespa Metro !!

Spec said about 100 kms range, not bad!

Badhobz 09-30-2025 02:11 PM

Nobody wants these damn things cuz it’s like basically a 50cc Vespa. Aka too slow. The slowness makes it unsafe for commuting.

I’d take the big frame Vespa any day. 300cc, fast enough to pass people on the highway. Goes 120kph easily.

you know who the demographics are... everyone who don't have time to take a motorcycle license community.
heck when i did my license at Action motorcycle in the 2000s, 1/2 the class would fail the road test. then the other half were harley riders who rode for years but no license.
with E bike... hell with it.. i just speed and go.

Now for the bike itself.. what people don't know is maintenance. After 2 years or so, rust woudl get to it and just die. parts are done.
Who woudl buy these? Uber.. they will just see it as cost of doing business and ride it till it dies and buy a new one.

Happens a lot in Toronto and man the salt and winter just rusts these things right now.

Need a full motorcycle license for anything over 50cc tho... that's a huge impediment to your average person who just wants to commute around

spoon.ek9 09-30-2025 02:25 PM

I bet some of those fan tuan delivery guys are driving slow ass electric ones. I've even seen some of them tape oven mitts to the handle bars to drive around during winter lol.
