I think Foster&#8217;s is a good place to get a bike.</p><p>I didn&#8217;t always think that. A few years ago you used to have to haul your bike down the stairs to the service department, where indifferent bike mechanics just wished you would go away. I blogged about that on <a
href="http://www.robink.ca/blog/unstealable-bike-stolen/">March 25, 2007.</a></p><p>It&#8217;s different now. They&#8217;ve moved the service department upstairs, and they deal with repairs promptly; you can get a tuneup while you wait, unlike the place where I got my bike &#8212; Tommy &#038; Lefebvre &#8212; where you always have to leave your bike for at least a week.</p><p>Judy&#8217;s new bike is a Raleigh with 8-speed hub gears and a step-through frame. It&#8217;s nice. If you need a bike in Centretown you could do worse than Foster&#8217;s.</p><p><img

It was locked to a wooden porch rail. They broke the rail to get it.</p><p>Death to bike thieves!</p><hr
