Extreme Weather Frequency A Key Test In Climate Change

Hybrid Road Bike Image

A huge and complex weather system covered much of Ontario last Thursday. Low pressure, centred over Lake Superior near Sault Ste. Marie, directed warm and humid air into southern Ontario. Conditions triggered intense lightning, major downpours with local flooding and a number of tornadoes.

An 11-year-old boy was killed by flying objects during the storm near Owen Sound.

In Vaughan, part of the urban sprawl north of Toronto, at least 200 houses had structural damage related to one tornado. Other tornadoes caused spotty damage in other locations. It is remarkable that no loss of life happened in this situation and tornadoes in other communities.

Meanwhile, in our region, the same low was responsible for unseasonably cool temperatures, brisk winds and in many locations, about 24 hours of continuous rain. In other words, a great day to stay indoors.

Schwinn Bikes Go Big In The UK For 2012… & Not Just Cruisers

Written by | Thursday, 01 January 1970

Hybrid Road Bike Image

Now based in Madison, Wisconsin and owned by the Canadian Dorel Group that has also successfully rebooted the Cannondale name over the last few years, Schwinn is launching 20 bike models under the urban, fixie, cruiser, hybrid and road categories... There will be a tiny amount of overlap with the existing brands, in the less expensive road racers of Cannondale and the singlespeeds of Charge but the main excitement is in the funner bikes for which Schwinn has a peerless reputation. Schwinn will be available through specialist bike shops, likely to be the same dealerships that sell the brands of Cycle Sports Group, the subsidiary of Dorel that also owns Cannondale, GT and Charge. You want one, don't fight it. Expect they'll have to fit a front brake to make the Corvette street legal but let's face it. along Bournemouth seafront where this is going, it won't need a front brake - okay maybe given all the cycling 'prom wars'... Schwinn, the brand from Chicago that with the Sting Ray launched a million imitators including our own dear Raleigh Chopper will now get better distribution in Britain alongside stablemates Cannondale, GT and Charge.
