MIKE’S BIKES IS ON-LINE TO SERVE YOU! Has anyone born during or after the close of WW II witnessed any health crisis like the current COVID-19 global pandemic? We are living in extraordinary and unprecedented times. Even during this COVID-19 pandemic, the bicycle is our ‘life-cycle’ because by riding it we are multi-tasking:... 1. accomplishing multiple health benefits (proven by studies carried out previously in both Europe and North America); 2. commuting to essential work-places, to carry out work deemed by law to be essential to the welfare of citizens, and 3. shopping for critical supplies, such as groceries, personal and household necessities, plus health-related products and pharmaceuticals, while 4. maintaining social distancing essential to eliminating the transmission of the coronavirus. In other words, riding their bicycle in accordance with the protocols established by our Public Health Agencies, is perhaps another way by which anyone can assist in fighting this disease (‘flattening the curve’), while going about their daily business and looking after their personal needs. Which would suggest that the more we ride our ‘life-cycle’, the more we are engaged in fighting this disease, for ourselves and others. Building durable bicycle wheels and maintaining them to optimum reliability is yet another way to keep our bicycles available to be ridden more, and our ‘life-cycle’ more effective, in our fight against this disease. MIKE’S BIKES is here to assist cyclists everywhere to ride their ‘life-cycles’ to fight this disease. MIKE'S BIKES’ reasonably-priced and effective Wheel Building and Repairing Services are available to assist cyclists to ride more often and longer, by building and maintaining their bicycle wheels. Do you need wheels built and/or repaired and your local shop happens to be closed? While quarantining measures are in place, MIKE’S BIKES can assist your observing social distancing while maintaining your ‘life-cycle’, by our on-line service. Contactless delivery is available when you order and pre-pay on-line through our PayPal platform, conveniently located in our web-site, www.spoketool.ca, under ‘Products and Services’, and by making arrangements on-line with commercial couriers for curb-side pick-up and return delivery. Please visit and contact us on our web-site, www.spoketool.ca, or by e-mail at [email protected], or text at 647.542.5058, to discuss your specific requirements.

But if, being happy requires a certain measure of peace, both in the world at large and in ourselves, then, for the New Year to be Happy, our best wishers to all for a Happy New Year must needs include also our hope for a measure of inner peace. What better way to enter into a state of inner peace in the New Year than to ride a bike? Cycling and the bicycle are a functioning, practical means (and method!) of working into a state of inner peace. Which would suggest that anything that is essential to maintaining the optimum reliability of one’s bicycle wheels, such as Mike’s Bikes spoke tools and/or Wheel Services, would be an important partner in the ride toward inner peace in the year ahead of us.

Optimum multi-tasking by riding our life-cycle to solve those problems requires that our bicycle wheels be well-maintained to optimum reliability.

Riding a bike is riding the dream of life. Ride, ride, ride your bike, gently down the street. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily to ride is b...ut a dream. Being alive is not mere existence but also living the dream of life: the joy of doing something we love for the sake of doing it, perhaps even for the sake of others. Ones life-cycle may be expressing the joy of being alive by simply riding ones bike, just for the sake of riding, perhaps even when we are very busy commuting to work, ferrying our children everywhere, cycling our groceries home, or meeting our friends. Whether riding our dream of life accomplishes any purpose (or none other than just to ride our bike), our life-cycle requires that our wheels be well-maintained for optimum reliability. Please view the demonstration video on our web-site, at www.spoketool.ca (or on this page). Youll see how our simple, effective, and reasonably priced spoke tools make it much easier to replace damaged or broken spokes, to help keep your bicycle wheels at optimum reliability and your life-cycle riding like a dream.

Worry does nothing but consume the worrier. By riding your bike, your life-cycle helps you replace the effects of worry on health with proven benefits: impr...oved self-esteem and mood, enhanced perception of happiness and satisfaction; but also improved levels of aerobic fitness, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, and breast cancer. Whether we ride our bike to commute to work, ferry our children everywhere, shop for groceries, or visit our friends, our life-cycle requires that our wheels be well-maintained for optimum reliability. Check out the demonstration video on our web-site, at www.spoketool.ca (or on this page), to see how our simple, effective, and reasonably priced spoke tools make it much easier to replace damaged or broken spokes, to keep your bicycle wheels at optimum reliability so that you will ride more and worry less.

Riding a bike is a medicinal life-cycle. Like any medicine, riding a bike helps our way of life to restore, improve, and maintain our health. Thats good news! Maintaining your bicycle and its wheels at optimum reliability is essential to obtaining the many health benefits of commuting by bike. Check out the demonstration video on our web-site (on this page or at spoketool.ca on the internet) to see how our simple, effective, and reasonably priced spoke tools make it much easier to replace damaged or broken spokes and help keep your wheels at optimum reliability.

Ride to live. The idea suggests cycling as a spiritual/mental discipline. The prevailing notions about cycling suggest that one rides a bike as a means to an end: to compete (racing), to get somewhere (commuting), or to deliver something (utility), but not always perhaps simply for the joy of riding a bike, or to win oneself. Whether we ride a bike as means to an end, as an end in itself, or to win ourself, our life-cycle requires well-built, stable, and reliable bicycl...e wheels for our bike. Check out the demonstration video on our web-site (at spoketool.ca on the internet...), to see how our simple, effective, and reasonably priced spoketools make it much easier and more convenient to keep your two-wheeled mobile device ready to help you ride in order to live!

Your bicycle is your mobile device that charges you! The more you ride your bike the more you are charged. Studies carried out in North America and Europe show the numerous benefits of commuting by bike: improved self-esteem and mood, enhanced perception of happiness and satisfaction, not to mention improved levels of aerobic fitness; reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, breast cancer; to get more out of your life, cycle! Check out the demonstration video on our web-site (at spoketool.ca on the internet...), to see how our simple, effective, and reasonably priced spoketools make it much more easy and convenient to keep your two-wheeled mobile device ready to help you charge your life!

This photograph should leave no doubts about the capacity of a bicycle wheel to carry heavy loads! Anyone commuting to work, ferrying children around, buying groceries, delivering cargo, or touring by bicycle likely wont have to carry such enormous loads; but properly maintaining your bicycle wheels is key to keeping them reliable and at optimum strength. Check out the demonstration video on our web-site (spoketool.ca) to see how our simple and reasonably priced spoke tools make it much easier to replace damaged or broken spokes and help keep your wheels at optimum strength.

This picture makes the point: a bicycle is its wheels! When purchasing a bike, buy the best wheels you can afford for your purpose. Theyre critical to a bike thats reliable, safe, efficient, and easy-to-ride, particularly if you want your bike for commuting, delivering goods and services, ferrying children everywhere, and/or touring. If the wheels arent working, theres no riding. Check out our web-site video at spoketool.ca., to view how our spoketools are an easier and cost-effective way to build and maintain bicycle wheels, repeatably, reliably, and consistently. Theyre inexpensive too!

With spoketools as part of your kit, you dont have to impoverish yourself to keep your bicycle wheels in top shape! They make replacing broken, old, and/or worn spokes easy to replace. Theyre reasonably priced too (only CDN$24.99. Check out our web site also, at spoketool.ca)!

Welcome to the first installment of thoughts du jour on spoketool.ca, since it was first published, one week ago today. Thank you so very much to everyone who has viewed and liked our page! So why use spoketool? Well, in summary, we believe that a small but important step toward utilizing the reliable bicycle for sustainable urban transportation would be to utilize the set of tools featured in our Facebook page, to make bicycle wheel building and maintenance easier an...d more efficient. Implementing small steps with seemingly unimportant, everyday things can influence much larger changes. Basically, the operative principle here is no bicycle wheel, no bicycle! The ubiquitous bicycle wheel is a small thing but essential because it makes a bicycle possible; well-maintained bicycle wheels are necessary to making a bicycle reliable transportation. Well be expanding on this theme in subsequent installments. Thanks for reading!

Watch this demonstration video to see how these innovative tools will assist the mechanic to transfer spoke nipples and lubricate spoke threads more easily, in less time, and without costly mistakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlYG5Ari6mQ
