A few months back I wrote an article about "Born Again Bicycles". What about something with a bit of local flavour? Have you ever gone north of Taber on highway #36? You might come across this scene:
 
There were years of driving by and thinking "I got to stop sometime". Lonnie, owner of Ascent Cycle, his son, James and I went on a road trip this fall and finally checked it out.
"R. Petrie. Bike Repair" and "R. Petrie. Bike Man" are signs that greet you as you pull up to the yard with delapitated buildings and small collection of bikes in the front. "R" for Richard Peterie, a Santa Claus impersonator (no really... he has been Santa in previous years at various local venues) who has a passion for collecting bikes. Obsession more correctly.
The back yard is littered with piles of old frames, and bikes from years before. It can be hard to negotiate the yard with out tripping on some bikes overgrown by grass and shrubs. There are piles of parts, rims and frames. Piles. If you are looking for a cool project bike or restoring a classic you need to check this place out. One catch... Richard may no want to part with the bike. Many of the items we looked at were "not for sale" or "I'm keeping that one". His collection leads to an assortment of custom "bikes": bikes with tractor wheels, bedframe bikes, pseudo-plane bikes... "frankenbikes".
 
Don't discount these franken bikes though. Mr. Petrie has taken these bikes across the country and into the US to particpate in various parades and events. When his one son was six years old he biked across Canada while Richard rode a frankenbike. How many of us have ridden across the country?
Check it out next time you go through Taber.
R. Petrie
Bike Man. Bike Repair.
