With the sun showing it’s happy face, and Irah on the rock for a couple days, we’re getting things ready for summer.
The biggest news is we’re refurbishing our kayak trailer. With Rob fabricating a new, 12 boat kayak rack out of aluminum for us, we decided to give the chassis some detailing. So today we stripped off all the old, crappy rack attachments; used the angle grinder to cut off all the extra hooks, bolts and sockets; ran a wire wheel over it and gave it a coat of paint. Once I get down there tomorrow to put another coat on, and Rob builds the rack, she’ll be like brand new! I’m so excited, cause I’ve been wanting to do this since we bought it second hand.
Keep an eye out for it fully loaded on the road this coming spring and summer!
The HST to be introduced in 2010 will remove the exemption that currently exists in the provincial sales tax for bicycles, repairs and cycling equipment like helmets.
In effect, this government is reversing decades of smart governing practice and creating a disincentive to cycling.
WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE GOVERNMENT REVERSE ITS CURRENT PLAN TO IMPOSE A NEW 7% TAX ON CYCLING.
