Cocktails in Calgary
 

This could be the big one, who really knows the effect that a surfiet of chuck waggons, cow thingies and cordite could have on innocent consumers of the local brew, do the looming mountains highten the experience? or has it rockall to do with it. Don't all stampede at once to postulate an answer but leave it until after the results of a proposed liquidly based experiment at a location and time to be decided by local HUBBers ideally between the 8th of June and the 16th of June in Calgary. All welcome, the wearing of academic caps and gowns or nuns outfits should only be considered if incarceration is not a problem. Ride safe.

Hey man - not sure I understand at all what you were trying to say..but I just moved to Calgary and am looking to meet some other riders! Id love to meet up some time for cocktails or something - let me know if your around.

Also Im trying to figure out how I can get my hands on a bike to ride for the 2 months Im here. Can a foreigner buy and register a bike easily? Im from the US!

Cheers,
Tim

Should be no problem. You just need:

1) Find and buy a bike - just get a bill of sale, can be hand written
2) Get Insurance
3) Take proof of insurance (fax or copy of temp insurance slips) to Registry (they are run privately in Canada so just google "Registry"
4) Go in with bill of sale, and insurance slips, and get a license plate and registration.
5) Pop the plate on your bike and you are good to go.

I recently did the reverse (Canadian in the US) and found there is a lot more red tape here in California then Alberta. Buyer beware though, make sure there are no leins on the bike, its not like the US where the seller will have a title, you have to check yourself. I would only check if spending more than $5,000.
