I really dig American products, especially when one comes to cycling but lately I have been turned…read moreon to a couple of Canadian companies that I had not known that much about that have really impressed me, and this is one of them. I ride fixed bikes and as with many things, the particularities and details are often what takes a product from okay to amazing. I was riding my Fuji with Hold Fast straps which I was initially happy with. As time went on however, I found they became worn too easily and flopped around when I was trying to slip my feet into them. Some riders enjoy the metal or hard plastic toe clips, but I'm partial to nylon, so I was faced with only a few options. Walking home one day (the YNOT shop is a block from my building) I decided I'd go in and take a look. I hadn't realized I'd seen these straps around before and that this was their flagship store, but I had seen the pedal straps on display through the window before so I decided to take a look. I was blown away. First off, I like how simple they've made purchasing there. People sometimes forget about the beauty of simplified shopping. They have a stock of three or four Wellago plastic pedals. Not over the top, but a good clean simple pedal and it's $20! Totally fair price. Then they have about 15 colors of the standard strap, some leather ones (I do believe available in 5 different colors) and finally reflective designs as well (4-5 colors). They have bags, really sweet looking messenger and top open courier bags. Customizable and plenty pre-made designs in store. They have a few bikes, chain lube, a few tools and some cycle fashion and here's the best thing about it and a bit of an answer to my American loving consumerism: IT'S ALL MADE RIGHT HERE IN TORONTO! I've heard through them that they're fairly popular in Korea and Japan, and I've seen it on websites as well, but I think it's time that Torontonians and Canada as a cycling nation took notice too. Their products are of amazing quality. I will say the material for the bags feels a bit thin but it comes with a lifetime warranty and lighter is better and thicker material isn't always better so I think it'll hold up. I bought two pair of the standard pedal straps and have been very happy with them. Unlike the Hold Fasts, the YNOT's actually keep their shape, and are sturdier as well. They are easier to adjust and come in such a wide variety of colors that you can match them to any bike color out there. The price is very reasonable $49.99 for the standards up to $64.99 I believe for the leather straps, and they also all come with a lifetime warranty. The staff was very friendly and they even have a dog who hangs out in the shop (a note for you pet owners in case you're out strolling with your dog, it's a pet friendly atmosphere) and last but most definitely not least, it's so rare to find a REAL local shop that actually makes its stuff in Toronto and/or Canada. Totally worth going to see. YNOT indeed? GO!

Been playing beach volleyball for the last year and haven't gotten an authentic ball yet. We had…read moreoriginally purchased a cheap volleyball from Walmart but the stitches have started to come out after less than a year. Of course you get what you pay for. Went here as two acquaintances had only good things to say about Canuck Stuff. The prices for the official balls were also lower than places such as Sports Check etc. They sell anything related to volleyball, badminton, etc. The store was quite busy as there were a ton of people checking out shoes and other misc. things. One of the staff Mike was very helpful and helped me find the ball I needed. He asked if it's for outdoor beach and I had said yes. He actually recommended the Mikasa ball which our friend had told us about. I know there were a ton of outdoor beach vballs but we were already set on a particular one. The official Wilson AVP was $44.95. Places selling this usually charge up to $60 range. The price was low at Canuck Stuff as the ball comes flat and doesn't come in a box (they pump it up for you), but rather a light plastic bag to keep it clean & comes with a cloth bag. That's fine with me! Better for the environment. Mike was very patient and kind. Even though he was super busy, he took the time to find the ball as well as answer my questions. He also added a little extra air to the ball and later told me to let some out as it was to help with the shape since it had come inflated. Great service and product. We will definitely be back for any volleyball or badminton equipment. Parking might be tricky on a weekend but I was lucky and found a spot. The store is at the right end of the plaza.

Ideally I prefer to buy their clothes in Minnesota (no taxes on personal attire) when the Canadian dollar is strong but occasionally I do pick up something here or in other Canadian locations. The store in question is convenient, bright, well stocked and they do have a small sale section at the back. Honestly, each time I go in the people are really nice and very helpful. For example, I came in to buy a shoe lace a few months back, mine tore on the way in to downtown, and the manager just gave me one. I felt special all day! They open early and it is a pleasure to visit. Okay. Now I have convinced myself. I think I may buy more of their items this week!

So, I was driving up the QEW, about 3/4 of the way to Toronto from Buffalo, and I suddenly realized…read morethat I'd left my nice going out shoes at home. Whoops. I really couldn't wear hiking boots with my outfit to the concert I was heading to, so while I was eating breakfast with Lee, I weighed my options. There was Payless, which would be cheap, but maybe not the best selection. I remember hearing that DSW had opened some locations in Canada, so I figured I'd go with a store that I'm familiar with. So this place is precisely what like any other DSW is in the US. Men's shoes on the left, Ladies' on the right, clearance racks in the back, and various accessories and such all over. So if you've been to a DSW in the US, you know what you're looking for. Now, perhaps the expectation for some people is that "D" stands for Discount. This is sort of true and sort of not. If you want a deal, you look in the clearance racks. For the most part what is good about DSW is the variety of options and price ranges. It's not a warehouse full of cheap shoes. I ended up spending a good half hour looking for a pair that would feel good and look good with what I was wearing, and I made it out of the store for under $30 for a decent pair of shoes. So 3 stars for a bog-standard DSW experience. I was a little bit disappointed that my DSW card doesn't transfer across the border, that was a little disappointing considering other cards (like Costco) do. I don't want a separate card, I want the one I have to work!
