Giant Ancaster

Before you head out for your next sunny midday loop, save these 3 rules to keep your ride safe and enjoyable:

❄️ 1. Insulated Bottle & Ice: Camelbak Stainless Steel Insulated bottles are the ultimate insulated option. Half a bottle of ice and cold water will have you enjoying cold refreshing water instead of warm tea your hold ride.

🐢 2. Check the Ego, Lower the Pace: Your heart rate will naturally be 5-10 beats higher in extreme heat. Drop your target pace by just 10-15% on the climbs—you'll save yourself from a massive bonk later on.

⚠️ 3. Watch for "Tar Snakes": Keep a sharp eye on the road surface. High temperatures melt the bitumen on older roads, creating slick, sticky patches that can cause your tires to lose traction in sharp corners.

The 2026 Tour de France kicks off in Barcelona today, and we are officially strapped in for three weeks of pure cycling chaos, legendary climbs, and unbelievable speed.

The Grand Départ is always unpredictable, but we want to know what your crystal ball says for the grand finale 3 weeks from now.

Who is your money on for the Maillot Jaune (Yellow Jersey) this year? Are we seeing total dominance, a massive upset, or a dark horse rising through the mountains?

(P.S. If watching the pros fly at 45km/h makes you realize your own road setup needs an upgrade... you know exactly where to find us this week.)

The all-new Advanced SL-grade composite frameset on the Revolt Advanced SL saves 176g over the previous generation. System-wide weight reductions including the WheelSystem and cockpit make it 288g lighter.

A 31% higher stiffness-to-weight ratio means faster acceleration, sharper climbing response, and more dynamic handling on technical terrain.

Happy Canada Day!

The shop doors are locked today because our entire team is out doing what we love most—exploring this beautiful country on two wheels.

Whether you're hitting the local trails, cruising the paved paths with family, or crushing a long road segment, we hope you're getting some pedal strokes in today.

Where is your holiday ride taking you? Tag us in your stories and photos out on the road—we want to see where you're riding!

We'll be back open tomorrow at our regular hours to help you keep those summer miles rolling. Have a safe and happy holiday, everyone! 🍁🚲

The all-new Revolt Advanced SL is the lightest and fastest gravel race bike Giant has ever built—engineered from the ground up for elite competition.

Built on our Total Speed System philosophy, the Advanced SL-grade composite frameset, Contact SLR XR Integrated Handlebar, WheelSystems, and GXR 45mm tires were developed together as a single race-ready platform.

And just like that, Bike Month is a wrap! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the shop, shared their rides, and kept the community moving.

Heads up: We will be CLOSED tomorrow for Canada Day, so come grab your last-minute tubes and supplies today before 5:30 PM!"

School is officially out for the summer! ☀️ Keep the kids safe while they cruise the neighborhood. Bring their bikes by for a quick brake check, and make sure their helmets still fit properly (remember the 2-V-1 rule ... 2 fingers above the eyebrows, V where the straps meet under the ears, and 1 finger between the strap and chin ). We have a fresh shipment of kids' helmets in stock.
