Spoke & Sproket Haunted Ride for MS

Get ready for a haunted outdoor adventure! On Saturday, October 26th, Spoke & Sprocket staff and volunteers will transform a local path into a spooktacular haunted hallowe’en experience – on wheels! Expect zombie cyclists, witches, ghosts, and harmless frights along the way. Hallowe’en has always been a favourite holiday of Mike and Jenn, owners of the popular bicycle repair shop located at 1890 Hyde Park Road. Mike’s Aunt Shirley had suffered terribly and passed away from Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and so the couple looked for ways to fundraise for research to fight the disease. Cyclists (all welcome!) will meet at Woodcock Street, just west of Mallard, for a safety check (helmets mandatory!), make a goodwill donation towards MS, and then enjoy a short ‘spooktacular’ ride along Pumpkinseed Pond to North Routledge at Blue Heron.

down on the side of the road is not only frustrating but also puts your safety at risk! Upon request, we can check your brakes, battery, suspension, engine oil, fluid levels, tire pressures, tire life, lights, cabin filters, air filters, belts, and windshield wipers. These are all crucial components in safe winter driving. Winter tires are crucial for safety and performance during cold, icy, and snowy conditions. Look for the peaked mountain with a snowflake symbol when shopping for winter tires. Tires marked with this symbol meet specific snow traction performance requirements and have been designed specifically for use in severe snow conditions. At temperatures below 7°C, all-season and summer tires begin to lose elasticity, leading to less traction. Winter tires keep their elasticity and grip at much lower temperatures. Investing in winter tires is an investment in safety. They can make the difference between a safe winter journey and a potentially dangerous one. While they may seem like an additional expense, the peace of mind and improved control they offer on winter roads are priceless, making winter tires an essential purchase for anyone facing cold and snowy conditions. Call or email us today at Neighbourhood Auto Plus so we can do our part in keeping you and your family safe!
