Let Collingwood’s Historic Harbourfront Downtown surprise you… restaurants and cafes, boutiques and galleries All businesses are operating under the Covid 19 guidelines to keep everyone safe from the landfill; I just liked the coolness of them I guess. And the artistic value of them all. And then I just started collecting old bikes.” Now Backpeddling is a full-service bike shop, selling new and used bikes and servicing bicycles. But Foxall’s collection, at least the bikes he hopes to keep, go from Guelph to his barn in Grey County. So what are his favourite bikes? “I’d say CCM,” he says. “I’m all over CCM. I’ve sold so many really nice examples of CCM bikes, thinking I’d come across them again and that’s never happened. Time will tell. I’m still young; I may get my hands on them again. But that would be my only regret.” For now Foxall can be found in his barn, rearranging his collection, tinkering on the bikes he owns and searching for more. And contemplating actually riding them. “I need to ride my bike more,” he says. “I need to do what got me into this.” The only other question is, which one?
