If you plan on taking part in any outdoor activities this spring and summer, it's important to have the right gear. Fortunately, here in the city we have many fine sporting goods outlets that sell everything you need, no matter what your preference is: cycling, jogging, rollerblading, fishing, or even just sitting outside soaking up the rays.
Bike riding is a very popular activity, both off-road and commuting. Most Edmontonians I find ride mountain bikes to help get over all that gravel and up those steep hills. The Hardcore Mountain Bike Store sells and services mountain bikes of all kinds, as does Western Cycle. To some people, getting outside means only one thing: golf. Wayne's Custom Golf Clubs and Repairs is a unique service that can help extend the life of your clubs, or offer you custom made ones that fit your game. Maybe you would like to just take a walk through the ravines, river valley, or parks to check out some of the beautiful wildlife habitats in the city. The WildBird General Store offers a wide variety of supplies for new and experienced bird-watchers. For those of you into activities that are a little bit more adventurious, try Scotty's Specialty Services for all of your go-kart needs. Cycleworks specializes in all-terrain vehicles and personal watercrafts for those of you who are a bit more daring. Safety is the key here -- the expert sales staff can help you out in terms of getting lessons and instructions.
