I thought about it but I couldn't get enough information on how practical that is on the North Saskatchewan. It's pretty deep in places and when the water is high it's deep everywhere.

The bicycle idea came to me one day while I was reading about folding kayaks. Once I found the article about the two guys on the Bow River I got hooked on that idea.

I'm snobishly self sufficient hehehe. I could never let anybody drive me somewhere so I could paddle back. And I'd never leave my car somewhere so I had to go retrieve it later.

Plus with a bike and a folding canoe it makes urban portaging a fun detour instead of a chore.
