Trek Bicycle Burlington nabs Ontario ‘best bike business' honour
A Burlington bicycle shop is on the Ontario By Bike 2025 list of best Ontario bike businesses. Trek Bicycle Burlington store manager Chris Segato said the store has operated in its current location for about three years. Segato said the store was previously known as Neworld Cycle for 30 years in Burlington, before it was sold to Trek Bicycle. He said the recognition 'speaks to the credibility of our staff.' Segato said Trek currently employs nine full and part-time staff, including avid cyclists, with experience in the bike industry, interested in supporting customer purchases and goals whether they are high-end racers, or just want to cycle local trails. 'We want everyone feeling wanted, heard and appreciated,' Segato said. More information on Wisconsin-based Trek Bicycles is available on the company's website . The store-specific web page includes the 560 Plains Rd. E. location's hours and contact information. The non-profit organization Transportation Options operates Ontario By Bike and annually recognizes bike businesses like bike stores and bike-friendly businesses like coffee shops, attractions and accommodations. One business is recognized in each category, by provincial tourism regions including Hamilton-Halton-Brant — where Trek Bicycle Burlington got a nod this year. It was the only Halton region business on the list this year. The full list of this year's winners across Ontario, and annual lists back to 2019, are available on the Ontario By Bike website . Louisa Mursell, executive director of Transportation Options, said Ontario By Bike works with a variety of partners to develop and promote cycling and cycle tourism across Ontario. 'Administering a network of over 1,656 certified bicycle friendly businesses and providing a comprehensive portal of information, Ontario By Bike is inspiring visitors and residents to explore more of the province by bike,' Mursell said. Mursell said the 1,656 businesses certified as 'bike friendly' within Ontario By Bike's network have the opportunity to nominate themselves, or be nominated by cyclists, for a bike friendly business award each year. The certification criteria for various types of businesses is available on the Ontario By Bike website. Mursell said Trek Burlington was selected as best bike business in Hamilton-Halton-Brant because:

Mads Pedersen Wins Giro Stage 13 As Isaac Del Toro Extends Lead
Last Updated: Mads Pedersen won the 13th stage of the Giro d'Italia, holding off Wout van Aert in a thrilling finish. Mads Pedersen won the 13th stage of the Giro d'Italia on Friday as Isaac Del Toro maintained his lead in the battle for the overall title. Lidl-Trek rider Pedersen burst to victory in the final few hundred metres, holding off Wout van Aert in a thrilling end to a punchy 180 kilometres of riding from Rovigo to Vicenza. 'I went a bit earlier than I really wanted to, but on such a hard uphill final like this, sometimes it's okay to go early because everyone has burning legs the last 100 meters," said Pedersen. 4 wins at the @giroditalia looks good on you @Mads__Pedersen 🤩 — Trek Bicycle (@TrekBikes) May 23, 2025 Pedersen claimed his fourth stage of this year's Giro while wearing the sprint jersey, closing in on the six wins Tadej Pogacar racked up on his way to triumph at last year's edition of the Italian Grand Tour. 'I'm just happy with this one and adding another 50 points to the 'ciclomino' (sprint) jersey, so let's see how it goes," added Pederson. 'It's still far to Rome, but now I'm just overwhelmed about winning again." Del Toro came in third and leads his UAE teammate Juan Ayuso by 38 seconds in the general classification, extending the gap over his title rivals. Christian Scaroni was the last of the breakaway riders to be eventually caught with 10km left, on the second of two laps to Vicenza, setting up an engaging finale with a tough climb at the finish. Romain Bardet made a bold attack with 9km to go, pulling fifteen seconds away alongside Pedersen's teammate Mathias Vacek. Both were caught in the final kilometre by the peloton, and Pedersen rocketed away from the pack on a tough final climb to the line. Saturday's 14th stage is another largely flat run from nearby Treviso, 195km to Nova Gorica across Italy's border with Slovenia. A 16km climb awaits the overall pretenders on Sunday, albeit 20km from the finish line, but it will provide a hint of what is to come in the final week. The time gaps across the top 10 riders should be shaken up from stage 16 with five monster climbs and a summit finish as the 21-day marathon enters the Alps. This is followed by another mountain run that is an invitation to the downhill daredevils with two huge descents on stage 17. The decider might be stage 19 with another five-mountain slog, while day 20 has a giant 18.5km climb at a 9.5 per cent gradient to over 2000m altitude. Team UAE's Ayuso and Del Toro have time, youth and a strong posse in hand, but four former winners are lurking with intent. Pure climber Simon Yates of Visma is only 42 seconds behind Ayuso, but Richard Carapaz of EF, Primoz Roglic of Red Bull and Egan Bernal of Ineos all have impressive records on their side too in a wide-open final week.
