COMOX, B.C. --
A professional mountain biker in Nanaimo has paid tribute to the Canadian military’s Buffalo aircraft and the search and rescue team members that fly them.
Reece Wallace can be seen in a YouTube video custom-building his new Giant Reign Advance Pro 29, which has become an instant hit with bike lovers.
“People are pretty blown away by it,” Wallace says. “It really pops. There’s not many yellow bikes out there and it really stands out.”
The bike rider, who’s also a private pilot, first got the idea for the project when he was refueling his aircraft at the Tofino airport and saw one of the de Havilland DHC-5 aircraft land there.
