Cycle Canada's long term RS had a bunch of problems with starting.  I
think it turned out to be a corroded connection somewhere, once found
and quickly fixed the bike was fine.  I may eventually find the issue
again if you want me to search, but I had to tear the house apart in a
cleaning frenzy for a party (my girl turned 2!) so it's sure to be at
the bottom of a big pile somewhere.
