Hardcore Bikes
10008 82nd Ave., Edmonton, Alberta
http://www.hardcorebikes.ca/

Today’s Groupon: for $40, you get a professional bike tune-up (a $83.97 value) at Hardcore Bikes, located on 82nd Avenue.

Hardcore Bikes’ team of expert road warriors is adept at repairing any manner and make of two-wheeled chariot, from pragmatic city commuters to high-end road and mountain bikes. Known as a technical bike shop, Hardcore Bikes employs head mechanics schooled in the Barnett system of bicycle repair, which emphasizes carefully measured adjustments, as opposed to repairing by feel, which can result in improper service. During a professional tune-up, shifting, braking, and missile-deploying systems enjoy a full inspection and adjustment. A bicycle whisperer then restores wheels to proper alignment and checks to ensure spokes are in the right range. The hubs, headset, and bottom bracket, notorious attention seekers that they are, get an ego boost from thorough inspection. Finally, the mechanic inflates tires to the correct pressure and performs a safety check of all fasteners and cables.

No one tool works on every bicycle, as each one sprouts from its seed pod with natural irregularities, and to remedy this, Hardcore Bikes carries specialty tools for work on certain bike brands. The store is open Tuesday–Saturday, starting at 10 a.m.

True Balance
52 Sioux Rd., Suite 203, Sherwood Park, Alberta
http://www.mytruebalance.ca/

Today’s Groupon: for $119, you get one IPL photo rejuvenation session at True Balance (a $300 value) in Sherwood Park.

A medical-grade aesthetics clinic, True Balance roofs over a drove of seasoned practitioners that restore faces to their default settings with advanced façade-refurbishing technology. An IPL photo rejuvenation treatment ($119) dedicates up to an hour to reversing the weathering effects of the sun’s attempts to impress the oft-distant Pluto. After eye and nose placeholders are thoroughly swaddled with a pre-treatment cream, pulsing lights will frolic up and down skinscapes to balance complexions, smooth out dermal terrain, and tighten slumping facial posture. Photo rejuvenation also may improve age spots, acne scars, large pores, and fine lines. Unlike the beautifying treatments delivered in the boxing ring, photo rejuvenation can be received with little to no down time. Patients may experience mild reddening that typically fades away by the next day but may last up to three days.

Fresh Start Bistro
484 Riverbend Sq., Edmonton, Alberta
http://www.freshstartbistro.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $6, you get $12 worth of breakfast and lunch fare at Fresh Start Bistro, located on Riverbend Square.

Fresh Start Bistro’s made-from-scratch bread, pastries, and cakes are hand-shaped from small batches of dough lovingly leavened with frothy pre-fermented batter. Hungry stomachs can harness midday meat hankerings with the lunch menu’s Philly steak and cheese sandwich stuffed with succulent Alberta AAA beef ($9.99). An early morning taste tower of scrambled-egg scaffolding, bacon bricks, and cheddar cheese mortar tumbles into puckish patrons’ sinkholes when they order a breakfast croissant melt off the breakfast menu ($7.99), washing it down with a cup of coffee tapped from a gleaming chrome carafe. Languid finger-lickers can linger in the bistro’s sleek interior to listen to live music on Friday nights or defend their table territory by constructing castle crenellations out of freshly baked croissants.

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise
111 Lake Louise Dr., Lake Louise, Alberta
http://www.fairmont.com/lakelouise

Today’s Groupon: for $159, you get a one-night stay in a Fairmont room (up to a $329 value) at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, located in Banff National Park.

Founded in 1890, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise complements a breath-stealing outer landscape with a luxurious home base. Ensconced amid the cushioned depths of a king, queen, or two twin beds in a 165-square-foot Fairmont room, guests can recharge after a day of ice skating swishes, downhill-ski-slope swoops, and other alpine exertions. An indoor health club and the Mountain Heritage program’s guided outdoor tours—such as relaxing strolls around the lake to norepinephrine-extolling trips—round out the resort’s activity offerings. In the spa, a massage therapist’s talented talons can exile tension from stressed shoulders and burdened backs to time out in the fourth dimension, and the hotel’s seven dining venues can sate ample appetites with fresh, nutritionally balanced ingredients.

Out of respect for the stunning wilderness views and endangered yetis everywhere, half of Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise’s electricity comes from eco-friendly turbines spun by wind, river currents, and flocks of obedient hamsters, and the hotel dedicates a full-time environmental manager to its responsible-tourism and environmental-stewardship initiatives. If the furry friends that populate the surrounding woods aren’t enough to keep you company, the hotel hosts pets for an extra fee ($25/night). See the website’s dedicated Groupon page for more details.

Reviews
Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise has been featured in USA Today Travel and the Independent. More than 650 TripAdvisors give this resort an average of four owl eyes.

Ruby Dragon Restaurant and Lounge
10909 Jasper Ave. NW, Edmonton, Alberta
http://www.rubydragon.ca/

Today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of fine pan-Asian fusion cuisine and beverages from Ruby Dragon Restaurant and Lounge on Jasper Avenue Northwest.

Ruby Dragon’s stunning modern interior is an impeccable, glittering backdrop for the culinary alloy that is the restaurant’s union of Malaysian, Thai, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Indonesian cookery. The piquant crown of a menu is studded with such sparkling marvels as the spicy rainbow bird nest, where tiger prawns roost alongside chicken in a litter of veggies and potato ($18), or the lychee sweet-and-sour pork, an unlikely pairing of pork with its only natural predators, lychee and pineapple ($12). Overwhelmed chopstick jockeys may wish to ease into the action with one of the Dragon’s many appetizers, which include bacon-clad scallops ($8), indonesian satay ($2 each), green-onion puffs ($3.50), and a wide range of soups (starting at $4).

The chic lower dining area is an extravagant nebula of polished surfaces in classy orbit around a sparkling central sculpture. The upper dining area, which overlooks the adjoining crimson-accented lounge, is a cubist culmination of modernity and polished metals. Meanwhile, the multihued tearoom lets fluid fanatics quench their thirsts for a wide range of wines and Chinese teas amid gold statues and towering floral arrangements. The Ruby Dragon is closed on Sundays, and reservations are always recommended.

Five OpenTable reviewers give Ruby Dragon Restaurant and Lounge a 4.3-star average, and 83 per cent of Urbanspooners recommend it:

Tapas, like books, cars, and husbands, are designed to be shared with those closest to you. Indulge in the best of Spanish-style sharing with today’s Groupon to Bacchus Cafe & Wine Bar in St. Albert. Choose between the following options:

– For $17, you get $35 worth of dinner fare.
– For $10, you get $20 worth of brunch fare.

Bacchus Cafe & Wine Bar’s rotating menu complements the freshness of ingredients used, many of which are sourced from local suppliers. Visitors rest in a vibrant, art-filled space, lounging like child princes on couches and stools while enjoying delectably prepared tapas. Evening diners nosh on light items, such as an herb-crusted, Italian-style sardine ($6), oven-baked between crusty bruschetta and melty mozzarella, or a truffle oil-kissed mushroom and spinach crostini ($13). Meat-seeking taste buds pen four-verse love-raps for the calamari, prawn, and chorizo, served with sautéed onion, garlic, and peppers ($15), or the spice-marinated bison meatballs, bursting with mozzarella and baked in tomato sauce ($17).

The eatery’s brunch menu proffers intrameal eats, such as a veggie-filled frittata ($8) and an open-faced chicken sandwich, garnished with tomato, pesto, and feta on olive bread ($9). An extensive wine list traverses New and Old World locales like a dizzy conquistador, with wines such as a Pelee Island gewurztraminer ($7 for 4 oz.) and an Argentinean Joffre Passion malbec ($7 for 4 oz.) making the cut.
