Enjoy Memorial Day!


We hope you and yours have wonderful and safe rides on Memorial Day! As we enjoy the freedom of pedaling our bicycles over hill and dale, let's remember the men and women who serve and protect our great nation.

We will be open 12-5:00pm on Memorial Day

Join us for Our Shop Rides

One of the best ways to enjoy cycling is with other enthusiasts. We can help you learn the rules and find a group suited to your abilities and goals. We have TWO weekly shop rides:

Thursdays, 5:00pm: Out Meridian Ave towards the reservoirs, turn around at Calero

Saturdays, 7:00am: 30-35 miles at moderate speeds (15-18 mph) and hills

Meet at the shop with your bike, helmet, and fluids. You'll need lights for the Thursday rides for a few more weeks. Come by a little early and we can help you get set up. No drop rides, periodic re-groups.

Custom Build Bianchi

 To help you get started, we'll take 20% off the components of your project - you pay regular price on the frame and wheel set.

Today's Tip

Fly A Lot? Consider A Bike Travel Case - Are you a frequent flier? Consider purchasing a bike case. While these crates are more expensive than cardboard bike boxes, they offer more protection and can be used over and over. Additionally, they include wheels on the bottom for easier toting through airports. Plus, once you own one, you might recoup some of its cost by renting it to cycling friends who travel. And, think of how cool it will look stickered up with decals from all the far-flung destinations you've ridden in.
