How Efficient is the Bicycle??

How many ways can we save money by using our bikes?  How many ways can we enhance the environment (physical and emotional) through cycling?  We'll begin answering these questions on our BLOG.  Here's one:

Simply put, ride a bike--IT'S BETTER!
Saves gas, feels better, improves health, enhances relationships.

Spring Arriving!!!

Hopefully ALL were able to get out this past weekend!  As I was around town, I saw TONS of cyclists, families, friends etc. enjoying a Pre-Spring day.
One plea from me:  As you are out there, enjoying your two wheeled time, HELP A FELLOW CYCLIST.
Take time to see if folks need to raise their saddle, pump up tires, straighten handlebar, etc etc.
Many LOVE to ride bikes, but don't get to as often as we do.  When they DO take time to ride, their bikes have been sitting/jostling around the garage for FAR TOO LONG.  Help them enjoy the ride, they'll come back more often.

GOAL? Every American on a bike, 3 times per week.
You were helped at some point in your journey, Pay It Forward.

What if it rains on Saturday?

Rainy day blues?  Come on down to the shop anyway! We have lots of ways to handle a rainy day.

You can ride inside! That’s right. We have a training room. You could bring your stationary trainer and catch a ride indoors. (We can rent you a trainer if you don’t have one.)

How about riding the Computrainer? This is a computer driven training tool.  The computer adjusts your load to simulate real world conditions.  You are cued with a very realistic video display, and you ride pre-loaded courses.  A wealth of data is displayed, including power, speed, cadence, climb grade, and heart rate data.

For $30 per hour, we can set your bike up on the Computrainer system. You can choose from a wide variety of courses, such as Assualt on Mt Mitchell, IronMan Coeur d”Alene, IronMan Kona, or Tour de France stages, and many more.  A great workout is assured.

Ever wanted to learn to ride rollers? They provide an outstanding workout, and will smooth your technique wonderfully. Give us a call. A one hour lesson, for $75 is all you need to acquire this skill.

Or just come in and say, “Hi!” We’d love to see you, rain or shine.
