The cold weather months can be particularly muddy, salty and can effect the most sensitive parts of your bike. Give some extra care to your gears, chain, cables, hubs and bottom bracket. Wash regularly and check for wear on rims and brake blocks as wet weather can be rough on these areas.

Use your short-billed cycling cap to protect against sun or rain. Flip it around to protect your neck or invest in a heavy-duty cold weather cap that includes ear flaps!

Happy Holidays! Our hours this week: 12/23 10-2, 12/24 10-2, 12/25 Closed, 12/26 11-5.

When prepping for a cold weather ride you may feel the need to overdress. Resist the urge! You may start out cold for about 10 minutes but you’ll find that you warm up easier than you thought. Experiment with proper layers so that you don’t overheat!

If you don’t want gunk in your face, water bottle or all along your back, mudguards are a must in the cold weather months! Also, as a courtesy to anyone riding directly behind you!

The winter is coming and as some of you might hang up your bike in garage and wait for spring, the others cycling throughout the year need to get ready and dress well for the cold days.

Clean your bike after each ride. Having a squeaky clean bike will help keep your brakes, gears, chains and cassettes, and tires like new. Having a fresh eye on your parts will also help you see small problems before they become an issue.

Cycling among the beautiful changing leaves is priceless! But as it starts to cool down, it's good to know what you'll need to stay warm and cozy during those long autumn rides.

Just wanted to send a big thank you to all of those who supported us this year. 2300 work orders and still counting.

Understand the sensitivity of your bike's gear cogs. Right = Rear, Left = Front. Use different gears for comfort at different speeds and elevations. The average should be about 90 RPM (revolutions of the crank per minute) on flat road and 70 RPM whilst climbing.

Bring food and water! Drink two to four 16-ounce bottles of per hour. Stick to simple snacks high vitamins and protein for food. Eat 1-2 hours before you hop on your bike, then every 20-30 minutes on rides longer than one hour.

Know how to service a flat tire. Always be prepared for punctures. Bring a pump, tire levers, and 2 spare tubes on every ride.

Not your ordinary foot stool. This one doubles as a dogs head rest.
