School’s almost out for summer, but it’s always great to see bike racks full of students choosing two wheels over four!

What better way to celebrate a birthday than with a brand-new cruiser? 🎉🚲

Finley decided to ride into her next year in style with a new Priority Bicycles cruiser! With a low-maintenance belt drive (no greasy chain!) and easy-to-use 3-speed internal gearing, this bike is built for smooth rides, carefree adventures, and many birthdays to come.

Happy Birthday, Finn! We hope your new bike takes you on countless rides and creates plenty of great memories along the way.

Salt water + Bikes don’t mix. Those high-tide puddles along the trail are sometimes unavoidable, but even a quick ride through saltwater can cause damage.

This wheel developed severe rust after exposure to saltwater. Chains, spokes, bearings, cables, and other metal components are all vulnerable.

If you ride through saltwater or tidal flooding, don’t just put the bike away when you get home.
- Hose it down with freshwater
- Dry it off or leave it out in the sun
- Re-lubricate your chain

A few minutes with the garden hose can save you from some expensive repairs down the road!

The shop is closed today while we enjoy the holiday with family and friends.

The weather this weekend may have been more “gray skies and sweatshirts” than kickoff-to-summer… but we’re rolling with it.

And while today marks the unofficial start of summer, it’s also a day to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Hope everyone’s having a great Memorial Day!🇺🇸

Awesome to see our own Jasper Gregory and Coach Jim Martin featured in this recent Cape Gazette article spotlighting the Sussex Sand Sharks!

The Sussex Sand Sharks prioritize fun through engaging events where youth mountain bikers (grades 5-12) can build their biking skills in Lewes. Supported by Lewes Cycle Sports, the athletes compete within the NICA-Delaware Interscholastic Cycling League. While they are the only group based out of Su...

“Still has tread” doesn’t always mean “still good.”
The tire on the right may look okay at first glance… but the sidewall is completely dry rotted and separating from the casing. That’s a blowout waiting to happen.

Bike tires age out just like car tires — especially if the bike sits in a garage, shed, or outside through changing temperatures and humidity.

Signs your tires may need replacing:
• Cracks in the rubber
• Dry or faded sidewalls
• Fraying threads showing through
• Frequent flats
• Tires older than 5–7 years

Not sure if your bike is safe to ride? Bring it by and we’ll take a look. A quick tire check is a lot cheaper than dealing with a blowout mid-ride.
