It’s been a busy week around the shop and we are so grateful for the opportunity to serve our local community and help make the world a better place one bike at a time. We just finished up a delivery of Specialized Bicycle Components Haul ST E-bikes for a local company who wants to help shrink their carbon footprint at their facilities all while helping their service technicians to be more efficient and capable. And we’d argue: all while have a whole lot more fun while on the job. We outfitted these bikes with special heavy duty polyethylene saddle bags and racks that will easily take on the daily wear and tear ahead. If you are interested in purchasing an E-bike, come on down to look at our inventory and take a test ride.

Happy New Bike Day Camille and Austin! Today they are adding another Adventure vehicle to their fleet, the DAHON INTERNATIONAL Hemingway D9.

Just in: We Are Orbea Denna M40 28mph XS in this stunning champagne (matt) Nickel finish. Denna exemplifies joyfully Adventure and with the new Shimano Bike Ride Synergy Gen 2 motor and their super light 420 Wh battery, there is always more just around the corner or over the next hill. Shimano claims an average of 3500 meters of climbing out of a full charge! Denna has clearance to handle up to a 50C tire for any off-road excursion, and flex stays in their unique carbon chasis allows for more small bump absorption when the path gets rough. Whether you are curious about bike-packing, a seasoned commuter, or just looking for your next forever bike, Denna is a serious contender. Come by for a test ride today!

Just in: 24” Hula kid’s MTB in the new Matte Midnight Blue finish. The Hula is a lightweight do-it-all bike for kids progressing their bike skills and wanting to hit the dirt for the first time. The 2.6” tires can be aired way down for a smooth ride over bumps and jumps without the added weight of a suspension fork, and the simple 1x drivetrain makes peddling up hills a breeze. We paired it with an Fly bottle cage and this thing is ready to shreddy! Come by for a test ride today.
