 Spring Training Checklist: Get ready to ride!
- Schedule A Bike Tune-Up - Make sure your trusty steed is ready to roll when you (and the weather) are ready.
- Re-assess Your Bike Needs - After years of mountain biking, are you itching to go fast on pavement? Or maybe you plan to commute by bike when it warms up. Test ride the new bike styles and find the one that's right for you.
- Don't Let The Weather Stop Your Riding - Ride Indoors! We've got the spinning shoes and gear you need. Or try a trainer, which mimics the experience of riding outside in the comfort of your own home.
- Update Your Gear - How old is your helmet? Experts recommend replacing it every three years. And the pad in your old cycling shorts has probably seen better days, too!
- Calling All Family Members - Prepare now to ride together all summer long! For toddlers and preschoolers, check out our trailers and tagalongs. We can also tune up your kids' bikes, or fit them for the next size up.
To help you with these and the items on your own own cycling checklist, print out and bring in the coupons below for plenty of great pre-season bargains! You can also find these coupons on our web site. |

Indoor Cycling Tips  During the winter months, many cyclists turn to Spinning classes at their local gym to stay in shape.
DID YOU KNOW? The pedals on most gyms' Spinning bikes are compatible with standard cycling shoes. Many give you the option of using toe straps to hold your foot in place, or the click-in system.
Even if you prefer the toe straps, cycling shoes give you an advantage over regular sneakers because their stiffer soles provide a more efficient transfer of power from your leg muscles to the pedals. The click-in system allows you to apply power throughout the full circle of your pedal stroke, providing even more efficiency and a smoother, better workout.
We carry a full selection of cycling shoes, including several models that will look and feel at home in your gym, such as the Shimano SH-MT31 ($69.99) pictured here. If you are ready to make the jump to click-in pedaling, we can help you select the right pair of shoes, and install the cleats on the shoes for you. Then, we can let you try them out on one of our indoor trainers, so that you can get used to the feeling of clicking in and out of the pedals in a safe, stable environment. |
 Bicycle Maintenance Classes
You get to work on YOUR OWN BIKE in our classes. Learning how to work on your bike is a great way to save money and time on future repairs. Even if you don't plan to do major repair work on your own, learning about your bike's inner workings can help improve your riding skills and give you more confidence when out on the road or trail.
