One reason can be that at times, it seems like the folks in the bike shop are speaking a different language. We'd like to help you be on the same page with us when talking bikes.

What's the difference between a wheel and a rim? Where are the down tube and head tube on a bike? Find out in this article:

What We Ride: Ken Hagedorn 
 
If you're riding to a cooWhat We Ride: Ken Hagedornl place like Deagan's Kitchen & Bar for Bike Night, it's even more fun when you have a cool bike to ride. And Ken Hagedorn in our  Rocky River store had a very cool bike to ride when we shut down the stores early last month to ride to Deagan's - his Torelli road bike. Read more about Ken's bike and how he's got it set up, see this article:

What is your favorite mid-ride snack?  

 

Click the link to take our latest online poll and let us know!

 

Last month's poll asked, "What is your favorite breakfast to fuel up before a long ride?" The majority of respondents seem to prefer their breakfast in a bowl, with 45% of the votes for "Cereal or oatmeal." That was followed by write-in votes (almost 24%), many of which were combinations of the other choices, although there was one vote for "Beer and leftover pizza," the breakfast of champions! See the full results here.
