Greetings!
      Only one word can describe this particular spring - FINALLY!
Before you ride, quickly check these four items. Your bike has had a long winter too, just 'hanging' in your garage.
      We are here to help. We want you to have fun out there on your bike!

Happy to be Connecting You with Biking,
Pat, Jon, Derek, Drew, Evan, Kevin, Myron, Scot, Valerie

P.S. If you or your child has 'outgrown' his or her bike, please donate it to our Bikes4Kids charity. We will refurbish it and give it to a needy child.

 

bike tire pump
1. Pump up your tires. 

If you have not pumped up your tires since last fall, or last week, then, yes, they will need some air. Correctly inflated tires give you a smoother, easier (and more fun) ride. A floor pump makes this job so much faster!
Here is our favorite.

 

2. Check your seat.

Comfortable Serfas Saddle 
Does it need tightening? Is it comfortable? Is it at the correct height for you? We have a wide selection of men and women specific saddles
Gel padding and full suspension springs may be just what you need!

3. Snap on your helmet.

Bikes 4 Kids
Did you buy your helmet before 2008? Your helmet's ability to absorb impact degrades over time, so it's best to replace it every 3 to 5 years. The new designs are much more comfortable and easily adjustable. 
We have cute helmets for kids, stylish helmets for women, ponytail ports, and even helmets for those with larger brains! Check out our great helmet selection, plus we have more in the shop. A new helmet is cheaper than a visit to the emergency room!

4. Check your gears and brakes. 

bike tune up
If your gears do not work smoothly, your bike probably needs a tune up. Our tune ups include:  wheel truing; brake and derailleur adjustment;  headset, derailleur, bottom bracket and hub bearing check; lubrication; top off tires; safety inspection.
