Fit Clinic - November 20 Knee Pain 

Do you experience knee pain when riding? Knee pain is one of the most frequent complaints among cyclists. Riding an ill-fitted bicycle will dramatically increase your chances of developing cycling knee pain. As a cyclist you spend a lot of time on your bike, and you also repeat the pedaling motion several thousand times per hour. Making sure your bike fits your individual anatomy will go a long way in ensuring a pain-free adventure on the road. Join our Bike Fit experts on November 20 as they address the most common (and a few uncommon) causes of cycling knee pain and tips for preventing them.

If you are planning on heading out to the 65th Annual H-E-B Thanksgiving Day Parade downtown this year, you might see some familiar faces. Our friends at Houston Bike Share will be sharing the spotlight amidst the inflatable turkeys and marching bands. The party starts at 9 am, so come get your Turkey Day started on the right foot and support a Houston Favorite. You can even ride a B-cycle to the parade!

 

 

Our new winter clothing and accessory collection is now in stock! A Houston winter can vary quite a bit, and staying comfortably dry is the key to enjoying year-round riding. 

Let us help you build the perfect layering system, keeping you warm at the ride start, without overheating as the ride goes on.  We have a great selection from Bontrager, Specialized, Castelli, and Louis Garneau. Come see us before the next cold heads our way!
