Tech Talk: Storing Bicycles in your Home

Bike pulley system How do you store your bike? Believe it or not, there's more to it than leaning it in the corner of your garage. Taking care to store your bike properly goes a long way towards keeping it in good condition and avoiding costly repairs. Read all about it in this article:


In addition to comparing the pros and cons of different storage systems, you'll learn how to prepare your bike for storage over the winter, and what to do to get it ready to ride in the spring.
"On Sprinter, on Climber, on Fixie, on Hybrid!"

Make some time to take your family to Holiday Lights at the Medina Fairgrounds this month - it's a wonderful holiday experience AND you can check out the North Pole's newest bicycle commuter! 

This photograph by our general manager Mike Petcher of Santa and his Cycledeer is spreading holiday joy far beyond the fairgrounds - it has been shared over 100 times on Facebook by bicycling enthusiasts all over the world!

Dec. 2012 Online Poll Image Take our latest online poll!

 

What is your favorite type of bicycling? Click here to take our latest online poll and let us know!

Last month's poll asked, 
"What do you hope Santa leaves under your tree?" The top answer, at 43% of the votes, was "A Century Cycles Gift Card so that I can pick out my own gift." Second-place was "Clothing and accessories to make sure I'll be ready to ride in the spring" (27%) followed closely by "A new bicycle" (20%).
 
You can see the full results of the last poll here, and there's still plenty of time to buy a Century Cycles Gift Card for every cyclist on your list! We'll even ship it to you or directly to the recipient at no extra cost!

Wellness Credits
 
Does your employer provide wellness benefits? Don't let 2012 run out without using them. In many programs, a bicycle counts as a wellness expenditure!
