Friday and Saturday: 10:00am - 5:00pm
Sunday: 12:00 - 5:00pm

As always, our current Hours of Operation can be found at: www.centurycycles.com/for/hours

Remember that Daylight Savings Time ends THIS weekend! Set your clocks BACK one hour at 2:00am this Sunday, November 2.

We are your Winter Cycling Wonderland!

We've got a full selection of snow bikes from Salsa Cycles in stock, including the Mukluk 3 with advanced features at an entry-level price, Mukluk 2 featuring the new RockShox Bluto snowbike-specific suspension fork, and the Beargrease Carbon 1, proving that fatbike does not mean fat on the scale! Coming soon is the Bucksaw, the much-anticipated full-suspension snow bike, and the Blackborow, with 5-inch wide tires giving all-new meaning to all-terrain bicycling.

Never tried winter cycling before? It's a blast, and we have made it easy for you to try it out! New for this season, we are offering Snow Bike Rentals in our Peninsula store! See www.centurycycles.com/for/SnowBikeRental for rates and more information.

Having the right equipment is the key to enjoying rear-round riding. 45North is a company dedicated to making winter cycling gear. Their product designers put their stuff to the test everywhere from the Itidarod Trail in Alaska to commuting through Minnesota winters.

Their flagship product is the Wolvhammer Winter Cycling Boot. Featuring space-age nanotechnology, it's the warmest cycling-specific shoe on the planet. Now in stock!

Also available from 45North are a range of studded winter tires, and winter cycling clothing, such as the Lung Cookie wool balaclava.

Take our latest online poll

Even with all of our talk about snow bikes and winter cycling, there is a wide range of feeling about riding in cold weather. Many look forward to it, while many say "no way."

What would make you consider doing more outdoor bicycling in the winter time? Let us know by taking our latest online poll!

Our last poll asked, "How has your mountain biking changed with the new trails available in the Cleveland Metroparks?" A majority of responses (58%) said they are mountain biking more, and encouragingly, 12% said they tried mountain biking for the first time. However, 21% have still never tried mountain biking. You can see the full results of the last poll here.
