What We Ride: Dan Ward - Salsa Mukluk 2
Dan Ward is our Bicycle Fit Specialist at the Century Cycles store in Rocky River. He purchased his 2014 Salsa Mukluk 2 snow bike last year, and has been riding trails and commuting to work on it ever since. Not only does it allow him to keep riding through the long, cold Cleveland winters, but it has revived his excitement about cycling year-round. Learn more about Dan's Mukluk 2, the changes he's made to it, and what projects he has planned for it here:

Our rental road bikes are ideal if you've got a friend coming in from out of town who would like to join you for a bike ride or event, or if you're thinking about buying a road bike and want to take an extended test-ride.

 Snow bikes, or "fat bikes," are the mountain bikes with super-wide tires that have taken the bike world by storm. There doesn't have to be snow on the ground to enjoy them, though; they're a blast to ride year-round! We have several snow bikes for rent in Small, Medium, and Large sizes, available in Peninsula only. Rates are $15 per hour. For more information, go to: www.centurycycles.com/for/SnowBikeRental
