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:

Team Left Hand / Century Cycles continues to gear up for the Bike MS Buckeye Breakaway! We have had several training rides at all three of our stores, plus a successful silent auction where we raised over $1000 towards our team goal!  

 

We've got several more training rides coming up (see below)! The ride goes from Brunswick to Ashland, Ohio on August 1-2.

We have our popular comfort hybrid bikes for rent on the Towpath Trail in Peninsula. In addition, we also have road bicycles and snow bikes (fat bikes) for rent!

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. We have a range of sizes available in men's and women's-specific models. We offer hourly, daily, and weekly rates, and you can pick up the bike in any of our three stores. For rates, bike specs, policies, and other information, go to: www.centurycycles.com/for/RoadBikeRental

 

 

If you haven't signed up for the National Bike Challenge yet, it's not too late! You can still log all of your miles ridden in June before the end of the month.

Once you sign up for the challenge, you can see how you rank against others in your workplace and your community, both locally and nationally! You get a point for every mile that you ride your bike, plus 20 bonus points every day you ride! So it doesn't matter how far or fast you can ride; people of all abilities can ride their bikes and take the challenge!

Best of all, the more you ride, the more you help the Cleveland area beat the Pittsburgh area and keep the Rust Cup in Cleveland for another year!

You can start your own team, or join an existing team, such as the Century Cycles team!
