What would you suggest for a
starting cyclist? They should come
into the shop, be properly sized for a
bike, discuss their ideal dream bike,
dream ride and how often they intend
to ride. The salesperson can help them
find the perfect bike that will last for
years to come.
Why should customers come to
you for a triathlon bike? We’re a
locally owned, family operated business.
Our employees have a combined
cycling, triathlon and running racing
experience of more than 40 years. We’re
certified bicycle fit specialists and know
how to find the proper fit for a customer’s
budget, style and body.
What kind of equipment would
you suggest for families that
would like to bike together?
We have a variety of beach cruisers,
hybrids, mountain bikes and road bikes.
They’re perfect because they are a comfortable
ride, good for traveling and
also fun and easy to handle. Cycling is
a great pastime for families that will be
together during the holiday break.
What other outdoor activities does
the shop promote? Bike Cycles now
sells standup paddleboards and running
shoes. SUP boards are bicycles for the
water. Locals should take advantage
because they’re great exercise and a way
to enjoy our local waterways.
What gift would you give this year? The new Quickblade
Paddle. As a performance upgrade, a new carbon fiber paddle would
be the ultimate gift.
