Spring is in Full Bloom and Summer is on the Way!!
We can still expect some cool-to-cold mornings before the day warms up. Vests &/or Arm and Leg Warmers will keep the early chill from slowing you down. Come see us for cool weather layering techniques to keep you warm without overheating when the day hots up.

The PA Bike Path has been under construction in multiple areas and should be fully completed relatively soon. Reports have most of the PA side as passable. Loops are possible from Frenchtown south to the Bulls Island Pedestrian Bridge, over to the PA/Lumberville side, then north to the Uhlerstown Covered Bright and back over to NJ via the Frenchtown Bridge (or the reverse route).

The NJ River Path remains in excellent shape and has not experienced any flood damage during 2009. The NJ State Park folks cleared many fallen trees from the path as rapidly as they were found. Come down for a bike ride, or rent one of ours to explore the sights. We have fully restocked and built our 2010 Rental Fleet. Our newest bike addition this year is ourZigo Leader Child Carrier&Bike.

The local Bike Club rides are increasing as the days lengthen. What are you waiting for? See some of our ride possibilities on the "Rides" page. Check out the local Bike Club links there as well.

Previous years' spike in oil/gas prices quickly changed the landscape throughout the cycling industry. Bike and related accessory demand increased more than manufacturers initially expected during 2008 and most costs rose close to 20% during 2009. The recent economic meltdown appears to have slightly reduced prices across some bikes, parts and accessories. As we obtain new 2010 product, you may notice some lower pricing.

New Bikes
We carry a dazzling array of Giant, Electra, DK, Stolen and Van Dessel bikes for all levels of interest. Whether you're seeking comfort and recreational bikes, mountain bikes, road bikes, BMX or high-end racing models, we've got you covered. For 2010, we will be adding several new bike lines: Fuji, Kestral and Breezer. Look for them to be coming soon.

Rentals
If you're in town on holiday and need a bike to explore the Path along the river, or want to venture inland, we always have a new fleet of 20 Giant Sport/Comfort bikes available in 2-hour, 4-hour, or 24-hour periods. Multi-day rentals are also available.

We sell off our new rental fleet after each season. Our current 2010 Fleet of $410 MSRP Sedonas are available for $300 (slightly used, with some minor "battle scars"). We additionally equip them with a: water bottle cage; bell; and tube sealant in both tires. Our rentals are used for the 2010 rental season, cleaned & detailed, then released around mid/end-November. The claims period starts the Thursday after Labor Day (Sept 9th) @ 10am: a $75 deposit (or full payment) holds the bike of your choice until we are through the rental season. These units come with Giant's full Warranty, as if sold as new. They also come with our Lifetime Free Adjustment benefit. These bikes go quick when available, so give us a call or stop by to determine the right bike (size, gender, color) for you.

We also offer several high-end, carbon fibre, performance road bicycles for those who need the very best, or do not want to travel with (or ship) their personal uber-steed to the NJ area. Most folks supply their own pedals (to go with their shoes) and some even bring their favorite saddle. We'll set you up so you need not expose your bike to potential travel damage. Call us for rental details.

Repairs
Our knowledgeable staff can get your bike in working order, whether you just need a flat fixed, a seasonal tune-up, or a major overhaul. No matter what brand bike you have, or where you bought it, we can usually fix it. All work is done on a first-come basis (we do not make appointments). Please note that we need to see and inspect a bike completely before we can offer an estimate. We are not able to offer anything other than a vague rough estimate over the phone. At times, other problems surface once the bike is in the repair stand or taken out for a test ride. We always call to discuss significant unforeseen costs before proceeding with a repair.

We do not limit our repair work to recent models or only bike we sell. We will attempt to repair or restore any bike. We'll give you our best estimate on the work needed and let you make the decision to proceed with all or some of the suggested work.

Bicycle Restoration
Do you have a Vintage Bike? A Classic Bike? A Collectible Bike? A bike with strong Sentimental Value? Your Childhood "Rosebud"? We can restore it to its best possible condition. While we do not perform repainting or re-chroming, we can debride, de-rust, clean and restore your ride to uncover its hidden beauty. Stop by and see our vintage 1973 Schwinn Apple Krate that underwent 60 hours of cleaning, detailing, and polishing. Restoration work is usually performed during the winter months when we have larger blocks of time to dedicate to this delicate process. Give us a call to schedule an evaluation and assessment of your bike, its needs, as well as your ultimate goals.

Gear
Helmets...clothing...gloves...pumps...lights...accessories. We've got everything you need so you can be outfitted from head to toe & wheel to wheel. Ride with safety in mind, but look good and feel good doing it!
