Better BIcycles

2009-10-26T14:35:00.002-04:00

Hi Tim here to talk about better bicycles. While there are many bicycles out there that are nice , how do you know if it a bike is nice for you . Before you go shopping for a bike, ask your self what you want the bike for . Where are you going to ride ? How far are you going to ride ? What type of terrain do you want to cover ? What do you expect from the bike ? While some of these questions may

Inter Bike East

2009-10-07T07:39:00.002-04:00

Hi everyone Tim here , I am getting ready to go to Interbike East to ride the cool new bikes at the outdoor demo in Providence RI and I was wondering if I would find any bikes that ride as nice as ours or that can do what ours can . I had a friend on our New Leaf yesterday and he said it was so much fun . Well that seems to sum up what so many people say after they get back from a test ride .

Health Care Reform

2009-09-29T08:43:00.002-04:00

Hi , Tim here with my latest on health care reform . One of the greatest things we can do to improve our health is reduce the amount of stress in our lives. A great way to do this is to slow things down in our lives . How about riding all the way or part way to work ? I can not say enough about how good I feel when I ride my bike to work ! I am about to go do that and just the thought of riding

Wonderful, inspiring story

It's Joan here. Hard to believe it’s September already, isn’t it? It’s been a great summer, and I hope you all got a lot of riding in. A great story was sent to me recently. I absolutely love it, and want to share it with you.Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tanned woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said: "THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A

Check out your bike

2009-07-21T08:48:00.003-04:00

Hi Tim here with some tips on checking out your bike before you go for a ride . The first thing I do is to grab both brake levers while standing next to the bike and see if I can feel both brakes working . If you hold the front brake lever and try to rock the bike back and forth , you can feel if the headset(the parts holding the fork in the frame) is loose or not . After those checks, grab the

A New Leaf

2009-07-07T08:57:00.002-04:00

Wouldn't it be great to find a way to get outside and start taking back some of the joy that may have been lost somewhere along the way?

The Time Of Your Life

2009-05-24T13:18:00.002-04:00

Hi Tim here with some reminders of why our 'Time of Your Life' bike is such a nice cruiser . On most bikes , the crank set is right below your feet . On the Time of Your Life (TOYL) the crank set is moved forward to allow your leg to move out in front of you for leg extension .This lets you stand with your feet more flatly on the ground ,thus more stable when mounting and dismounting .Another

Handlebars

2009-05-14T07:53:00.002-04:00

Hi , Tim here with some thoughts on handlebars. It often surprises me that many people do not know that handlebars can be changed with out a great expense . Having the correct position while riding is very important for over all comfort . The first thing to measure is the width of your shoulders , or what is the distance between your hands when they are straight out in front of you . This

seats

2009-04-22T09:25:00.002-04:00

SeatsTim here to talk a little about seats . Having the right seat is very important . A lot of the time people may think that bigger is better but this is not always the case . Sometimes if the seat is too big it can get in the way of the riders legs causing ineffective motion and possibly chaffing . The important thing to look at when choosing a seat is what the measurement is of your pelvic

Pedals

2009-04-17T10:02:00.004-04:00

Pedals. Many times as we try out or ride bikes , we do not pay attention to the pedals that our feet are on . Most pedals for normal shoes and riding are very comfortable . As such, as we ride the bike, we just do not think about the pedals under our feet What many people might not know is that most bikes under 1000 dollars retail have pedals with less then impressive bearing races. What this

Your gear

2009-04-04T13:00:00.002-04:00

HI Tim here with a reminder that if you have not been out riding yet, maybe it's time !! Take some time to sort through your gear and make sure that everything is ready to go . Check your helmet that so that it is adjusted right . Find the shoes you like to wear . Clean out your water bottles . Look at your bike again and make sure that there is air in the tires . Wipe it down if it is dusty.

Spring with a 29er

2009-03-19T16:22:00.002-04:00

Hi Tim here .I just went out for a ride on the 29er since the snow was gone. Wow! what a great bike we have built for you our customers !

reasons for our bikes

2009-03-10T09:38:00.002-04:00

Hi Tim here with some thoughts on our bikes . Some people come to me and say that they were told that any bike could hold their weight and they know people who ride just plain bikes. While a normal bike can hold a lot of weight it can not do so for very long . One of the main differences with our bikes is that not only can it hold the weight mentioned it can do it ride after ride giving our
