Still The New Kid...

THE NEW KID
Now I'm supposed to know everything...like EVERYTHING...
about everything! Every bike, every brand,
sizes of random things, prices, history, what random component is compatible
with what random component, and the fact that if you have an old Schwinn wheel
you have to get a special tire even though it reads the 'same' dimensions. Everyone here seems to know absolutely
everything, and it can be a bit intimidating to be considered one of them. So if
you, like me, are trying to make the transition from enthusiast to actually
educated (and eventually an expert), I'll keep you updated on the things I'm
learning. I have to ask a lot of the
questions that we're supposed to
know, and it's kind of embarrassing.
Things like: "What exactly are 'SPD' pedals?" or "How do you know if a bike is your size??".
I'll save you the same embarrassment and pass on the things I'm figuring
out.
In the mean time, I've found that using works like
"compliance", "components", "sealed cartridge
bearing", and "mechanism" help me blend in with those who
actually know what they're talking about.
Wish me luck!
Until next week....

Group rides are back!
May is awesome! Not only have we survived another year of April showers and windstorms, but we can now enjoy some warm hours of daylight after work. Plus, nothing beats getting up into the hills in the Spring! But the best thing about May? May is bike month! I hope this post serves as a reminder to go find your once-loved two-wheeled steed, dust it off, make amends, and get out and ride! If you need a group, we'll help. We start our group road and mountain rides THIS WEEK! Road rides will be Thursday nights (weather permitting), and mountain rides will be Saturday mornings. Take a look at the schedule below and come ride with The Bike Shoppe crew.
ROAD RIDES: (Each week we'll be riding different routes from the park.)
If you have any questions about locations, don't hesitate to call us. See you on the bike!
