  • Beginners Welcome!

    We want to spread the joy of cycling to beginners!
    Sport cycling for the first time can be a little intimidating.

Provision for No Flat Tires

We are putting a lot of thought into avoiding flat tires, the natural enemy of a cyclist.

We utilize puncture resistant tires, layering of rim tape, and proper air pressure
adjustments to prevent flat tires so you can travel worry free.

Sometimes there is no way to avoid flat tires. To remedy this, we provide inner tubes,
tire levers, and flat tire repair kits.
