In summary the brands we carry are Specialized, Globe, Colnago, Seven, Scott, Bianchi.

We categorize our bikes based on the type of riding you do:

• Kids Biking: we carry Specialized Kid bikes from 12" to 24" wheels. From the pink princess bike with a basket to the hot rod. We can take the pedals off to get your kid to learn to glide before he or she can say goodbye to the training wheels.
• Mountain biking: For those who love speed and nature, we carry Specialized's downhill and cross country models: HardRock and Myka for women, and RockHopper Comp.
• Commuting and Recreational riding (hybrid or comfort bikes): We offer Specialized's flat bar road bikes Vita and Sirrus. For riding with your family or around town we recommend the new light utility Globe Bicycles.
• Cyclocross Racing for which bikes are single speed. We carry Specialized's Tricross, Scott CX, Colnago World cup, and Seven MudHoney.
• Road biking: If cycling is your sport, or you want it to be your sport, you need one of these two types of road bikes:
  • Endurance: the geometry of the frame is comfortable, making it an ideal type of bike for club rides and long rides such as century rides.
  • Competitive: lightweight, with an aggressive geometry for maximum efficiency.

What distinguishes these brands and models?

The following features differentiate these brands and models:

• Frame Geometry. The size and angle of the tubes will affect your performance and comfort. The more angled your torso is, the more you can engage your hamstrings to pull the pedals, and therefore pedal efficiently. As you know, the tradeoff is comfort. Our team will measure you and recommend the appropriate bike for your size and riding goals.
• Frame Material can be steel, aluminum alloy, carbon fiber and titanium, or a combination of these materials. These materials impact the weight of the bike, the durability and the "stiffness" of the bike which, in turn, will impact your personal comfort and power transfer (i.e. performance).
• Components (brakes, gears system, derailleurs, crank, wheels): Each bike brand and model offers components made by manufacturers such as Shimano (bike.shimano.com), Campagnolo (www.campagnolo.com) or SRAM (www.sram.com) . Each vary in precision, durability, ease of actuation, stiffness, and weight.

Do I need a women-specific bike?

Women typically have longer legs relative to their heights than men and shorter torsos. So to fit properly, women-specific bikes have shorter top tubes and smaller handlebar width. That being said, not all women are built that way or feel that they need a women-specific bike, in fact almost all women can be fitted on a unisex bike. We will measure you and help you find the bike that fits you best.
