🔥 Hot Take Alert 🔥
Brad, our E-Commerce Manager, is putting it out there… he thinks 2x drivetrains are better than 1x. 😳
More gears, tighter cadence, and better range? Or is simpler always better?
Now it’s your turn—is Brad right, or is he completely off the mark? Let us know in the comments and settle the debate. 👇
Not all cycling sunglasses are created equal. 😎🚴
Jonny breaks down why a good pair of cycling glasses is more than just a style choice. From boosting contrast so you can spot roots, rocks, and road imperfections, to protecting your eyes from the sun, wind, and flying debris, the right lenses can make every ride safer and more comfortable.
Thinking about upgrading your riding kit? Stop by the shop and we’ll help you find the right pair for your next ride.
A comfortable ride starts with the right saddle. 🚴
If you’re dealing with saddle discomfort, it’s not always something you just have to “get used to.” In this reel, we cover three things that make the biggest difference when choosing a saddle:
📏 Width & sit bone measurement
🔄 Saddle shape & profile
🪶 Materials & padding
The right saddle can completely change your ride. If you’re not sure which one is best for you, stop by the shop and we’d be happy to help you find the perfect fit.

Last year we nearly sold out the Globe Cinema, jam-packed our bike valet to capacity, and filled the evening with good friends, good times, and a whole lot of fantastic bike content.
The films had the whole room laughing, left us misty-eyed, and most importantly had everyone excited to go out and ride their bikes. While this year's film selection still hasn't been released, we're already excited about what's in store!
During 2025's event, we raised over $6000 for YouthEnRoute to continue building up the next generation of cyclists in our community and we can't wait to do it all over again.
