Accessories, we got the coolest!

by Jim Tuttle — Categories: BP News and Updates — Tags: , , , , , , , 3 Comments

With the wonderful weather heading our direction, now is the time to get some style, functionality, pizazz and gear added to your summertime rides. Whether it’s adding some bells, attaching some racks and panniers or adding a dropper seat-post to your 29′er, the Bike Peddler has the latest, greatest and most unique bicycle accessories at the most affordable prices.

Come on in and take a look at the new Takeout Basket from Portland Design Works.

The Takeout™ Basket makes a handsome addition to any road or city bike. Take a trip to the corner store and secure a six pack of bottles in the roll top bag, or keep a food stash and extra layer of clothing handy for a day long gravel road ramble or a night on the town. The Takeout™ also features an eyelet for attaching light brackets and a spot to drop your u-lock. Check out the Takeout Basket in action:

 

Speaking about dropper seatposts; there is nothing more ride changing than the Giant Contact Switch Seatpost. This seatpost from Giant offers 4″ (100 mm) of total drop with infinite adjustment (no set height position). The Contact Switch seatpost uses a sealed cartridge with an internal floating piston for reliability and anti-twist. The seatpost comes in a size of 30.9 and is operated with a cable-actuated handlebar remote. From the moment that you install this component on your mountain bike, you will wonder how you ever managed your climbs and descents without one; kiss those days of dismounting to adjust your saddle height goodbye!

We are also pleased to announce that we have $19.99 Dynamic Sport road tires from Michelin, Soda Pop fenders from Portland Design Works, the new Garmin Edge 510 and new flavors of NOW trail bars (these are unbelievably tasty)! Not only do we have what you are looking for, we are super happy to help you find it.

Have a great weekend!

This Week’s MTB Ride

For more information please click this link.

Joel C. hopefully in tandem (not on a real tandem) w/ Michelle C. & Kalan will lead the ride to the Dallas Trails. If weather becomes inordinately crappy, we may ride the Black Rock trails. The BR trials remain ‘buff’ in rain/wind/snow, unlike the Dallas trails, which become creeks mingled w. sections of cement-like mud. Please direct questions to joel@bikepeddler.net. Cheers.

Bike Peddler Weekly Mountain Bike Rides

by Jim Tuttle — Categories: Events — Tags: , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Hello riders,

Ever wanted to get out, into the wild, work on your single-track, cross-country, all-mountain and downhill skills?

Have you been wondering what all the buzz about Black Rock, Dallas, Silvercreek Falls and Shelburg is all about?

Well want and wait no more! Every Sunday, starting at 10:00 AM, join Joel Cleland, Eric Vickers and many other Bike Peddler employees on a afternoon group mountain bike ride. The theme of the ride is XC and all ranges of riders are welcome; EVEN GIRLS! In fact, we highly encourage a female turnout and who knows, you might even get to ride with the amazing, talented and charismatic Michelle Cleland (she rules).

Bring your bike, your gear, your helmet and a great attitude. Remember, pack some food, tools and stay hydrated.

The group will meet at the Bike Peddler and, from there, decide the ride details/location and theme.

The ride scheduled for 2/24/13 will be headed to the Dallas trails. If weather is foul then we will ride the Falls City/Black Rock trails.

More information on subsequent rides can be located under our ‘Events’ link.

Have fun!

We are pleased to announce that we have the Reign 2, from Giant, in our showroom.
