Jim Tuttle — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 17:32:34 +0000

Eric and Kalan are busy building wheels this month! If you have ever had the joy of riding one of Eric’s hand-built tubeless ready beauties, then you already know the great advantage that road or mountain tubeless technology provides. And, if you have not had the opportunity to experience the wonderful and worry free ride of tubeless, come on in and ask as many questions as you want; our patient and experienced staff are always willing to answer your questions and assist you in any way possible. Also, if you have a few spare minutes, take the opportunity to browse the new tubeless wheel offerings from Giant, Shimano and Stan’s; they will change your ride, for the better!

This Week’s MTB Ride

Joel Cleland — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 23:28:03 +0000

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

Jim Tuttle — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:24:32 +0000

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!

As Oregonians, You Knew The Rain Was Coming, But You Didn’t Expect This

Jim Tuttle — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 21:42:32 +0000

We are pleased to announce that we have the Reign 2, from Giant, in our showroom. This awesome, sub 30lb All-Mountain bike boasts six inches of aggressive Maestro Suspension for maximum control when you need it most. Giant designed the Reign with a super strong, balanced ALUXX SL aluminum frame built upon confident geometry and a stiff, tapered OverDrive 2 front end. Add a 15QR thru-axle fork and reliable components for maximum bicycle manipulation. The Reign is your ticket to mastering technical climbs and the roughest descents, all day long, over and over again!

We can’t keep enough of these in stock!

These bars are so delicious!

NOW Energy Bars were developed with All-Natural, Non-GMO ingredients. NOW bars possess an ideal 4:1 carb to protein ratio to fuel and maintain energy levels during any endurance activity. Unlike the average energy bar, NOW bars contain
White Chia seeds which not only provide healthy EFA’s but also help regulate electrolytes, and are the only US marketed bar
made with New Zealand’s potent Manuka Honey which helps boost the immune system with its inherent antibacterial properties.

You’ve Got To Check This Trainer Out

Jim Tuttle — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 23:46:39 +0000

The Bike Peddler is proud to announce that we now have the Rock and Roll trainer from Hurt Kinetic! This incredible trainer will revolutionize your indoor cycling routine. From the Kinetic website; “Take realism and your workout to a whole new level with the only trainer that delivers natural side-to-side motion. With this unique, lateral motion, core muscles are engaged to maintain balance. So now you can simultaneously workout both technique and power— especially during out-of-the-saddle hill climb intervals. Get on. Give your expectations a workout.”.

You should set some time aside this week and come try this awesome trainer out. Currently, we have a Giant Defy Advanced 0 with Ultegra (UI2) electronic shifting hooked up to the Rock and Roll; what a great way to try out the best of both worlds, AT ONCE!!!!
