Thanks for reading the newsletter. I hope your health is good and your week is the best it can be.

Time Off

Regular riding is great for your fitness, your mental well-being, and for your health overall. A great way to improve your body is to take some time off from riding, maybe a week or two, and let your body heal. We all know that constant hammering stresses your body and results in sculpted thighs and ripped calves, but it also stresses your joints and connective tissues. The constant riding takes a toll and the best way to get stronger is to rest. Your body rebuilds and you gain strength and endurance. We just got back from a trip to Arizona and I can say without a doubt I feel crisp and refreshed. The warm desert climate and the good times with family and new friends was excellent.

New Bikes vs Old Bikes

The high time for a new bike is coming up very soon for millions of people. The holidays are upon us and shopping is in high gear. That brings up a topic that often gets overlooked and rarely discussed. The bike you ride and the bike you like should never be apologized for. Where is he going with this you may ask yourself. What I am getting at is if you come into a bike shop, or any shop, for help with a bike problem never apologize for the bike you have. I hear it, I see it, I deal with it all the time. There is nothing to be sorry for when you walk through the doors. Your bike is your bike. If you paid $100 for it that’s fine. We’ll do our best to get it back to where it needs to be. There is a common stream of thought that cheap bikes are below us or not worthy since bike shop employees and owners typically ride higher end bikes tricked out with the latest components and gadgets. I’m hear to say it doesn’t matter. Bring your bike in and let’s talk. I’m sure we can help you get what you need.

Thanks for reading, have a great ride or two this week.

Peace,
Paul
