On Our Radar

We've had a busy month and are still getting caught up with News and Features, but wanted to share our latest 2023 items and sales with you. As a token of appreciation for following us, use RideReminder10 and receive 10% off your entire order ($20 minimum order). This discount is on top of the current sales discounts. Discount expires on Sept 1st.

We've re-inventoried after RAGBRAI and we have too much left-over gear. The heat, hills and long miles snatched the fun away from folks as they got into the overnight towns. We have some killer sales going on right now as we need to move some inventory so we can start on our Fall 2023 designs. Size and Quantities are limited for some items.
