Saturday Roadies, bit of a change of plan this week due to some big road race thing happening in McLaren Vale... Will start at 7am (6:50 meet) at Home Grain Bakery on Old Coach Rd in Aldinga (yes they do good coffee) , then one hour via the Esplanade to McLaren Vale. 8am McLaren Vale depart for (hopefully if traffic marshalls allow) quick blast up Old Willunga Hill to finish back in the Vale at 9am. Route is here http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/167689130

No Bike Hire Thursday or Friday

Due to the extreme weather forecast we will not be offering casual bike hire on Thursday or Friday.

Take a ride with a couple of adventurous cyclists as they say goodbye to pavement and head deep into the mountains of interior British Columbia on their new 2013 Kona Roves. Designed to be the ultimate cyclocross/gravel-grinding/commuting machine, the Kona Cromoly drop-bar Rove pulls in the utilitarian attributes from our best commuter models, spices it with the efficient and comfortable geometry of our long cyclocross heritage, and dashes it with the awesome compliancy and durability of steel tubing. Outfitted with large tire clearance, eyelets for racks, and disc brakes for great stopping power, the Rove will deliver you come dirt, gravel or asphalt for as many Long Sweet Rides as you dare imagine. Here’s our tip of the cap to the Neverending (and sometimes not altogether smooth) Road.

Introducing the Specialized Roubaix

We've just put our first Specialized Roubaix on the floor. Our feeling is that these are the best road bikes for local conditions. The long wheelbase and Zert's dampers make a smooth ride out of even the roughest bitumen and the relaxed fork and long headtube give it excellent ride-all-day-ability.

Model Year 2013 has Begun...

Instead of linking to a picture on the internet I decided to have fun on the way home the other night. Introducing the 2013 Kona Honzo. New bikes from Kona, Specialized, Trek, United and Kink are on the floor now. Come check them out.
