Story

Thinking of buying a new bicycle? One of your first choices - "Where should I shop?" It can be challenging because there are a myriad of stores that carry two-wheelers, from specialty retailers, to giant department stores, to backyard garage operations.

"So why should I shop at a local bike store?" Simply put: who you buy from has EVERYTHING to do with the quality of bike/service you get. The process of purchasing a bike or accessories can be intimidating. We strive to make it easy for you by providing the most friendly service and quality products that we can stand behind. And we still understand the value of a genuine smile and an honest handshake.

"So why not buy the cheapest bike out there (box store bikes)?" Well, bicycles aren't like toasters or suitcases. Bikes must be assembled and will require adjustments & tuning. Proper measurements and adjustments ensure that the frame is the correct size and that the seat and handlebars are properly positioned for a comfortable riding experience. And...every new bicycle will need minor adjustments after several weeks of use and yearly tune-ups in order to work optimally. Every new bike purchased at The Bike Rack comes with a lifetime of free adjustments (shifting/brakes/touch truing wheels/basic lubrication/safety check) to keep your bike in tip-top shape.

"So....how do I find the right one?" There are many different types of bikes (fitness hybrids/road/mountain/etc) and you should never buy until you've figured out which one is right for you and your riding style. And quality matters. Modern bikes traveling at high speed, rolling over demanding terrain can test a machine's materials and construction. A quality two-wheeler, carefully assembled and fit to you - will be the safest, most durable and fun bicycle to ride.

For these reasons, we strongly recommend shopping at a good specialty bicycle store such as The Bike Rack. Our highly trained sales staff and expert mechanics will ensure that you get just the right bike along with the highest quality of service. We offer the best selection in the area and an on-site service/repair department that services any brand.
