At Peak Cycles Bicycle Shop, we’ve found the best way to make the most of your bucket list rides is be prepared: mentally, physically, and have fully inspected your bike parts. You want to make the most of your rides, don’t you? Of course! No one wants a mechanical during training or racing. Obviously, functioning brakes are essential on the long, fast descents. Proper gearing can make or break your chance of making a climb. And, having the right bike tools, cycling accessories, and extra bike parts on hand make a difference between a stellar ride and a bailout.
So make sure your bike is in proper order and while you’re at it, stop in and check out the new rides we have in the shop. Riding a new road bike or mountain bike while marking your bucket list rides complete will totally up the fun factor!
