But hang on a minute….nice cyclists don’t just think about themselves! Has your bike been nice too? Show it some love this holiday season. Get it some presents! Your bike’s #1 holiday wish would be to drop the weight – on bike parts that is! You might be wondering where to start. A good place to start is purchasing a high quality wheel set. A good wheel set impacts ride quality, ease of pedaling, reliability, and functionality. So, get the best you can afford. Add some new, lighter tires on your wheels and your bike will thank you for the bling!
Speaking of bling, Santa’s slay isn’t the only thing that lights up! Light up your bike! Whether you are bike commuting, going for a holiday stroll, or getting in base miles, being visible is critical. Here are some tips to getting the right bike parts. You will want lights for the front of your bike. Consider having multiple lights for the front of your bike. One on your helmet so you can shine side roads and traffic and have a second light on your handlebars so you can see at least 10 ft. or more in front of you. For the rear of your bike, opt for a rear red light- particularly one that blinks. A blinking red light is much more likely to get the attention of a passing motorist who might otherwise not notice you. Add festive holiday cheer with a bike bell or outfit your hydration pack with holiday lights.
Here at Peak Cycles Bicycle Shop, we feel that the true Christmas spirit of cycling is the love of the bike – whether you have been naughty or nice. It’s the adventure cycling brings – the challenge of a new ride, the experimentation with new or different bike parts, the joy of connecting with friends in meaningful ways, and the building of camaraderie with teammates. Here’s to all the nice cyclist out there! These are all the very blessings we wish for you and your family this holiday season. Happy Holidays from Peak Cycles Bicycle Shop and BikeParts.com!
