Rain brings the trails to life!

The Valley has had some heavy rains as of late, and even though this might put a kink into some of your riding plans it helps everything grow. With the spring moisture the Rocktown Trails at Hillandale Park have gone from a dark and grey landscape to a vibrant green forest with beautiful dark lines for folks to enjoy.

Blue Ridge Parkway - Vasuvius, VA.

With the record breaking warm temperatures (It is still offically winter) bikes are out and about everywhere, especially road bikes. Yesterday 94' JMU grad Adam Krop was in town to get a taste of some of the great road riding in the Valley, a 60 mile road ride near Vasuvius, VA....great back roads with only 20 cars passing all day long! Kyle is down farther south in Georgia for the annual spring riding camp hosting by 99' JMU grad, Oliver Quinn!

Find you secret road riding place and enjoy! 2012 Harris-Roubaix is only 3 weeks away!

It is bike camping season!

With the weather turning steadily towards spring dreams of camping and the outdoors can transition into plans and action!  Whether you're riding across the county, state or country there is nothing quite like spending a night camping after pedaling to your destination.  I was taking a photo of Collin in our camping display when a real adventurer came into our shop,  He didn't want his picture taken due to his aversion to publicity, but he did allow us to document his bike;  a Salsa Fargo!  A bike he has found to be the best for his heavy load touring.  He likes to carry all kinds of creature comforts with him.  The solar panel is to power his TV!

More Kids on Bikes...Just what we love at SBC!

Below Jilian Pyle is taking her first ride on new Burley Piccolo Trailer with her mother Jessica. The Burley Trailer are by far the best trail-a-bike on the market, the rack mounted  trailer makes the connectivity quick, easy and stiff.

There are so many ways to get your kids experience bike riding with you, this is just another way!
