Some of Our Favorite Fall Products
Fall is well underway and with Fall comes some great apparel. One of our favorite riding pieces is the Chrome Women's Pasha Merino Wool Hoodie (or the Cobra Men's Wool Hoodie for you guys). It's warm, soft and oh so comfy. Plus, it looks great either on or off the bike. For bottoms, nothing beats the Showers Pass Storm Pant. They keep the water out and are roomy enough to fit over jeans.
If you're not into riding in less than stellar conditions, bike trainers, rollers and accessories are now in stock in the store. come in and check out the latest offerings from Cycle-Ops, Kinetic, and Lemond trainers. We also carry a wide variety of training DVDs from Carmichael Training System. Whether you want to train through the fall and winter indoors to improve on climbing, sprinting or time trials, there is a CTS DVD that will help you out. My personal favorites are the Cycling for Fitness and Cycling for Power.
For those of you that do ride through the darker, wetter months, we have the new Light & Motion Urban 180 and Urban 300 rechargeable lights for your commute ride home. The Urban light is a lightweight, weather-proof single unit light. With a lithium-ion battery and light all in one piece there are no wires to deal with. The light charges through a USB port and with the LED bulbs you can rest assure that you will see and be seen for a long time (up to 8 hours long!).
