Bicycle shops---customer service at it's finest.

So here it is, cycling season is here and in full force.

So as the snow melts away, the potholes are filled in and spring commences. Where do you stand with the bicycle maintenance?

Do you need a yearly tune up?

Do you need a new seat?

Do you need new brakes?

Do you need a new helmet?

Do you need new shoes?

If you are like the millions of cyclists, commutators and weekend warriors. YOU are ready to hit the streets NOW.

But, with any exercise we have to stretch, we have to prepare ourselves...So why is your bike any different? We must give the bike a little love, a little TLC. I know if I jump right into a exercise routine, the next day my legs are sore, my lower back hurts and my hamstrings are tights. I have to stretch.

Your bike is exactly the same--get it prepared before you head out--I know what happens if you don't. Roadside assistance will be required.

So please take your bike up to the shop and have a tune up done. You can thank me later,with all honesty you will thank yourself...Be like the Boy Scouts; be prepared.

April will be here soon, bike shops would love for you to go now, versus waiting in line and scheduling out two, three weeks.

Thanks a bunch--this is light--but start that preparation now.
