February Is All About Spreading the Love!


Greetings!

Well we've made it through the incredibly frigid and salty mess that was January, but here comes February and who knows what chills this month might bring, but hey, the past couple of days have seemed almost hot compared to how cold it's been!  And according to the weatherman, our football playing visitors from Seattle and Denver will enjoy relatively temperate conditions for game-day this Sunday.

Any warm up at all gets us excited for biking season, but we've still got some time on our hands before the spring rush and we suggest you take advantage of that by cashing in on our...


Every year it's a big hit, namely because The Madison Bicycle Shop is the home of THE WORLD'S CLEANEST TUNE-UP!  If you've never had us service your bike before, come experience our work quality for yourself at a steeply discounted price!

Secondly, taking the advocacy cue from John Burke, head of Trek Bicycles, we invite you to watch the following video and always keep rider safety at the forefront of your mind.


It seems to have gotten a little bit safer out there for cyclists, but certainly not safe enough.  If you want to join up with the folks that are doing most of the work in the bicycle advocacy movement, take a look at People For Bikes.  These guys are out there doing what it takes to improve trails, increase bike lanes and make it safer for all of us to enjoy the activity we love the most!  Stop by our store today and join up with them.  The intangible benefits of membership in the People for Bikes movement are mighty, but there's also a free button AND sticker in it for you...


Come on down!

That's all for now folks!  Happy riding to you!

The January Road Bike Sampler!

Happy January Folks!

There are far too many "it's cold outside" jokes and memes going around on the internet already so we won't subject you to any further grief in that department...


...sorry we couldn't help ourselves.

Alright, with that out of the way, January, regardless of the weather is always road bike season and this month we bring you the Madison Bicycle Shop Road Bike Sampler!

If you're looking at getting into road biking, Trek makes it easier than ever to get a great road bike for an affordable price.  Trek's 1 Series road bikes are just that and they beat the pants off of the competition!




Priced at $769.99 for the 1.1 (white), $929.99 for the 1.2 (blue), and $1199.99 for the 1.5 (black), you cannot go wrong with the value and ride quality of these bikes!

On the women's specific side of things Trek offers the Lexa...


Three other models are available, the Lexa S, the Lexa SL, and the Lexa SLX.  Prices range from $740-$1590.  You can check them all out on our website by clicking right HERE!

Moving up from there, there's basically two other road platforms: the Madone...


...and the Domane.


The difference between these two bikes is pretty simple, but substantial.  The Madone is your race bike, your speed bike.  While the Domane is certainly a very speedy racing bike, it's built with all-day comfort and stamina in mind.  Originally developed for the cobblestone races of Europe, the Domane, with it's IsoSpeed fork and seat-tube decoupler, can take a beating without giving you one in return.  

While the Domane comes in four different levels, the Madone comes in six and Project One customization is available on both models.

Check out the Madone by clicking HERE!

This month we're doing something extra special!  Get 20% off the bike of your dreams (and the rest of your entire purchase) when you sign up for or use the Trek Card!  Read all about it right HERE!


That's it for this month folks!  Stop by our store and warm up!  Our fancy new thermostat is cranking away and the coffee's piping hot!  Happy Riding to you!
