Sneak Peek at Trek's 2014 Model Year!


A few of Trek's bikes for 2014 have already become available, and well alright I guess we'll let you have a look.  It seems they're coming out earlier and earlier every year!  First off there's the new Fuel EX 29'rs that have everyone very excited.  They come in some pretty freaky color schemes too!  Scroll dowwwwn!





Then there's the all new Remedy 29'r available in the models simply known as the 7, the 8 or the 9.  Check those out too!
 



Now let's talk about the 2014 Trek models that will inevitably end up as truly the most popular world-wide.  First off there's a new look to their very sweet entry level mountain bike, the 3500...


Then there's the very cool new 7.4 FX Women's Specific Design flat bar road bike in a cool blue color that even has a cool name: "Nocturne"...

 
And finally, let's take a look at one that we've already got right here in the shop...the brand new Trek 820!  Same offerings and same price as the 2013 model but a very stealthy looking flat grey/red color scheme that's bound to turn some heads.


Well folks, that's all the sneak peeks we've got for you so far...usually it's not until August that we get such access to the new stuff but we'll keep you posted as it comes in.  Until then, Happy Riding!

Sing The Bike Electric!



Greetings!

This month, you are cordially invited to come and check out a couple of new bikes that we've got over here at the Madison Bicycle Shop (currently both of them are in our windows to be exact).  The first one is a demo of Trek's unique Ride+ system.  A bit about that from Trek's website:

Ride+ is a bicycle with a motor and battery. It provides a boost to your own pedal power, so you can ride farther, faster, and with less effort. Trek Ride+ bikes are the best electric-assist models on the market, with quick, predictable, easy-to-control power and a long-lasting removable battery that recharges at any household outlet.

 

Electric, done better
Fly up hills. Scoff at the wind. Haul a heavy load. Take the long way home. And do it all without breaking a sweat, thanks to the smooth, exhilarating power of electric assist. Unbelievably fun, undeniably practical.

Convenience
Easily removable high-capacity battery can be recharged on or off the bike. A standard wall outlet is all you need.

Ease
Just engage the Trek Syn Drive, choose your level of assistance, and go. Pedal as much as you want, and the bike will assist you as much as you want.


Quiet power
High-performance Silent Drive brushless hub motor delivers smooth, consistent power.


Smooth control
Syn Drive is the best electric motor control system available. Smooth starts, controlled stops, and a clear, multi-function display.

 

This year Trek has simplified the lineup with the three most popular, most practical platforms:

The T80+


The T80+ Lowstep


And their very unique cargo bike the Transport+


Come on down and try out this amazing electric assist system for yourself.  You'll be SHOCKED... no no no AMAZED by how well it performs!

The other very cool bike we'd love to show you is the Pure...


ooooh!  Look at that!  The lowstep version is also available in three other colors...


...and there's also a regular version available in two.



The reason this bike looks like some kind of gnarly lowrider is...because it is!  If you notice how, in the pictures up there, the cranks and pedals are kinda in front of the wide and comfy saddle, it's that positioning that allows the rider to be seated while also confidently flat footed on the ground while at rest.  You then also have a pretty nifty, forward pedaling position while riding.  It's sort of like a beach cruiser...but better!  Come on down and try out a Pure today!

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Trails to you!  

(oh and props to Walt Whitman for the inspiration behind the title to this month's post)

Cool New Stuff!

Hey check out our newly painted up windows!


You probably didn't even notice them since they finally match the rest of our logos everywhere else, but if you compare them to the old look...


The difference is pretty significant right?  We had them painted by an amazing local artist, a master of his craft.  Watching him work was so mesmerizing and distracting!  If you'd like to hire him for any lettering work that you might need, just get in touch with us and we can hook you up!  
 
Well that's one of the latest little improvements around here in the ongoing renovation/overhaul of our shop.  Keep checking back!  There's more to come and we'll be sure to keep you updated...
 
Oh, and one more thing...check out our little snack counter!
 

This is where we'll be keeping different edibles for energy boosts, sustenance, and recovery.  Spring is here and it's time to stock up!  We don't want you bonking out there with such nice riding weather in our midst.  Right now we've got products from Honey Stinger, GU, Endurox and Hammer and they all taste pretty good and get the job done when you've still got miles and miles ahead of you.  Are there any particular products that you'd like us to carry?  Be sure and let us know!  Call us, email us, or stop in and see us today!

That's all for now folks!  Happy Biking!

Renovations Complete! Grand Re-opening to Come!

Greetings!

 We hope you're all having a wonderful 2013 to date.  March is almost wrapped up, "Spring" started yesterday, our winter renovation project is pretty much complete, all sorts of new stock is arriving daily, and we're even resurrecting this old blog from last year that we never had a chance to get off the ground!

 Check out all the improvements that we've made on our facebook page and be sure to like us there too!  Better yet stop by in person and see them for yourself!

We're planning a Grand Re-Opening of sorts for the near future...there will be more details on that to come but we hope to see you there!

 That's all for now, so until next time, Happy Riding!

Chain Installation Class:  The techniques used to replace a chain will also help you repair one should you or a riding companion have a problem on the road or trail. For example, as long as you carry a chain tool, it's a fairly simple matter to repair something as serious as a broken chain, which would otherwise leave you stranded. Please join us this Saturday 2/4/12 for this class at 10:30 a.m.
