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!

Figgy Pudding

Hellooooo December...

Good Tidings!

Hold on...alright seriously how is it already December?  And what happened to the fall?

In, like, the blink of an eye we went from this:



and this

and this

and this...

to THIS!

AND THIS!!

AND THIS!!!

Well at least we've still got the holidays to look forward to...wait a tick, we've already blown past one of those too!  What is going on around here?  Why is time speeding by like a Tour de France Peloton?  This is no joke, even Hanukkah began early this year.  At least we've got 79,043 years before that happens again.  What are we going to do about this whole time-flying thing though?  Oh well, same old story, but how was your Thanksgiving by the way?  We hope it was festive and joyful, and we hope your Hanukkah is festive and joyful too as it is still underway at the time of this writing.

Festive and joyful, festive and joyful....cold weather always brings the Madison Bicycle Shop morale just  down, down, down, and then down some more...but that's exactly how we've learned to combat the pull--by getting festive and joyful!  Read on to see how our guide could help you too!

ACHIEVING JOYFUL FESTIVENESS:

A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE 

FOR THE COLD AND DEPRESSED SMALL TOWN BICYCLE SHOP

Step 1.  String up your awesomely old-school Christmas lights.

Step 2.  Break out your A Charlie Brown Christmas replica Christmas tree and place it upon your Bontrager saddles kiosk.  Swaddle its base in a length of mechanic's towels from your Small Engine Repair Shop to approximate a rather convincing analog for Linus van Pelt's iconic security blanket.

Source Material:

Step 3.  Place your little sweater moose in the front window.

Step 4.  Direct his irresistibly beckoning little sweater moose gaze into the current of sidewalk foot-traffic.

Step 5.  Hire an elfin Barista for the holiday shopping season and position her atop your coffee station (e.g., The Piccolo Cafe).

Tip:  If you generally value your sleep, do not engage in prolonged, direct eye contact with the aforementioned elfin Barista.

Step 6.  Make arrangements for SANTA CLAUS (What??? YES!) to make an appearance at your magical workshop on Saturday, December 7th 2013 from Noon till 2pm.  Make sure that he will be available for wish-list confirmations and photo opportunities with the good* children of the area.  Remind your customers to bring their cameras for prime moment-capturing. 

*Naughty children also welcome but Madison Bicycle Shop cannot guarantee an absence of coal in the stockings of any individual in attendance.  Final internal coal-to-gift ratio of any stocking is subject solely to contract with K. Kringle Inc. pending completion of thorough stocking-bearer behavior review for calender year 2013.

Step 7.  Establish an exclusively designated yuletide sitting device for Mr. Claus and ensure that it is appropriately adorned in accordance with his specifications and level of Christmas Spirit.  Outfit device with a visual reminder to customers of his visit which will take place on Saturday, December 7th 2013 from Noon till 2pm.  Visual reminder should subsequently remind customers to bring their cameras along with them to the event.

Step 8.   Offer Free Holiday Lay-A-Way and Free Shipping!*

 *We will gladly store any gift until 2pm on December 24th with a 25% deposit and we are able to offer free shipping on most orders over $50.00.

Step 9.  Put your Santa belly basket barrel on your sales counter and fill it with decorative, bicycle sized bags that make great camouflage for big ol' bike-shaped gifts.  

 If you are Ebenezer Scrooge, skip steps 10 and 11 and proceed immediately to step 12.  If you are not Ebenezer Scrooge, disregard directions in bold above and continue on to step 10.

 Step 10.  PUT 'EM ON SALE!

Step 11.  PUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF ON SALE TOO!

We've made your holiday shopping easy by reducing our top selling bicycles below any competitor's pricing.  If you find a better price within 25 miles of our store and it is in fact the same exact product we will match the price.  We will also accept any competitor's coupons.  If you are not satisfied with our selection or reduced holiday prices, you may reduce the price of any bicycle in the Trek collection by 10%.

*The fine print: No combining coupons.  While supplies last.  Valid until 12/24/13.

 If you're not Ebenezer Scrooge, congratulations!  You're all done!

 If you are Ebenezer Scrooge, first of all you're not even supposed to be reading this, but whatever, we expected as much, come on now, move along, go on to step 12.

 Step 12.  FOLLOW THIS GHOST!

So that's about it!  "The most wonderful time of year" is well underway and the shop is looking real good:

Come on by and see for yourself!

Until then, Happy Holidays to You and Yours!

OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE!

...and to all a good night.
