What you need to know about: TEST RIDES       

We offer many wonderful types, brands and models of bicycles. One of the best ways to select the right one is taking test rides to feel how they differ from each other and from your current ride. In fact, most people feel that this is the best part of shopping for new bikes. However, for your safety (and the care of our bikes), we'd like to explain:

Our Requirements, What To Wear And Bring, How We Prep The Bike and how you should Test Ride the bike.

What To Wear And Bring
While you're welcome to test ride our bicycles in street clothes, we recommend wearing athletic or rubber-soled shoes so that you'll be able to pedal and get on and off each bicycle comfortably.


Our Requirements
In order to test ride a bicycle, you must be at least 16 years of age or come into the store with your legal parent or guardian.

We require a valid driver's license or state id and a major credit card for more expensive bikes to go out on a test ride. We'll make a copy of your I.D and credit card before you take a test ride. Also, for your safety, test rides aren't possible when the weather's bad or it's dark. 

How We Prep The Bike
Once you've selected a model to test ride, we'll give it a quick once-over to ensure it's ride ready.

Please tell us if you're unfamiliar with shifting and braking so we can demonstrate.  

The Test Ride
Test Ride should be long enough for riders to get a feel for how the bicycle rides, but is not intended for extend distance or time. Feel free to ride far enough to brake, shift and really feel how the bike handles.
We expect you to return in <15 minutes just in case someone else wishes to try the bike you're on. Also, if you're gone much longer we'll worry that something's gone wrong.  Please be nice to our bicycles to keep them in new condition, too. Abusive riding or improper handling can cause damage.
