Brand new to Madera Bike Shop and sure to sell quickly are these two new United BMX bikes.  The United Recruit RN1 comes complete with three-piece cranks, 25/9 drivetrain and really rad purple rims all for the low price of $309.99.  At that price, these are sure to sell out quickly, so come in and check them out now before it's too late! 

We just got a couple new bikes in that I am really excited about.  The first one is the Sun Streamway, pictured below.  What I really, really love about the Streamway is its ultra low step-thru design that makes getting on and off super easy.  This bike is incredibly comfortable and easy to ride, and I know it is going to make cycling accessible to more people than ever.  Good job, Sun Bicycles! 

The other bike I'm particularly excited about is the Cruz (picture below) because, well, because it's just cute!  Look at it!  Plus, it's lightweight and inexpensive.  How can you not be excited about that?  We also have the men's model in stock, and it's just as nice looking, I promise.

Thank you to everyone for coming out and helping us honor and remember Erick.  We really wanted to have a day devoted to friendships and cycling, as those were two things atop Erick's priority list.  He was never too busy to be a good friend, and you could always count on him for a ride.  It was a fun day of riding, laughing, adventuring (for a few!), and relaxing.  It was also a day to remember to never take your loved ones for granted, and to always make sure your friends and family know how much they are loved.  We miss you, Erick!  Ride On...Rock On!!!

Make sure to give Erick a holler as you ride past his memorial on 007!

Lalo's dogs rode quite a bit with Erick, too, you know!

Go to ibikefresno.org and sign up for the MIllion Mile Challenge!   The goal is for Fresno-area residents (and this includes you, Madera - I doublechecked!) to ride a total of a million miles (or more!) during May, National Bike Month.  Every mile counts, whether it's riding to the grocery store, around the neighborhood, or on a 50-mile training ride.  It seems like a big challenge, but if we all sign up and log our miles, we can achieve it in no time!  Now get pedaling! 

Are you a roadie looking for someone to pedal with?  A local cycling group was recently formed and it is growing fast!  If you are interested in more information on how to get set up with Clipper Cycling, stop by the shop and we'll get you all set up!

Brandon Dorman of Tri-This (click here if you want to read more about this great organization) is starting a mountain bike team at McLane High School in Fresno as part of the NorCal High School Cycling League and is trying to get other area schools to follow suit.  Tri-This hosted the first Hensley Lake Duathlon in February and is working to bring the race back as part of the high school series.  The goal is to have cycling teams at each of the area high schools.  If you are interested in helping to get this off the ground, please contact Brandon at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it .  He is doing great things for Central Valley kids so let's support him out as much as we can!
