NEW NAME - NEW LOCATION!

What's the name of that bike shop in Old Town? Spin Cycle? Spin City? Spin...? I dunno...it's Spin something...

Since no one could remember the full, correct name of the shop we decided to make it easy.
The bicycle shop in Old Town is now officially known as, SPIN. Plain and simple.

With the new name is a new location!
SPIN is now located right around the corner on Grand River across from the Sir Pizza parking lot. You can't miss it.

We're still in the process of arranging everything, but sales and service are in full swing.
Stop in and check out the new place - it's shaping up to be a beautiful location with all the Old Town charm you'd expect.

Catrike Blue Jean Commute

Chad has logged almost 200 miles on the Catrike riding back and forth to work.
This is what he says about the Catrike Road, "I can't remember having so much fun on a bike! Here are a few cool things I've learned about riding a Catrike":

• Staying clipped in at stop lights is cool!
• Motorists think you're a unique object and give you LOTS of room while passing
• I can answer cell phone calls with no problem - and even carry on a conversation while sipping my water...all while keeping it on the road
  
• I'm only about 1mph slower on the Catrike than on my road bike
• It's fabulous to lay back and relax while coasting down hills
• There is absolutely NO way to appreciate this type of trike without taking a serious test ride.
  

There is a Catrike available for test riding at SPIN - any time it's dry outside! Come take it for a whirl :)

Demo Bike Special #2 - Bianchi Milano Cita 18" Black

The Milano Cita is a blast to ride. She's taken us on a handful of trips to the hardware, made a few lunch runs and and has seen both ends of the river trail a few times.
Fenders and a sturdy rack make this bike a perfect commuter, campus cruiser or recreational ride.
Light use has left her in exceptionally good health, very close to showroom condition in fact.

Regular price: $600.00
Demo Sale Price: $399.00

Winter Commuting and Recumbent Trikes

For most "all weather" commuters, the one stopper to pedaling for transportation is fundamental safety. When roads get snowy and iced over, staying upright on a conventional two-wheeler is a challenge. Enter the three wheeled recumbent.
This ride will transport you faithfully in all conditions short of deep snow in stable, efficient comfort. Equipped with a fairing, frozen fingers are taken out of the equation as well. This beauty stopped one of my die-hard commuters in his tracks as he approached the sales counter. "You're tempting me, man", he said, before I was able to deliver my sales pitch.
Trikes are available for test ride now. Come see what I'm talking about.
