FROM YOUR
LOCAL
BIKE
SHOP
Bike shops are where it all starts. They’re the hub for group rides, gatherings and,
of course, tales of who was faster on what trail and who had the
lamest excuse for being
the slowest. Shops can
be amazing sources
of wisdom and motivation. There are good
ones and bad ones, of
course, and it’s up to
you to figure out which
are which and how to
get the most out of
them. Supporting your
local shop can have
such a positive impact,
and it’s sad to see riders
blowing off their local
shops for reasons that
can easily be avoided.
Here are some tips to
getting the most out of
your shop experience.
{ TIPS}
Ask questions: We encourage every rider to understand the basic mechanical
principles of their bikes. You have to know your limitations, however, and don’t
be afraid to ask your local shop for help or get how-to advice.
