Anniversary Party!

Come HANG OUT!  Everybody likes to party!

Sunday, December 3rd between 10-2pm we'll be hosting an anniversary party with free food, drinks, and demo bikes courtesy of Specialized! 

Downtown Ride Cyclery is now part of the rentabikenow network!  Offering daily bike rentals with the new Specialized Alibi forming the core of our fleet.

The Specialized Alibi received a big redesign for 2017, now coming stock with 'airless' tires that allow a puncture-free/worry-free riding experience (they don't flat!).  The geometry is a step-above a beach cruiser, making it the perfect city-commuter for locals and visitors a like.

Rentals start at $40 per 24-hour period and include lock and helmet.  You can reserve yours here!

Never want to get a flat again?  Looking to purchase?  Alibis begin around $475 and go up to $650 for a triple-crank, ALL MODELS come with the new 'airless' tires!

Check. It. Out.

For 2017 Specialized unveiled the Tarmac SL6, a new take on an already iconic frame with a lot of cycling-heritage.  Nearly 200 grams lighter than the SL5 (that translates to almost 20%), clearance for 30mm tires and direct-mount brakes, the new SL6's performance is as good as its aesthetics.  More aero and compliant than the prior generation, us here at RIDE feel these changes particularly in hard efforts and short sprints. 

One of the only shops in the country to receive one - the Sagan SL6 Superstar Edition - our RIDE Cyclery Downtown Mechanic/Manager, Jose Leyva, took the opportunity to build-up a bike worthy of the World Champion!

S-Works carbon bars, Zipp stem, the latest from Cane Creek/ee cycleworks in direct-mount brakes, coupled with a full SRAM Red E-Tap groupo & Zipp 303 NSW's brought this build in just around 13.10lbs! 

Price? 
This complete build will set you back a cool $12500, the frame retailing for $4250.

Until then, it'll be on display at Ride Cyclery - Downtown

• S-Works Tarmac SL6 Superstar Edition Frameset (FACT 12r Carbon)
• S-Works Carbon Shallow Road Bar
• Zipp SL Speed Road Stem
• SRAM Red E-Tap Groupo + Crankset
• Front/Rear ee cycleworks Direct Mount Brakes.
• Challenge Paris-Roubaix Handmade Open Tubular Tires
• Zipp 303 NSW wheelset

New for 2017, Pinarello now allows riders of all levels to design the bike of their dreams via Pinarello My Way!  Through a multitude of different colors and accents, the tool allows the imagination to run wild and design the Pinarello F10/F8 or KAS of your dreams!

The finished product can be shared with your friends via social media or in this case one of our customers took the extra step in making her dream a reality!
