The Surly Pugsley has drawn a lot of attention since finding its home here in our shop. We've all but lost count of the amount of people who have inquired about its purpose. I’ve started calling it "The Apocalypse Bike" when the question comes up, because I feel as if it is just that: a tool for traversing the many terrains that might present themselves at the End of Days. Snow, mud, and sand are no match for the gigantic 26 x 3.7" Surly tires, which roll over just about anything in their path. Couple their huge size with the super low PSI possibilities such a large tire offers, and you get an incredible natural suspension whilst riding over such things as debris, abandoned vehicles, and zombie carcasses as you make your way through the rubble. The equipped front and rear disc brakes ensure proper braking power in wet and dry conditions alike. 
One might think that this Fat Bike is as heavy as a motorcycle, but on the contrary, the entire rig weighs in at a meager ~34.5 pounds, making it easy to heave over your shoulder as you hurdle through jammed roads of traffic and make your way out of the evacuating city. The 4130 chromoly used to build the frame tubes make the bike comfortable, lightweight, and (almost) atomic bomb-proof. When you've finally found your way out of the panicking urban jungle and into a rural area where streams, creeks, and other bodies of water are so often prevalent, rest assured that you can float on this puppy until you find yourself again on dry land. Oh, and a modest mountain gear ratio gives you the proper range for riding up the sides of mountains, hills, and embankments, as well as through fields, beaches, and frozen ponds as you flee from the impending doom which is all around you. The world may be coming to an end, your friends estranged, and possessions gone… But hey, at least you still have your Pugsley |

A rack on your bicycle will allow you to take some stress off your back and exponentially expand the amount you can carry. We stock a full line of Jandd racks capable of anything from city grocery runs to cross-country expeditions. Jandd products are not only made of the highest quality materials, but are guaranteed for the lifetime of the user, which will give you peace of mind while you’re out on the road. If your bicycle doesn’t have rack mounts, Jandd carries a variety of adapters that our mechanics can use to convert your bike to carry as much cargo as you desire.

We also carry several baskets, bags, and panniers that will attach to your rack. Collapsible baskets allow you to open them when you need them, and stay closed with a clasp when not in use. For waterproof panniers and grocery bags, we currently stock the Axiom Monsoon Lx and Hunter Shopper bag. The Axiom Monsoons are totally waterproof even in the most inclement weather, and the adjustable hook and bunjee system will keep all your valuables secure to your bike. The Hunter Shopper is a semi-rigid bag that can fold in on itself when not in use, and also comes with a shoulder strap- so it can double as both your grocery and bike bag. With gas prices continuing to rise, a rack and bags are definitely a smart investment for everyday commuting and running errands.

But what happened to Giro? Nothing, we are still stocking commuter-specific Giro and Bell helmets. We chose Lazer for our performance mountain and road line of helmets because of some of the awesome features they offer. Big on the list is the Lazer Rollsys© wire retention system. The retention system is the fitting device that gives helmets a custom fit by snugging it to your head. Lazer Rollsys© provides a smooth adjusting interface in contrast to other ratchet-based retension systems. High end models like the Lazer O2 and Oasiz come with anti-microbial, temperature regulating X-Static© paddings.
