I will be starting with 4 classes in the first two weeks of October. These classes will all be for flat fixing and removing wheels. This class will be extremely basic and targeted for people with no bicycle maintenance experience. You will be required to bring your own bicycle to the class and dress in [...]
The Bicycle Heaven Crew has returned from Interbike and are ready to show off some new products. Once again when I thought there was not much left to change in bicycle technology I was wrong.

Saturday: Show up here, turn it up to ludicrous speed for around an hour, sprint after the bell. Sunday: Drive to Maple Park, hammer when the clock thing starts beeping, ride until you are about to barf, turn around, ride until you barf. It’s going to be a great weekend of racing. Thanks to our [...]

This week we had a junior, some masters and we were up to 3 very fast girls included in the mix. All having fun on cyclocross and mountain bikes. Come [...]
Ara dropping knowledge in front of some of the jerseys the team has won this year.

The EVO is so good that in march 2012 Tour Magazine in Germany named it the “best bike in the world”. Supersix EVO is: Light – [...]
The Bicycle Heaven group ride has been pushed forward to 5:30. Should be a great ride tonight. Also, there will be banditcross tonight at 8:30. More details here. Extra peppy riders should be able to hit both.
