You may ask what Bicycle Heaven and Guaranteed Rate have in common? The answer is simple, Pie! Every year Guaranteed Rate gives a Thanksgiving pie to each of their valued customers. These customers were able to select either an apple, pecan or pumpkin pie for the holiday. Here at Bicycle Heaven we also love pie [...]
We are kicking it back one week to 11/27. Sorry for the late notice.
The Team Meeting we talked about last week is being planned out. Please be there if you’re intending to be on the team again (or email one of us if you can’t). Also, the FREE COMPUTRAINER TESTING details are being fleshed out. We will be doing this on the morning of December 8, 2012. A [...]
The current weather forecast looks great, so let’s do this. Who: Us. You? What: 30-40 mile Path ride. It’s NOT going to be fast. Most of us will be on cylocross bikes.

Greetings. Below details some of the questions we have received regarding Campton Cross. Please check it out: 1. Do you have a map of the course? Yes.

First, watch the greatest cyclocross video ever made (and filmed at Campton Cross): CROSS from Paul Michna on Vimeo. Second, put on the lederhosen, and do it. You know you want to.
Blood, Sweat and Tears at Bartlett’s Sunrise Park What a day. While the weather was probably a little too perfect for cyclocross (more like this in May, please) the racing was fantastic. We’re working on getting a full report and a bunch of pictures online right now. Until then, here’s a brief rundown of some of [...]
