Looking for a "new" bike?

2-21-13: Often, when new cyclists come and join us on a ride, they realize that their bike from their glory days has passed. I had one lady actually crash right in front of me, her bike was so old! (Fortunately, she was ok...and is now riding a new hybrid bicycle, thanks to CycleryUSA in Redlands).

If you're looking for a "new" bike, here are several options:

1. Search online like Craig's list, ebay, etc. Challenge: You can get great deals, but you have to know what you're doing.

2. Go to CylceryUSA, speak to the GM Jon, and mention TeamCycleFit, which will get you a nice discount. We've had a number of our riders do that. They also donated some helmets to us in case someone showed up without one so I have loaner helmets.

3. If you're looking for a "certified pre-owned" bicycle but you don't have the time or the skills to search for one on Craig's list yourself, the best place to go is the BicycleBBQ, with is run by the Inland Empire Bicycle Alliance.


Hopefully, one of these sources will get you on a new (or new to you!) bicycle so that you can have a safe, fun, time riding with us!
