Bike clinic in Feb

2-5-12: Saw this on Cyclery USA's website this weekend - http://cycleryusa.com/about/february-bike-clinic-redlands-store-pg534.htm

I'd attend if I wasn't teaching a stress management class at the same time. Can always learn new things! Gain more confidence in making simple repairs on the road.

Cyclery USA-Redlands donates helmets!

7-29-11: A BIG thanks to Cyclery USA-Redland's general manager, Jon, for donating 3 brand new helmets to Team CycleFit to use as loaners. That was a nice surprise!

At our last ride, we had a couple of newbies join us and they didn't have helmets. TCF strongly encourages the use of helmets, but we don't enforce or make anyone wear one since it's a public bike path and you ride at your own risk.

One of our regular riders, Elena, actually had her helmet but lent it to her younger sister, Tina, who was riding with us for the first time and didn't own a helmet. Way to go, Elena, for sacrificing your safety for her sister's sake!

Afterwards, I thought I should probably get some helmets to use as loaners so when I went to bring in the tandem later that afternoon for a maintenance service (after 5 years of dis-use, thought it prudent to do so since more kids want to do our rides with me on that rig!), I asked Jon if he had any used or older model helmets that I could buy at a discount.

Instead of that, he said he would just donate 3 helmets to Team CycleFit instead! That was more than I expected, and appreciated that because I'm still working on setting up TCF as a non-profit so we can have dues and sponsorship funds going to a budget to cover things like this (instead of Bank of Medina...LOL!).

That's why I encourage all our TCF riders to support your local businesses like Cyclery USA, because they support TCF!

Thx again, Jon and Cyclery USA!

Our 1st ride!

1-2-10: Team Cycle Fit took it's first ride in 2011 after a break of over 5 years! Thx to Cyclery USA's Craig Kundig and Jason for coming out and providing support. Depsite the cool weather and threatening forecast for rain, we had some brave souls show up and ride with us. Check out the pixs!





Stay tuned for our next ride, January 16, on the bike path again. (8:00 bike check/8:30 leave for ride).

Great way to start the new year!
