What Do We Recommend?

After over a decade in the business we like to believe that the makes and models we sell today ALL offer better value than anything else on our market.

eZee, Giant, Brompton and Bike Friday all produce outstanding bikes with committed product support.

Obviously one model may suit one customer's needs and wants better than another. If you care to share with us what level rider you are, what your typical rides may involve (specifically about hills and distance) and your expectations we shall be glad to talk about what we may have learned from thousands of customers and our own daily (just about) riding.

Why don't we carry other brands? In some instances we did for a while and in other we never did. In some instances there was nothing to carry as the bikes proved 'vapor ware', i.e. merely hyped.

It is definitely not our place to discuss or offer an opinion on brands we do not carry. For authoritative, independent reviews you may want to subscribe to 'A to B Magazine'.
