Bicycle Insurance
Did you know that you can get insurance to protect against accidental damage to your bicycle, plus optional theft protection? A dedicated bicycle insurance policy from BikeInsure has a lower deductible compared to your homeowners or renters insurance, and making a claim won't affect the rates of your homeowners/renters policy.
Where to Ride
Northeast Ohio has a vast network of bike paths and mountain bike trails, and we've catalogued as many as we can, plus a selection of curated road cycling routes and tips for bicycle touring and bikepacking.
Events
From fund-raising to just plain FUN, we have bicycling events that we organize and sponsor throughout the year!
Finding People to Ride With
Whether you call the north, south, east, or west side home, there's a local bicycling club in your area where you can find like-minded friends to have a party on two wheels. Most clubs hold regularly-scheduled group rides for all skill levels, plus their own organized event rides.
Take it with you
Get your bike to your destination and back home safely with a rack for your vehicle. All hitch and trunk-mounted racks include our expert assembly and installation! Ask us about custom roof-top racks, too.
Take it on your bike
Whether you're heading across the country or just out to explore your local park, there are many ways to carry the essential items you might need during a ride, from camping gear to lunch and spare parts.
Safety
Protect your most valuable asset and make sure you're seen and heard on the road or trail!
And of course, if you ever have ANY questions or problems, please feel free to stop into any of our three stores or call us! We are here to make your bike riding FUN!
