FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Free NiteRider bike light demo at Century Cycles Night Ride on the
Towpath Trail on August 7

PENINSULA, Ohio (July 14, 2010) - Century Cycles is teaming up with NiteRider Technical Lighting Systems to offer local bicyclists the chance to try the company's innovative, high-powered lights on a Century Cycles Night Ride on the Towpath Trail on Saturday, August 7. The NiteRider bicycle light display and free demo begins at 6 p.m. in the parking lot of the Century Cycles bicycle store in Peninsula, Ohio (1621 Main Street, on Route 303 between Route 8 and I-271, next to the Winking Lizard Tavern). The free Night Ride starts in the same lot at 8 p.m.

NiteRider will have an assortment of its most popular bike lights available for bicyclists to demo on the two-hour Night Ride. Those interested in using a NiteRider demo light must provide a driver's license and credit card as collateral, and all demo lights are on a first-come, first-served basis.

The complete line of NiteRider bicycle lighting systems will be on display in NiteRider's rolling showroom that goes to bicycling events around the country, including the Sea Otter Classic and 24 Hours of Moab. In addition to the product demo, a NiteRider representative will be on hand to answer questions, distribute catalogs and give away a NiteRider MiNewt Mini-USB bicycle light (MSRP: $100) by random drawing to one lucky Century Cycles Night Ride participant.

"Last year, the NiteRider demo was our most popular Night Ride on the Towpath Trail ever," said Scott Cowan, owner of Century Cycles. "We're thrilled NiteRider is joining us again this year and that Northeast Ohioans will get a chance to demo their light sets - and maybe even win one."

They attract hundreds of bicyclists who enjoy it as a fun family outing, a unique date night, or a just a casual bicycle ride with friends by moonlight.
