FUEL UP

 Take a detour and wander into town for lunch and catch up with us at The Studio.

Danville Area Sustainable Businesses – Norm’s Place, La Boulange Bakery and Jules Thin Crust will encourage safe bicycle riding by offering Bike-to-Lunch specials for two wheeling customers who visit with their bike helmet on Bike-to-Work Day, Thursday, May 12th and before the Bike Fit Clinic on May 22nd.

 

BIKE-FITTING EXPO  (1:00-4:00p)

The Studio is hosting industry experts to educate riders of all ages and abilities about how proper gear and bike fit can improve comfort and performance.

Try one or all of the brand new models from the 2011 Giant Bicycle Collection to be custom-fitted to complement your unique body mechanics, dimensions, strength and riding style. Bikes will range from casual beach cruisers to high performance race models.

Danville Bikes will provide professional custom fittings, as well as demonstrations on clipless pedals, advice on bike saddles and helmet fittings for comfort and safety.  There will also be a large selection of cycling apparel and accessories for the whole family.

Ten percent (10%) of the proceeds from your purchases at the Bike Fit Clinic will go to the local school of your choice or to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Team ClubSport will be on hand to provide information about local training and racing for cyclists of all ages and abilities. Visitors will also benefit from meeting Giant Bike Representative and USA Cycling Coach, Kelli Poindexter who will be available to answer our most perplexing cycling questions.

SUPPORT YOUR FAVORITE SCHOOL

It will be easy to purchase any of these custom-fitted bikes, and it’s definitely encouraged since 10% of proceeds will be donated to a local school (of YOUR choice!!) or to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
