Bikes just wanna have fun...

Imagine afternoon bike rides to the Napa vineyards, Angel Island, and hundreds of coastline trails literally minutes from your doorstep. Get off that sofa, keep the money in your wallet, and get riding!

Cruiser bikes won't go fast and hate hills. If that's a perfect match for how you want to ride, check these out. They're made for pure cruising. The Giant Suede bikes are sweet choices.

Comfort bikes are perfect for exploring the Bay Area's many destinations and local parks. The smooth tread on the tires give you a fast, quiet ride on pavement while still allowing you to ride dirt paths of Angel Island and Yosemite. Comfort bikes put you in an extreme upright position, maximizing your visibility of the road while relieving pressure on your back, neck, and wrists. Plus, you'll get pre-equipped comfort features such as: suspension seatpost, suspension fork, gel saddle, no-grip pedals, and anatomical grips. The Specialized Crossroads Elite is the perfect comfort bike.

Mountain hybrids can ride off-road trails with pretty decent performance. You'll lose some climbing ability (given your body is more upright) and descending (no jumping, please!). But they can handle fire trails and singletracks, and their taller wheels give you a smooth, fast ride on pavement, also. Front suspension has lockout ability for pavement use, and your body's upright posture gives you great comfort. Specialized Ariel are the forerunners of this new type of bike.

Commuter bikes generally have neutral body position on the bike (imagine your back at 45 degrees), no suspension forks for light and efficient pedaling, and smooth tires. This segment has exploded in popularity, and we stock many types of these rigs: The Giant Escape series, the Giant Via series & Live series.
