TREK Continues to Innovate and Lead the Industry

Imagine having a beautiful bicycle with industry-leading engineering, materials and components that rides like a dream.  Now imagine having the same bicycle customized just for you and you get the concept of Trek's Project One (P1) program.  If you have not played on the Project One site - you are truly missing out on amazing experience as you can see your unique custom bike come to life before your very eyes. Paint, color, wheels, bars, drive train, gear ratios and cable colors - all combined just for you at no additional charge.

P1 has always been limited to high-end road and tri bikes.  I remember recommending to Trek that they expand this program to high-end mountain bikes given the program's flexibility and popularity with customers.  That concept as come true with today's announcement from Trek that the Superfly and Fuel EX 29 mountain bikes are now available through P1.  No one else in the industry even comes close to the success of Trek's P1 and we are excited to offer this program through Two Wheel Transit..

Here are some of the details:

A Great Night of Racing

Perfect weather, A record turn-out and a Bunch of Jr. Racers made for a perfect night for the first Wednesday Night Mountain Bike Race this week.  We enjoyed the spirited racing at all levels and sponsoring the race that night. 

The Jr. Racers came out in force and rocked the course set by the Evil Gino.  We are pretty sure that everyone walked away with some swag and smile.  Thanks again for coming out!

A photo with most of the junior racers - All junior race fees were covered by the shop this night.

Kid's Bike Safety Fair and Skills Clinic

Thanks to the awesome members of the Gonzaga Cycling Club, our first bike safety fair and skills clinic went off without a hitch.  The college students got a welcomed break from studying for finals and the kids who participated got some first rate instruction and practice.  Most of the kids were from the surrounding neighborhood and had heard about the event through Grant Elementary.

The only angst was among the customers of the florist across the street arriving and finding that we were actually using our entire parking lot and having to park on the street.

We had a lot of support and a respectable turnout for the event for the first year and have a few changes in mind to make it better next year.

The Gonzaga students running the event worked on safety rules, bike inspection and rules of the road.

They laid-out a really fun course in the parking lot to then let the kids practice what they had learned and build confidence on bike handling course

The students connected well with the kids and everyone had a good time - here is a select sample mugging for the camera

 

Next year we hope to team up with a couple of other organizations early in the process to make it bigger and better.  Thanks again GU Cycling Club!
