If you are going to be beginning a new lifestyle as a cyclist or you are an old vet about to start working-over your ample stable of rides; do it now! Bike shops will be slammed in just a few weeks. They are already writing about it in the Tribune.

If you are spring-cleaning; take that old bike and or any parts from the bin to Working Bikes on Western Ave. It is simple, fast, painless and it’s just a good thing to do.

As far as getting a new bike (this is where I dissagree w/ the Trib); if you are looking to make a sound investment, stop in at your local shop. they will fit you to an appropriate and affordable bike. If your in the area of our offices, there’s no better shop than Amling’s on Milwaukee Ave in Niles.

Enjoy the weekend! Sprint for spring!
