Blizzard of 2009!

By -

The skies opened up on Friday and Saturday as the snow fell for almost a 24 hour period. The shop was closed on Saturday as downtown was mostly deserted, except for those with cross country skis. All day Saturday you could ski the paved roads of Harrisonburg including main st, Cantrell, Mason and Chicago. It was a nice change to see people on skis or on foot taking over the roads from cars. The occasional car was forced to drive slow and carefully unlike when the streets are clear and wide. Ski tracks were set in Hillandale, Rock garden and the Arboretum but the real treat has been skiing the SVBC built trails over at Massanutten. The Upper Ravine and lower Ravine are particularity fun and exciting with many grade reversals and banked turns. The shop is all clear of snow and as you can see from the picture, Thomas made sure to shovel out the bike rack on main st (despite the snowplow's efforts to thwart bicycle parking). Jeremiah, Andy and Kyle got their picture taken as they skied down Main St. Keep the bikes in the garage and get out the skis for until the big melt!

Shenandoah Bicycle Company Bikes Looking for a Good Home From time to time we have bikes that hang around the shop a little longer than we would like. Often the bikes get lonely when this much time passes and they continue to sit at SBC. Our goal here is to find homes for all of these wonderful bikes where someone will love them, care for them, and most of all ride them! In order to expedite the process of getting these bikes out the door, SBC is prepared to give you some incentives to tickle you into taking one of these sweet machines home. Mention that you saw this on our blog as most of these deals will not be listed on the bikes... The Electra Amsterdam is a Sweet Ride with classic style. Full fenders and chain guard promise versatility while the internally geared 3-speed hub is simple and maintenance free. The bike also incorporates "Flat foot" technology, which allows the rider to place their feet flat on the ground while sitting on the seat. This bike has the old-...

USA Made Cycling products

Sustainable products produced in the United States have become harder and harder to find these days but here at SBC we still try our best to stock products by companies who care about their impact on the world. Products made in the USA do create and preserve US jobs but that is only a fraction of the argument. Garments produced here ensure that the workers are paid a livable wage and work under decent conditions. This is in stark contrast to many of the other garments that we wear when they are produced in nameless factories overseas. Our primary bike line, Trek , the largest bike company in the country is the only major bicycle company to still make ANY frames in the United States. All high end Trek OCLV carbon road and mountain bikes are STILL made in Trek's Waterloo Wisconsin factory. All Madone frames starting at the 5.1 and above are made in the good ol US of A. If you are interested in biking at night either on the road or the trails you should look into Light and Motio...
