Bike there with google maps!

Very cool news from Google maps yesterday - you can now get biking directions! The map generated when you select biking directions shows bike trails (marked with dark green), streets that have bike lanes (light green) and streets that are recommended for biking (dotted green). According to Google the route you will get is "optimized for cycling, taking advantage of bike trails, bike lanes, and bike-friendly streets and avoiding hilly terrain whenever possible".

Check it out - here is the bike route from our shop to the Diesel Cafe in Davis.

PART OF THE WEEK!

Hi Folks! This week all lights at BBS will be 20% off. That's right, ALL lights: front, rear, helmet mounted, rack mounted, battery operated, rechargeable, etc. Lights are a very necessary safety feature of your biking experience (and front lights are required by law!). For those of you who don't currently own lights and have found yourself riding more and more after the sun goes down, now is the time to get yourself set up with a pair. Also worth stopping by to see is Planet Bike's relatively new Blaze series. These front lights come in 1/2 watt, 1 watt, and 2 watt versions. Not only do they make you more visible to drivers but they also offer a much more powerful beam that gives you greater visibility when riding in poorly lit areas. Sale through March 15th.

PART OF THE WEEK!

Hey folks! We have a new part of the week! All full coverage fenders here at Broadway Bicycle School will be 25% off for the week of March 1-7. For all you roadies out there that will include race blades as well. Fenders are a great way to keep you clean and relatively dry when riding in wet conditions. They also protect your bike from all manner of unmentionable crud that your tires pick up off the street. That means less rust, less corrosion and most importantly fewer repairs overall! Awesome! Whether you're replacing an old worn out pair or trying fenders for the first time come on down and grab a pair while supplies last.
