Things are busy at R+E Cycles. 2019 has arrived with the frame shop busier than any January in recent memory. New bike sales are through the roof and we are scrambling to do all the projects we would normally have time for during the winter. This is a good problem to have, and we are thrilled to welcome so many new riders into the R+E family. We have a lot on our plate this year. Here are a few things to keep an eye out for:

• E-Bike Evolution: E-Bikes are big these days and we only want the best for our riders that choose to go electric. There’s a lot of choices out there and our aim is to strike the best balance between performance, cost, and service. This is in addition to building a custom bicycle that’s perfect for the rider. We want you to have a bike that fits perfectly, rides well, and has parts we can service and warranty without issue. That last one has been tricky due to a constant change in the industry, but we’ve made headway towards finding options that work. If you’re interested in an E-bike, why not make it a Rodriguez E-Bike? Stop by and chat with us. We’d love to hear what your needs are.
• Tandems Everywhere: We’re selling more tandems than ever! We’re pretty sure it’s because we build the best tandems on the market, and it looks like a lot of people out there agree. Look out for some upcoming articles about our tandem building philosophy and process, and be sure to check out our 2019 Rodriguez tandem models.

  Bike and Pike Open House:

  Our 11th annual party is just around the corner on February 23rd. This is usually our season kick off, but the season seems here already. That’s okay, we can still have a party with some our favorite local bike-related businesses and raise a boatload of money for Food Lifeline.

• Our Semi-Secret Project: We’ve been working on our own little development project here at R+E. This project should be of particular interest to tandem riders and anyone with difficulty shifting normal shifter configurations. We will make a formal announcement once all the pieces fall into place.
• New Faces: We’re taking on a couple of new employees to help out with all of this stuff. Hopefully you’ll be able to come by and meet them at Bike and Pike!

This is just the start of what should be a busy year for R+E Cycles and Rodriguez Bikes. We’re riding high into our 46th year and we hope you can be part of the ride.
