The Kind Cyclist is a full-service bike shop the rents and sells bikes. We offes a complete selection of high-end road and mountain bikes as well as apparel, parts, service and tuning. Whether you are looking for a bike to cruise the paths, one for the trails or a road bike, we offer a wide range of bikes from several manufacturers that will meet your needs. The process of finding the bike that is the right match for you is just as important as how it
fits you. We invite you to visit us at one of our stores and we'll spend the time with you to understand where you want to ride, your skill level and budget in order to find the ideal bike for you.
Below are typical bike categories and brands that we carry within those categories.
Cruisers:Fun, easy to ride path/neighborhood bikes that are usually single or 3 speed bikes, with up to 8 speeds in some instances. We carry
Electra and
Raleigh cruisers.
Comfort/Hybrid Bikes:Similar to cruisers on the comfort end, but usually with more gears for added ability in getting around town. Similar in gearing and riding position to a mountain bike, hybrids are ideal for the casual rider who wants a comfortable bike that is easy to ride and easy on the budget. Virtually every brand we carry makes a bike in these categories including,
Specialized,
Scott,
Raleigh and
Rocky Mountain.
Mountain Bikes:Over time the mountain bike has evolved from a completely rigid "clunker" that had some knobby tires thrown on it in order to ride down trails into a sophisticated machine with varying options in suspension technology. Whether you are looking for a front suspension or a full suspension, a 26" wheeled bike or a 29er--
Specialized,
Raleigh,
Rocky Mountain,
Scott and
Seven offer something for you.
Road Bikes:Road bikes have evolved almost as much as mountain bikes over the last few decades. Not only do you have multiple frame materials like aluminum, steel, titanium and carbon to choose from, but you
also have several options when it comes to components and frame geometry. Road bikes are no longer just for those in The Tour De France. You can get the highest end racing bikes from us, but we also sell and custom fit a significant number of road bikes with a more comfortable, upright geometry, as well as flat-bar road bikes!
If you're looking for a high end road bike, we've got something for you from
Specialized,
Seven and
Scott.
