B SIG orientation is ON for this morning.

will offer that option for those who do. (We will have leaders ride the Prospect Park loop in the morning to make sure it is safe to do so. If they

Recommendations for a Bike Fitting?

Submitted by tcadoo on Fri, 03/10/2017 - 4:37pm

Any recommendations? I did not purchase the bike from a local shop else I would do that. It seems most shops offer this service to some degree, and there are also specalists like acmebicycleco.com
