Learn About The 2016 Trek Farleys!

For next year, the Farley is all-new!

In addition to new lightweight carbon models, a new rigid carbon fork, and more tire clearance to accommodate 5” wide tires or the new 27.5 x 4” wheel system, the all-new Farley is more versatile than ever before!

The wheelbase can be easily adjusted with Trek’s exclusive Stranglehold dropout for capable 26˝ x 5˝ tires or the fast 27.5˝ x 4˝ system. 

Along with all-new technical features, there are also more models in the lineup for next year: 3 alloy models, 2 carbon models, and one carbon frameset. 

The capable, versatile, all-new Farley is the benchmark that all fat bikes will be judged against.

We are accepting pre-orders on the 2016 line! From April 9th-May 9th you can receive 10% off of your 2016 Trek Farley pre-order!

April Updates

Our Annual Spring Sale ended on Saturday, April 4th- during the course of our sale at least 67+ bikes found new homes! That is absolutely fantastic! We want to thank each and every one of our customers and friends for stopping in and supporting a local, small business. Having more people on bikes is always a positive thing, and we look forward to seeing more excited faces as they get to experience life on two wheels!

We are still around a month out on repairs right now. This is due to our Spring Sale and the fact we were constantly building bikes for those purchasing them and/or bikes for the floor. We are finally able to start working on repairs again and appreciate your patience.

We have been encouraging new bike owners to bring repairs in during our slower months, September-February. This is an excellent time to have service work done as many aren't riding their bikes all-year-round.

Your tuneup will not "go bad"; all you'll need to do when fair weather hits is pump up your tires and roll!

We'll do our best to bust out repairs as quickly as possible, and if you are patiently waiting, rest assured you will receive an email or phone call when your bike is in working order.

We have a helmet promotion happening (valid April 6th-April 20th)- bring in your old helmet and we'll take $5.00 off of a new helmet!
If it's been over 5 years since you've purchased a helmet or if you can't even remember when you acquired your current one, it's time for an upgrade!

The cost of a $40.00 helmet over 5 years winds up being just 2 cents a day! It's the least expensive life insurance you can purchase for yourself.








In other news, The 25th Annual Decorah Time Trials are coming up rather quickly and we want to remind everyone if they want to preregister, to pick up their entry forms here at the shop. They need to be postmarked or dropped off at Park and Rec by April 17th!

Please mark your calendars and spread the word, our shop will be closed on April 25th to attend the time trials.

We will be doing some fun things in May for Bike Month and Bike to Work Week!
May we will also be doing a fundraiser all month long to raise some funds for DHPT (Decorah Human Powered Trails)- we have some awesome prizes that will be offered, one being a $500.00 gift certificate to our store!

Starting May 17th Josie will lead an off-road women's ride. This is for those new to riding off-road and would like a guided ride. People are welcome to sign up individually or in pairs. Small groups of up to 4 people are welcome as well.

You can start preregistering yourself for Sunday rides now! For more information, follow this link and email Josie: josie@decorahbicycles.com

Last but not least we are extremely excited to announce that we are official Salsa dealers again!
This means we'll be able to bring you even more wonderful bike options to the table along with even more fatbikes as well!

We will have a Beargrease Carbon 1 fatbike available as a demo! Come down and see how a carbon fatbike rolls!

With Salsa we will have complete bikes available for purchase along with the ability to purchase framesets and custom build a bike that meets your needs. We are looking for feedback from our customers on what Salsa bikes and products they would like to see in our store. If you have thoughts, simply email us!

Fatbikes on the brain? We have a couple Trek Farley 6 (17.5 and 21 in.) and 8 (17.5 and 19.5 in.) bikes available!

 

Women, Mark Your Calendars!

Starting Sunday, May 17th Josie will lead introductory off-road rides for women!

Registration for the Sunday ride must be done by the Friday before. Thank you!

You will be contacted on dates available.

Rides will happen based on trail conditions. If at any time trails are not suitable for riding due to weather, Josie will contact you to reschedule. We believe in being kind to our local trails.
Thank you for understanding!

We have a freshly updated Google+ page if you use Google+ we encourage you to follow us! If you have had a positive experience at our store, we also would love to have you leave a review on your experience- be it purchasing a new bike or maybe renting a fatbike.

We also have a new Twitter page! If you love Twitter, we'd love to have you follow us!

Decorah Bicycles now has a monthly email newsletter! If you would like to sign up for our email newsletter you can follow this link. This is a great way to stay up-to-date on new product, upcoming specials, and local events (such as the 25th annual Time Trials!)

We attended the KDEC Home, Sport, and Garden show this weekend and it was fantastic! This year we did something extra special and gave out $10.00 coupons for those who were willing to ride bikes with us. Yes! 10 dollars to ride bikes with us, you can't get better than that!We're so thankful for all of those who came to visit our booth as well as for the great friends/Decorah Bicycles staff who helped us with the set-up/tear-down.

Stationary Trainers, Bar Mitts, and Fatbikes were hot topics of conversation!

The Pugsley Fatbike World Championships are scheduled for Saturday, March 7th. Our store manager, Josie will be attending! Woohoo! Josie will be sure to write a blog post about her experience.
You can find more information on the event by clicking this link.

Registration for the 25th annual Decorah Time Trials is open! You have until April 17th to pre-register!

Please note that Decorah Bicycles will be closed on Saturday, April 25th for the event!

If you would like to beat the spring rush (it's arriving quickly), now is a great time to bring repairs in! We have excellent turnover time at the moment, but that will quickly change as soon as the weather warms up.

A popular question has been if we take bikes by appointment- at this time we do not. Just bring the bike in and we will call you when it's ready to go! (Please don't swing by on Tuesdays as we're closed!)

Our Spring Sale will be happening soon- March 21-April 4th.

Please be aware if you bring bikes in to be service that week as during the sale we will have little time to focus on repairs. Also note-we will be closed for Easter on April 5th.

Fearless Women of Dirt!

Decorah Bicycles and Life on Two Wheels are proud to bring you:

 Fearless Women of Dirt (The FWD Movement)

 

Travis and Josie feel there is a need to bring about healthy encouragement for area women and that brings in FWD. The goal of the FWD movement is to bring more women into the mountain biking community by providing a safe, fun, and supportive environment. With FWD you have the option of going on group rides with fellow women riders or have access to one-on-one rides with Josie that will allow you the opportunity for rides detailed around your personal goals and desires.

 

Decorah Bicycles will also hold periodic Women’s Nights which will allow you the opportunity to come in and learn a bit more about your local shop and what we do. You will also learn some basics with bike maintenance and be able to ask us questions about various products that you may be curious about.

The FWD Movement is open to all women in the community and surrounding areas who enjoy riding bikes!

If you are interested in joining FWD email Josie at: josie@decorahbicycles.com
