Time to turn on the lights

Most of us are in the groove now, getting out of work and slam-dunking a ride up on the pass or finding some close singletrack to get your fix. The great thing is that August and September can be some of the best riding months in the area. However, as you've probably noticed the days are starting to get shorter and shorter, but fear not. Night riding is just as fun as riding during the day, and can bring an entirely new experience to your ride. Find yourself a burly headlamp and a bright light for your bike and you’re good to go.

School is just around the corner too. Remember, those new clothes you’re looking at aren’t half as cool as new bike gear. Fitzgerald’s has everything you need, from kid's bikes of every size - to helmets, lights, locks and even racks to put books on. Biking to school cuts down on nasty car emissions, reduces childhood obesity and promotes independence. Besides, what's more cool than school?  Biking to School!

And don't forget, Fitzgerald’s Bicycles has two more bike-ins this month. Check out Ghostbusters and the original Karate Kid on Tuesday nights at Snow King. All of the proceeds from these events go to Friends of Pathways, KHOL, the Teton Artlab and Treefight! No need to bring any food or drinks because our good friends at Pica's Taqueria, Snake River Brewing and Pabst Blue ribbon have you covered. See you on Tuesday!
