🚲 Rider Pick of the Week

This week’s rider pick: the Trek Fluid saddle.

A small upgrade that makes a noticeable difference in how your ride feels.

Why riders like it:
• Pressure-relieving design
• Supportive without feeling bulky
• Comfortable for both quick rides and longer miles
• Blendr mount compatible — keeps your rear light setup clean and secure

If you’re looking to make your ride a little more comfortable without overcomplicating anything, this is a great place to start.

Stop by and we’ll help you find the right fit.

If you’ve been thinking about getting a bike, you’ve probably come across these two:

The Verve and the FX.

Both are great options — it just depends on how you want to ride.

Verve
• Upright, relaxed position
• Built for comfort
• Perfect for casual rides and easy miles

FX
• Lightweight and efficient
• Slightly more forward riding position
• Great for longer rides or picking up speed

There’s no wrong choice — just the right fit for your riding style.

Stop by the shop and try both. It’s the easiest way to decide.
