Hot cocoa hookup!

We are open today and our friends at Starbucks down the street hooked us up with a bunch of hot cocoa. So if you want to get some shopping done while everyone else is couped up behind their desks at work, swing by and hang out with us! There's always something going on here (and we still have power so our heaters are working VERY well)! Feel free to bring your bike so we can watch you pull donuts in the parking lot.

FREE Pilates class tomorrow!!

Derek has decided to host our first pilates class of the season for FREE! We will start at 8pm and go until 9pm. Please bring your own mat since we will not have any to provide.

Please email Derek at trihard04@yahoo.com or call the shop at (636) 394-2453 to register.

Take advantage of this great offer and also be the first to pre-register for upcoming classes!

Coffee ride

Due to randomly perfect weather, our trainer session for tomorrow (Sunday, Nov. 26) morning is cancelled. We're making the best of this drastic climate change by taking our bikes OUTSIDE. Meet us at Kaldi's in Kirkwood at 8am for a group ride around town. It will be an easy ride at a moderate pace for about 2 hours. Bring money for coffee and muffins!

Ride on.

Group road ride @ 9am

WE'RE CLOSED ON THANKSGIVING, BUT YOU STILL NEED TO RIDE!


Join us Thursday morning @ 9am for a 2 hour, moderately paced road ride. You will be back home before noon to make your cranberries. The more you ride, the more you can eat!!

Monthly Maintenance Schedule Changed

We are glad to announce a time change in our monthly maintenance schedule.

Instead of being the first WEDNESDAY of the month at 6PM, we have changed our maintenance class to every first SATURDAY of the month at 9:30AM.

This class is free and open to all riders of all kinds - mountain, road, hybrid, recumbent, etc. The class usually runs for a little over an hour and includes flat tire repair, cleaning and lubing your bike, and a guideline of how to perform a quick safety check on your bike before you ride. We will have a short Q & A afterwards also.

Bring your friends and your front wheel if you can! If not, we have plenty of spare wheels for you to practice on.

The first class will be December 2nd; see you then!

Trek Demo Sweetness

Thanks to everyone who helped out with the demo! We had an absolute blast wrenching and meeting all of you. The turnout was huge - over 150 riders in a span of 2 cold, windy days!

We can't wait to host the demo again in the spring time. If you received a special Demo Day coupon, make sure you come in to get your favorite bike before it expires on Nov. 30th!

Trainers and Pilates - the perfect cold weather combo!

We are super excited to announce our cold weather specials this year. We will be leading in-shop trainer sessions and pilates every week.

Sunday mornings, starting Nov. 19th, from 10:30am-11:30am we will bring our no-drop road ride into the shop and form our no-drop trainer rides;) Bring your trainer, buy one from us, or rent one for $3.

Thursday evenings, starting Nov. 30th, from 8pm-9pm Derek will lead a pilates class. He has been teaching for awhile and will gear the classes towards cyclists and triathletes. He only asks that you bring your own mat with you.

Prices are $8/each class or $25/4. MultiSport Club members receive a discount. Please sign up at the shop and call before you come to make sure at least 5 people have signed up (we require a 5 person minimum attendance and a 25 person maximum attendance). CASH OR CHECK ONLY! Either call the shop or come in to register.

Now that the weather has gotten colder, these classes are perfect to keep your fitness up and your holiday belly-bulge down. Move away from the couch, stop looking at the turkey in the fridge, and get shakin'!

Super SUPER Light (SSL)

Weighing in at merely 14.8 lbs. is the newest member of the Trek St. Louis Family - the 2007 Trek Madone SSL 6.9. It's made of the new High Modulus OCLV carbon and comes with some sweet OCLV carbon wheels. This one found a home, but there are plenty more looking for a place to stay. (Make sure you wipe off the drool on your keyboard.)

It's Coming!!!

We've been searching the globe for a new brand of mountain bikes to compliment Fisher and Trek's already stacked line of off-road machines. Actually we didn't find a new brand at all. We found an original. Allow us to introduce Yeti Cycles as the newest member of the Trek Store family. Yeti has as deep a tradition in mountain biking as any company around and we welcome them with open arms. John Tomac, Juliana Furtado, Missy Giove, Myles Rockwell, Jimmy Deation and many others got their start racing for John Parkers Durango based company. Now located on the front range in Golden, Colorado, they make some of the best bikes in the world. Yeti's history section on their website might still be under construction, but click on the photo below to take a tour of the factory.Bikes will be in the store soon. We'll keep you posted.

Cross season is here!

Remember to cheer on Greg when he races by you!

St. Louis Variety Club Bikes For Kids '06!

Greg and I made a visit to Rams' Park last weekend to help out the St. Louis Variety Club. They donated over 250 children's bikes to various organizations and the kids were more than thrilled! Greg, myself, and TONS of volunteers spent countless hours building bikes and checking them once over for safety.

Look out for this event next year. If you work with an organization and would like to be involved either by volunteering your time, or receiving bikes for children, shoot me an email - Jessica@trekstl.com.

Cross Season Is Here!!

Breast Cancer Awareness Ride!!

I'm just reminding all of you who have not registered for the Breast Cancer Awareness Ride this Saturday, to get online and do so! The weather should be perfect!

We have a bunch of raffle prizes and giveaways to all participants, plus some coffee and bagels to recover with afterwards. Be prepared to see discounts on the store also.

This is a great chance to get out and ride, meet new people, and help others while having fun. It's only $25 to register and well worth it. Here is the link to the active.com website - http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1342935.

See you soon!

New Winter Clothing

Whether you are riding in the fall and/or the winter seasons, we have the layers you need. Our full Nike, Craft, and Pearl Izumi line will keep you safe from wind, rain, and cold climates. These are great for Missouri, up north, over east, mountains, or flat lands.

The women's Nike Soft-Shell Jacket is made with Clima-FIT fabric for optimal breathability, weather-resistant exterior, zip-off sleeves, bright blue color, and reflective lining.

The men's Pearl Izumi Gavia bib tight is made with AmFIB material for wind and water protection, especially over the shin area. It comes with Pearl's 3D Pro chamois and includes silver ions to prevent microbial build-up (similar to Trek's active wear shirts). All around, this bib is the best tight for all cold conditions.

These are just a couple of items to discuss. Come by and see our collection, and by all means, TRY THEM ON!

Bike Rodeo Extravaganza!

Thanks to the College School of Webster Groves for letting me stop by to discuss bicycle safety, mechanics, and enthusiasm! I had a great time and it was a pleasure meeting all of you. Keep commuting and stay safe!


In honor of our BIKE RODEO this Saturday (info to the right of your screen), here is a video reminding you to wear your helmet and to not drink and ride. I would suggest bringing your kids' bikes and helmets on Saturday to make sure when this happens, they stay unharmed:

TREK WSD Women's Night Out

Ladies, come join us the evening of Thursday, October 19th. There will be basic bicycle maintenance clinics, a bike fit seminar, exclusive in-store discounts, free stuff, and, of course, drinks and hor d'oeuvres.

TREK WSD Breast Cancer Awareness Ride

Join the TREK Store STL for a 10-mile no-drop ride, Saturday, October 14th at 10am. There's a $25 entry fee that's donated entirely to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. All you have to do is register at Active.com. Every participant receives a free gift! We hope to see you there.

Gary Fisher has some stellar additions to the full suspension family this year. In stock as of yet, we have a Caliber, HiFi Plus, and HiFi Deluxe. Whether it's cross country riding or all mountain riding, these bikes will force you to have fun and perform well. Come by and learn about the new HiFi line.

Super sweet!!

Congrats to Marianne for snagging a super sweet bike! She just picked up her new Bonnie cruiser that comes with fenders, and we installed 2 gigantic baskets in the back for her to commute with, as well as front and rear lights. She is also going to ride her bike with her daughter while taking her to and from school! Thanks Marianne, have some great rides!

Commuting contest - only the strong surive!

Alright. I have a challenge for you. Most of our employees commute to work daily and everyone thinks we're super strong machines especially wired unlike any human being...WRONG! We are every day riders like the rest of you, with aches and pains, good days and bad days, riding in heat and wind.

We're starting a commuting contest here at the shop for employees and customers. It starts September 11th and ends October 16th. All you need to do is ride to either work or school each day you are required to go, count how many times you ride your bike to your destination, and let us know each Monday so we can write it on the big board at the front of the store. We are not counting by mileage, and rather are counting by days travelled in percentage form. That way, someone who rides only 10 miles a day - 4 to 5 days out of the week is not penalized by someone else who rides 30 miles a day - 6 days a week. Capisci?

You don't have fenders? You need slick tires? No flat repair kit? Ah...I understand...good thing we carry everything you need to commute! Come by and we'll help you get on your way!

Prizes? Heck ya! The top 5 commuters win some super awesome prizes that we are not going to tell you about until we get closer to the end. Some sweet plans are in the works.

Call the shop at (636) 394-2453 or email me (Jessica) and we'll get you on the board!

The 1st Annual Parkway Central Age Group Triathlon was a huge success! Props to Kevin Mabie for putting it all together. Kids from ages 6-18 participated and had a blast amidst the rainy weather.

Trek World Update - Celebrity Status

The first crew met some rockin' celebrities at Trek World - Bob Roll, Zap, Chrissy and Chris from the Women's Demo Crew, Dave Mirra, and Gary Fisher. I had the brilliant opportunity to mountain bike ride with Gary (on a Genesister full suspension of course). Thanks Gary!

You may be wondering why Dave Mirra was at a Trek convention...well, Trek has thrown Mirra Co. in the lineup. His new BMX line is definitely going to shock you. He even has kid sizes with aluminum frames so it's easier for the little guys to pop those tricks.
