We will walk you through the appropriate setup no matter what skill level you're at - from beginner to expert we have the knowledge and equipment to help you excel!

-
The Right Bike Fit: Having the right bike fit will get you rolling down the road at top efficiency while saving energy. At Erik's Bike and Board, we have an expertly trained staff ready to fit you for your bike. We can't stress enough how important having a bike fit is in terms of your riding success.
-
Cycling Apparel: Wearing the right cycling apparel is a crucial element to enjoying your ride and staying sharp on the road. Padded cycling shorts will help prevent saddle soreness, while a nice-fitting weather appropriate jersey will keep your body running at the right core temperature. Often times beginners forget gloves, which are critical for reducing blisters and saving the digits if an unexpected fall was to occur.
-
A Helmet: You aren't you without a good head on your shoulders. Riding with a helmet is smart practice and sets a great example for younger riders.
-
Flat Changing Skills and Gear: It might not happen right away, but eventually you will have a tire go down. Having the right knowledge to change a flat during your ride adds peace of mind. Having the right tools and gear on hand allows you to venture farther off the beaten path! To gain the knowledge on how to change a flat, check out one of Erik's Bike and Board Park Tool Classes.
