Our doors will be open 10 am – 5pm on the 19th, 20th and 21st of May and the 26th, 27th and 28th for the Victoria Day (Cdn) and Memorial Day (U.S.) long weekends.
We will be open daily for the summer starting Saturday June 2nd.

The big news about this summer is the emergence of the ’29′ers’ bikes for the general public. These larger-wheel rides are going to be all the rage this summer and we will be one of the first bike shops to have a fleet of Norco Chargers 9.1 29′ers!

Also new in our fleet this year is the the Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Comp.
Some are calling this a candidate for bike of the year.

Also, our Specialized Enduros, casual bikes, kids bikes are great rides. The extensive network of mountain bike trails in Whistler, especially Lost Lake have earned a strong reputation (#5 now on Trip Advisor).

Add to that the Connection Cafe with great coffees and treats, and you can see that summer is on its way.
