Here at Hoffy Cycles, we absolutely love everything about cycling. We love riding competitively, we love riding to work and we also love just relaxing and riding with our families. The rewards of owning a bicycle is endless, as not only does it get you outside and enjoying the best that Brisbane has to offer, it also gives you invaluable exercise that will keep you fit and healthy. One of the things that we always stress is that in order to have fun, you must ride safely and responsible. In today’s blog post, we will take a close look at the importance of bicycle safety and wearing your helmet when you are out for a ride.
If there is one single aspect of cycling that we can stress here at Hoffy Cycles, it is safety. There is nothing more important to us than ensuring you and your bike, are completely prepared before you head out for a ride. There are so many safety elements to cover that we are going to spread this article out over the following few months. In this month’s blog post, we will put the spotlight on something that seems pretty obvious – The bicycle itself.
Here at Hoffy Cycles, we eat, sleep and breathe cycling. So guess what? – We’re going to have to talk about it. We’re going to have to talk about the biggest controversy in the cycling world at the moment, something that is being discussed from the quiet shores of Sandgate to the controlled frenzy that is California. Of course, we are talking about the Lance Armstrong doping allegations.
Here at Hoffy Cycles, we pride ourselves on knowing the ins and outs of every single element of a bicycle. It is this in depth knowledge that has allowed us to successfully run our award winning business in Brisbane since 1928. In the first of our new series of articles, today we will attempt to pass on some of our knowledge to our readers by helping to make sense of one of the most common issues seen in bicycles – flat tyres.
I think it’s safe to say that the whole team here at Hoffy Cycles is sitting on the edge of our seats watching the riders advance in the 2012 Tour de France! All of our bike shop staff are extremely passionate about cycling in all of its forms, beginning at the grass roots where a child learns to ride for the first time and finishing all the way up at the grandest stage of them all – the one and only Tour de France.
