We are strong. We are powerful. We are brave.

The Female Cyclist: A rare species, hardly seen in nature. They are a reserved and timid breed, only exploring their natural habitat when there is little fear….

ERRRRRRRR (queue record scratch) WHAT!?!?! 

No no no, let’s get this straight. Women are STRONG, POWERFUL, and BRAVE. We are constantly jumping over barriers set before us and constantly destroying the classifications and titles set upon us. We need each other more than ever, especially as we strive toward equality in every space.

I'm Tuesday Vander Weide, the manager of Spoke-n-Sport on Cliff Avenue near Tuthill Park. I'm a cyclist, a bike racer, a woman, and a lover of all things two-wheeled.

Otso! We've got Otso. You're going to love Otso.

Introducing... drumroll please... Otso Cycles!

It's the latest brand we've added to the Spoke-n-Sport lineup.

Otso is a Minnesota-based company with a heart for gravel and fat tires that drives the spirit of cycling forward like nothing else.

Why start a bike company?

Good question that Otso was kind enough to answer.

Hottest New Skis for Next Season from Peter

That's Peter

Peter Oien manages our Minnesota Avenue store, which is the epicenter of our winter sports offerings.

Ski season may be over, but the gear is already ramping up for next season. We asked Peter to tell us about some of cool stuff that's coming for next season.

One of the perks of the job is getting to try out new skis and other products before they hit the market.

Here's Peter's insight:

Whoa! Stay tuned. Peter has some cool stuff to show you.

 


The ski season may be over for this year but we're already planning for the next one. 
Minnesota Avenue store manager and gear aficionado Peter is deep into what's coming out next year that will be in demand. 
We'll have more for you in a couple days so be sure to check in on the blog for updates going forward. If you're interested, you'll want to be ready to jump. It's gear that won't last long once it's released. 
More coming soon. 
Meanwhile, if you're a deal hunter, now is the time to get ready. We're packing up the winter inventory but we'd rather sell it than store it.
See ya soon.

It's a Harley! Serial 1 is a new level of e-bike experience.

We're carrying a new brand of e-bike at Spoke-n-Sport.

That's probably not surprising. Until you hear that it's a Harley. 

Well, not exactly. 

Serial 1 was developed in Milwaukee in conjunction with Harley-Davidson. In fact, the brand name pays homage to "Serial Number One," the nickname for the oldest known Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
