Bixby Bicycles, Bigger and Better

BIXBY BICYCLES & ACCESSORIES FAMILY

We are growing!  Bixby Bicycles and Accessories, also known as Bixby Bicycle Works is expanding as we celebrate a one year anniversary. Thanks to Bixby Oklahoma and the surrounding communities we have realized our vision and seen our mission come true. Throughout the year we have created new cyclist, and coached and supported existing and mature cyclist and racers with cutting edge products from road bikes to mountain bikes, from family bikes to cruisers in an honest, fair, friendly and courteous buying and training environment. Like any other retailer we have had out slow days, however over all our sales of comfortable appropriate bicycles and accessories, thanks to the cycling community, have been great. 

Educating the cycling community and fostering a healthy fun method of exercise and sustainable fitness was a personal goal. As a USA Cycling Certified Coach I have had the opportunity to work with individuals and groups at all levels of cycling ensuring their ongoing development and safe participation in the sport of cycling.  As a teacher, motivator and adviser I’ve seen first time cyclist become competitive racers and seasoned racers achieve sustainable goals. I’ve had the pleasure of scheduling group rides, organizing competitions and events, and planning and organizing tours. Working with cyclist on physical abilities, time constraints, performance, and strategy and seeing the winning results has been one of my most fulfilling achievements.

As the seasons change and race season approaches we have a lot planned. On the retail end our footprint will be expanding and more space means more, new and innovative products. As a professional cyclist I know cycling in America revolves around the bike shop. Bixby Bicycles and Accessories will continue to stand behind our products, provide experienced mechanics, have riding experts as sales associates, and concentrate on selection, safety, comfort and fit. We will continue to offer the latest cycling information, technically advanced products, and bike paths and maps as part of the first-rate customer service you’ve come to expect.
   
On April 10th and 11th, 2015, our staff, riders, supporters and friends will come together for our one year celebration bash. Our Tuesday and Thursday Indoor Group Rides will continue through the month of March, then it’s outside until late fall. Saturday Group Rides are ongoing and we will again be sponsoring the Bixby Bicycle State Road Race. The Hotter-N-Hell Tour is scheduled for August and the Bixby Bicycle Challenge scheduled to end March 29th has been a success.

National Bike Month is May 2015, National Bike to Work Week is May 11-15, and Bike to Work Day is May 15, 2015. If you’re not on a bicycle take the challenge. You’re never too young or to old and it’s never too late to join the fun. Start now and you’ll be ready to celebrate National Bike Month with the Bixby Bicycle and Accessories family of riders.
