Mike's Bikes, the Bay Area's premier bike retailer, wants to help you find the answer to this summertime question: what's your bike personality? This week's bike personality: The Family-Pack Pedaler.
When you head out for a bike ride, the whole family goes along. And that's just the way you like it. Whether it's a bike loop around Angel Island, or coasting the oceanside paths of Half Moon Bay, your favorite crew is never far behind; in fact, they're often a little ahead. But you're still the leader of the pack. Hanging with the family in the outdoors is how you roll. That's teamwork!
Sound like you? You're "The Family-Pack Pedaler." And the Mike's Bikes ride for you: the Globe Carmel 1 by Specialized. With its riser handlebars and flat-resistant tires, you can lead the family in true cruising style, with no worries about bumps along the way. Ups and downs on the road? No problem. The 21-speed drive-train will let you lead the pack (for real) and hoot and holler words of encouragement if the kids get cranky on the uphill. Saddle up everyone: it's time to ride.
TIP: Have a real little one who isn't pedaling just yet? Attach the Adams Trail-a-Bike to your rig and tote him or her along.
