It's bike season! Join the Hawaii Bicycling League next week as they host Zachary Manago's Criterium: a series of fun, free and affordable bike crits for all riding levels. The action starts at 7 a.m. on Sunday, July 12, 2015. For a tune-up beforehand, check out Eki Cyclery on 1603 Dillingham Boulevard. Faithfully serving Honolulu since 1911, they offer professional bike repair and a flat rate tune-up service on the following bicycles (replacement parts not included):
- Single-Speed Bikes: Most comfort bikes and cruisers have one speed. These are good for general exercise and leisurely transportation, and are welcome at the free Keiki/Cruisers crit starting at 9:15 a.m. on Sunday, July 12.
- 5- to 8-Speed Bikes: Mountain bikes and hybrids generally have a few speeds to choose from. If you're roughing it along the mountain trails of Hawaii, one of these will get you through all the bumps and craters.
- >10-Speed Bikes: Racing and street bikes have a lot of gears—because they have a need for speed! The more aligned your bike is, the faster you can go. Consider getting your bike serviced before or after participating in a race.
- BMX Bikes: These are small, but powerful! They're ideal for freestyling and tricks.
Tune-ups for all bicycles include wheel alignment, chain lubrication, brake and gear adjustment, and tightening of all fasteners. For more information, contact Eki Cyclery online or by phone at (808) 847-2005. For custom bikes, accessories and more, come on down to the best bike shop in Hawaii! Mahalo!
