Protect That Noggin Thursday - SPECIALIZED HELMETS


Maybe the person on your Christmas Shopping List doesn't need a new bike and you are wondering just what could you get them then?  Well, believe it or not, helmets do "wear out" and need to be replaced periodically and most definitely anytime you are involved in a Head Strike Crash.  I don't know about you, but I really don't want to find out if my helmet is not working properly too late in the game and replace mine every 3-4 years or so but the rule of thumb is 5 years maximum.

At Tom's we carry Specialized and Bell helmets and have a great variety of sizes and colors for you to chose from.  Above is the Specialized Echelon:

With a sleek and fast look, the Echelon presents a compact profile on a rider's head. Increased ventilation and ergonomic design—with great fit, comfort and ventilation—make it the ideal helmet for road cycling enthusiasts.
  • Tri-Fix web splitter for improved comfort and ease of strap adjustments
  • Easy-adjust, Headset SL fit system with four height positions and micro-adjustable dial
  • 4th Dimension Cooling System optimizes ventilation
  • Composite matrix internal reinforcement allows larger vents for greater cooling
  • Reflective decals for added nighttime visibility
  • Complies with one or more of the following safety standards for bicycle helmets: CPSC, SNELL B90A, CE and AS/NZS
Stop by the shop today from 10-8 to check out our Helmet Inventory and start putting your Christmas List together.


Do you have a bike lover on your Christmas List?  Check out Tom's Holiday Specials.  If you are unsure of what to but pick up a Gift Card and let them chose from our inventory or get an idea from the Great Gift Idea section based on your budget.

We have some excess 2014 and older inventory that we are trying to clear out to make way for the 2015 models that are becoming available each day.  For 2014 you receive 10% off the MSRP and also a 10% Gift Card to use in the store.  We have financing available if you quality and we also have free lay-a-way: 20% down is all that is required to secure your new ride for the 2015 season and beyond.

Our 2013 and older inventory is marked down even lower as well.  It may not be as low as it was during our Reverse Auction Sale but you can still save a lot if we have your size and model choice available.

If you have been following the blog you have seen this photo of Tom in Arizona wearing his ASSOS kit.  We recently became an Authorized Retailer for ASSOS and their outstanding line of clothing.  Today they announced a special Facebook promotion where you could win signed Swiss National Cycling Team jerseys.  First hurdle is owning some ASSOS gear so stop into the shop today and take a look at our inventory.  While you are there ask Tom about how comfortable and durable their clothing is.  Nothing like an honest review right from the wearer of the clothing!


Indoor Race Series information is out. Click on the link to register and purchase your race credits because it is going on right now!  Sure the weather was ideal for outdoor riding recently but you saw what happened last weekend.  Don't miss out on some great winter training opportunities!
