SAFE SUMMER CYCLING:

Hot summer cycling tips to help you stay safe bicycling in the summer heat. You need to be prepared to keep your self safe. Summertime offers many cycling dangers including the potential to suffer a heat stoke if not prepared.

  • Drink plenty of water: when cycling you will lose a lot of moisture through your skin. It is important to keep your body hydrated by drinking lots of water, which can be stored in a bottle that clips neatly to your bicycle frame.

  • Keep the sun off your head: wearing a bike helmet is essential for safety, but in the summer sun it also helps provide shade.

  • Take breaks: If you feel you are getting too hot while cycling then stop. Make sure you pull over to the side of the road safely, away from traffic.

  • Be seen: although it does not get dark until late in the summer, do not get caught out without your lights.

Why Should You Shop at Al Petri & Sons?

     When you visit Al Petri & Sons, you get the full attention of our well-informed staff as we share our extensive knowledge of the bicycle industry with you. You see, all bikes are not created equal. Bicycles and their many parts can be welded, forged and machined to varying degrees of strength, lightness, and durability. Bike shop quality brands may cost more than department store or toy store bikes, but that’s because they are built to superior standards.

     These higher standards are necessary because bike shop brands have fantastic warranties, and we have found that customers who have reliable bikes become our loyal clientele. Our brands represent some of the best manufacturers in the business and are backed by these companies and by Al Petri & Sons - but you have to buy from us to get that advantage.
