What's Hot

We all know it's hot out side!As a long time reader of the Orlando Business Journal I never saw the word Cycling in the OBJ.Well it made it in the Green section,with a title like Hot I had to let people know.Cycling is becoming a part of every day life for more and more people in Orlando.Bicycle are enjoying a resurgence of popularity as a form of personal transportation.Less traffic congestion,no air pollution,reduces obesity and increases physical fitness.I have always thought cycling was great,so I'm pleased to see cycling in the OBJ.It just makes sense for people to get out of their car and ride a bike.

SIDI shoes in stock!

Did you know we carry SIDI shoes, the same shoe worn by the 2010 Tour de France winner Alberto Contador? SIDI's are the "creme de la creme" when it comes to cycling shoes. Made for all types of riders - road, tri, mountain and indoor - SIDI is proud to be the last brand of cycling shoes still designed and made entirely on the European continent in Maser, Italy.

The grueling physical environment of competitive cycling and rapid evolution of bicycle technology mean SIDI's technical staff are constantly focused on research and development using groundbreaking materials. The SIDI design team works closely with many of the greatest teams and champions across the entire range of cycling disciplines, incorporating their feedback into the most advanced designs in cycling, if not the entire technical sports footwear business.

Then and now:

Jess and Dano's SIDI mountain bike shoes, after five years of wear, tear, races, rain, mud - you name it, these SIDI's have seen it! And they still look AND feel great!

Brand new SIDI's, available at both Retro and Greenway! Stop by and try on your new shoes today!
