Summer and cycling are synonymous in Edmonton. While many people ride bikes regardless of the season, there’s nothing better than cycling through tree-lined streets while the sun shines. Our city has a fair share of bike shops that ensure your ride is up-to-date. [Image credit: iStock.com/sturti]
This shop was founded in 1974, and continues to be an excellent source of sporting equipment. The large store in west Edmonton has an impressive selection of items related to cycling, whether for a mountain bike or a hybrid.
Bikes line the walls and are also stacked in the spaces in between at Revolution Cycle. The shop also carries all the gear you’d need to cycle in the city, from cycling computers to lights.
Located on Whyte Avenue, Hardcore Bikes focuses on mountain, road, cyclocross and commuter bikes, along with all the accessories needed to be ready for the road. Along with their physical location, they offer many options through their webstore.
Cranky’s began in 1998 when the husband-and-wife team first started doing repairs out of their home. The St. Albert shop has undergone a significant amount of growth since then, having expanded their selection of bikes and accessories. Now, they carry everything from sports watches to beverage holders, along with a serious array of bikes.
They carry the Nutcase line of helmets which are both durable and stylish – one even resembles a watermelon. That unique style is reflective of the other brands and accessories that the shop carries. It’s a stylish shop focusing on Canadian brands and unique designs.
This shop prides themselves on providing an ever changing selection of bike accessories, catering to both the classics and the newest trends. Their Brooks England bike seat line is one of the classics, with a comfortable product dating back to the early 1800s.
