“We sell more than bikes,

we sell a good time”



Bicycle technology can be overwhelming, but the activity of bicycling is just plain wonderful. Just watch any three or four year old as they take off without training wheels for the first time. At Glacier Cyclery, we want you to have that kind of experience whether you are a four year old beginner or a sixty-four year old beginner….and we can help!

 

About Us - Why Shop At Glacier Cyclery?

Some bike stores are plain old intimidating when you first walk in the door and look at a sea of hardware, handlebars, cables, and reflectors. We minimize the mechanical emphasis in our store by displaying and merchandising products that help you enjoy the activity of bicycling. We try to display reasonably priced bikes by the front door to minimize sticker shock for you, but sometimes we can’t help ourselves, and occasionally you’ll see a model that tells you some people really take their equipment seriously!



Some bike store staff are intimidating too! But year after year the Glacier Cyclery staff has been some of the politest, most professional, helpful, friendly people you’ll ever meet. While we don’t want to run you out the door if you truly are “just looking”, we’d love to introduce you to our store and answer any questions you might have. By the way, there is no such thing as a “stupid” question.



Bicycles and the components that are on bikes have greatly improved in the last 10, 15, even 20 years! We don’t want to over emphasize bicycle technology, but introduce you to these innovations that have actually made cycling easier and
more enjoyable. Bikes are much lighter and easier to pedal now because of the materials that frames are made from; intuitive shifting systems click quietly into gear and have indicators that tell you which gear you are in; sophisticated suspension designs in the frame smooth out the bike’s ride whether you are on a bike path or dirt tack; improved braking systems will stop you smoothly and surely with just a light touch to the levers. And last but not least, you’ll see a plethora of bike seats, anatomically designed, some gender specific, with all kinds of wonderful cushioning, guaranteed to provide cush to your tush.



We’re good listeners! The Glacier Cyclery staff will listen to what type of bicycle riding you are thinking about and ask you questions that will help them steer you to the right bicycle and accessories. We were all beginners once ourselves―some of us longer ago than we’d like to admit―but this works in your favor, too!  Individually and collectively, we have decades of experience and can assure that you get the right size bike and one that is comfortable. We might make recommendations that you would never have thought to ask about.



Thanks a lot for choosing Glacier Cyclery. There is nothing we enjoy more than introducing “beginners” to the good times, adventure and fitness that can be had on a bicycle! Whether it’s been awhile since you rode a bike, or if you’re getting into biking from a different sport, we know that your experience at Glacier Cyclery is going to be the beginning point of a life time love affair with the wonderful activity of cycling!
