Creating Memories
Learning to ride a bike was a rite of passage for those of us who grew up in Buffalo Niagara. Time flies and seasons change, but getting back on a bike is something that is guaranteed to bring back memories. I remember the first time I tore up my legs going down a huge hill. After the tears subsided, I felt like a war hero! Then there was the time that my siblings and I tried tying our little red wagon to the back of my bike, only to discover that physics can be a real buzzkill sometimes.
I recall a few local charity rides that my dad and I participated in together, like the Tour de Cure and the Ride for Roswell. Farther down the road, I remember the time when my boyfriend (now husband) and I met each other on our bikes for an impromptu date and geocaching adventure. No matter the season, there’s always been a noteworthy memory that included my trusty bicycle.
Even recently, my husband and I have been creating new memories with our kids as we explore exciting places like Lakeside Bike Park and many of the quieter bike paths in the region.
Bert’s Bikes & Fitness puts the big box retailer bicycle selections to shame
Pro Tip: Skip the Big-Box Retailers
I’ll be the first to admit that I rely on big box stores for most of my shopping. You’ll find me there with a cart full of groceries, office supplies, clothes, and sports equipment piled high like I’m playing Tetris (which quickly turns into a more dangerous game of Jenga at the checkout line). Basically, if I can get milk and printer ink in one place, I’m there!
But when the 2020 pandemic struck and my husband wanted a new bike to pass the time, a department store didn’t have what he needed. He wanted a real BMX bike, so we went to Bert’s Bikes & Fitness. Call it a midlife crisis if you will, but my husband was pretty stoked to rip up the town with those thick treads and bunny hops, and his newfound skills did not disappoint.
And let’s be real: department stores are not the best place to shop for a quality bike. You’re looking at bare-bones inventory and no pro help whatsoever. There’s no one there to point out flaws in a design or suggest upgrades that will best suit your season of life, such as a wider seat or a more user-friendly clamp. If you do manage to find a bike that you like, you can either risk killing yourself trying to lower it off of the rack (been there, would not recommend) or cue the Mission Impossible theme song and roam through the store in search of a grumpy stock clerk. It’s a lot of unnecessary hassle. Why not purchase locally, where owners can point you assuredly in the right direction and associates are actually excited to discuss bikes with you?
