Yep, the 2011 bike riding season is here! I only have a few miles in so far this year, but we’ve had\u00a0some decent riding days in the the Chicagoland area already and daylight savings time is starting next week!<\/p>\n
I also just discovered\u00a0\u00a0that most of the retailers, that sell bikes online (for home or store delivery), still have some 2010 bikes available (and in\u00a0some cases, at very good prices) and are also starting to get a good selection of 2011 bikes listed.<\/p>\n
So I’ve gone through all of the bike review pages\u00a0and links on this site and have updated them to the<\/strong> 2010 and 2011 bike models <\/strong>that are currently available online. Now this can be a little bit of a moving target since bikes models come and go and online supplies vary too, but you can still usually find more of a selection online (for the manufacturers that allow online sales).<\/p>\n So if you start with the Online Bike Sales page<\/a> on this site, you will have all of the models that are for sale online and have been reviewed on this site. This\u00a0now includes primarily 2010 and 2011 models (although in\u00a0some cases you\u00a0can get a real\u00a0deal on some 2009 bikes if\u00a0the model and size that you want is still available).<\/p>\n Note that this site focuses on bikes that are available for purchase online <\/em><\/strong>so you will not find\u00a0reviews\u00a0here\u00a0for brands like Trek, Giant, Haro, Specialized, etc. that are not for sale online. You will need to visit one of your local bike shops to buy one of these brands.<\/p>\n And finally, my next project is to update the Best Buy Bikes<\/a> page on this site to include the 2011 models. I’m sorry but I have not been able to update this page with the 2011 models yet but I am in the process of reviewing the bikes, the online sales and also the bike sale statistics from this site from 2010. I should have this completed real soon.<\/p>\n Enjoy the 2011 riding season!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yep, the 2011 bike riding season is here!
