Make 2023 your year.

For cyclists everywhere, this is the best year to buy a bike. Compared to previous years, 2023 brings a wealth of opportunity for consumers who are enjoying the best selection from every brand, competitive pricing across the industry, and the most advanced technology available.

It’s been three years since the pandemic hit and the global supply chain came to a grinding halt.

Add an optimistically warm spring and indoor capacity restrictions and you get booming bike shops across Canada.

Shoppers are now spoiled with choice, which is a relief a er long wait times and limited selection plagued the industry. Now, the power is in the buyers’ hands to choose any make or model. There are bikes for everyone.

Engineers from big name brands have been waiting to showcase their latest advancements in bike technology. They have spent the last few years waiting for materials and bringing new ideas to life once
