Buy, Sell & Trade Used Bicycles & Bike Equipment

 


Join us on Sunday November 20 for what could be the largest organized cycling event in South Florida. We’re whipping together a team – well, more of a friendly group of cyclists as this isn’t really a race – to ride the Gran Fondo Miami together. The good news is that by registering with Bike Werx, you get to knock $20 off your registration fee.

Bike Werx at the Gran Fondo Miami

The Gran Fondo phenomenon is rolling into Miami in just a few days, and we’re pumped to be a part of the event’s weekend expo. Even if you’re not partaking in one of the three distance rides offered by the organizers, swing by our booth and see and test out many of the fine bikes featured in our inventory. We’ve got some fun things planned to keep our restless minds at ease and our ADD at bay, so come check us out. The Expo runs on Saturday, November 19 from 10:00am – 6:00pm and Sunday, November 20 from 9:00am – 6:00pm. The expo will be located just in front of the Miami City Hall in Coconut Grove (see the map).

Get Your Fall On

Kind of hard to believe, but Fall is officially here. Though that really only means a drop in, say, three degrees for the South Florida Bike Werx crew, the rest of the country is battening down the hatches in anticipation for winter. Now is the perfect time to check out all the new and downright amazing Castelli jackets along with the rest of their winter line. Fall means cyclocross in most of the country, and Bike Werx’s Tony Blazejack has been gettin’ rained on and muddy in the Pacific Northwest. He snapped this shot of Adam McGrath (Feedback Sports/Van Dessel) at the Starbucks GP in North Bend, Washington last weekend:

Minidrome Madness

Congrats to Fabian Garcia and Team Bike Werx for a strong showing at the 2011 Red Bull Mini Drome Orlando competition. Keeping true to Bike Werx’s roots of supporting all types of cycling, we sent a squad of some of Miami’s finest urban riders to cut loose on the awesome track put together by the fine people over at Red Bull. Garcia finished fourth overall and posted the 5th fastest time out of 85 riders. Way to go, Fabian. What’s a Mini Drome? Check out the Orlando highlight vid from Red Bull and see for yourself. There are a few quick shots of Team Bike Werx in there shredding, so look closely.  

Inside Look: Team Sky & the TTT

Team Sky recently posted a very detailed look into their Team Time Trial effort at the Vuelta. Pinarello TT bikes and Shimano Di2? Nice. And check out those new Kask aero helmets. Double Nice.

Things We Can Learn From Europe

The grand tours are over and the sweltering summer sun is defining many a comical tan line for us here at Bike Werx. We’ve been steadily expanding our inventory of both new cycling accessories and used bike gear items, and we’re currently toiling away at fine tuning the website. With lots of very early morning rides, many hours spent in front of computer screens and enough coffee to get us banned from the Olympics, we’re going to bring many exciting updates in the coming days and weeks to improve the Bike Werx experience. Stay in touch with the blog, as well as our Facebook and Twitter pages to keep up to date on what’s good and new. In the meantime,Read the full story

Tour de Twitter

With the second rest day of the tour upon us and 15 stages in the bag, we’re reminded that the Internet provides access to behind the scenes of the pro ranks like never before. Fans have more insight to the world’s most prolific bicycle race within reach than ever before, thanks to a few keystrokes and clicks of the mouse.

Tour de France: The Aero Bike Era

One of the many reasons to look forward to the biggest bike race on the planet is to see the latest and greatest gear in action. The Tour de France is the ultimate proving ground for the biggest road bicycle manufacturers, and taking home a jersey and/or podium is one of the holy grails of that end of the industry. For enthusiasts, this means watching the world’s best on the latest technology as each team grinds out every edge possible over the grueling 21-stage race.

When it comes to the upper tier of cycling clothing, the top brands stand apart for obvious reasons. Craftsmanship, comfort, durability… few riders and teams would trust in the higher cost of apparel unless they absolutely knew that these manufacturers would deliver. So why are teams and clubs dipping deeper into budgets for higher-end apparel?

Andy Schleck’s TdF Prep

Tomorrow marks day one of the Tour de France, and last year’s runner up Andy Schleck is one of the few favorites expected to make a go at unseating 3-time TdF winner Alberto Contador. Check out this 40-minute documentary revealing Schleck’s recent journey to the 2011 Tour:
