Raleigh Cyclo-cross



If you've never heard of cyclocross I recommend going to Youtube and looking up some of the races. This could be the coolest, fastest and muddiest cycling sport in the world. It's like a cross between road racing and mountain bike racing. Riders navigate down roads, through the rough terrain of the woods and then dismount their bicycles and carry them over obstacles. The Raleigh RX 1.0 is built for the demanding sport of cyclocross, but it's also the ultimate fast, light and agile recreational bike.


Here are some of the features of the RX 1.0-

  • Easton carbon fiber fork


  • Butted alloy aluminum frame


  • SRAM Rival 10 spd. shifter


  • Vittoria Cross XG Pro 700X32c tires


  • SRAM Rival front and rear derailleurs


The Raleigh RX 1.0 is at the shop now. Whether you are into cyclocross racing or just want a unique road bike, come give it test ride.

A single-speed bicycle with traditional style





One of the sharpest looking bikes at the shop right now is Raleigh's Rush Hour Flat Bar. It features the classic details of the old wood-track racing bikes. But this one's not for racing- it is appropriate for any type of recreational riding in the city or on the paths. It's the high quality details and retro essence that make this single-speed bike so special.






The Rush Hour embodies traditional, streamlined design. The frame is Reynold 520 butted tubing. It's steel, not aluminum, just like the classic bicycles it was inspired by. It has a flip-flop style rear wheel, which means you have free wheel and direct drive options. The Rush Hour features alloy sealed track hubs and aerodynamic aluminum rims in a baby blue hue that contrast with the bright white tires. One of the nicest details on this bike is the British-made Brooks leather saddle and grips.





The Rush Hour Flat Bar represents the essence of cycling and is quite possibly the most attractive ride you'll find. If you're looking for a traditional single-speed bicycle, check out the Rush Hour.


Ride on!

One of our most popular bikes is...

... the women's Raleigh Route 3.0



This is the most popular pick for women who are looking for a comfortable hybrid-style bicycle for roads, paths and trails. This bike is built for comfort and has some unique features that make the Route 3.0 a smooth ride. Its upright styling puts the handlebars higher and closer to the body, so no more back pain! Adjustable shocks are found on the fork and seat post to help cushion your ride from bumps. The hand grips are ergonomically designed to fit your palm. Your ride is topped off by a super-soft memory foam saddle.






The frame is made of aluminum so it's light and easy to handle. The Route 3.0 is available in multiple frame sizes for any height rider. Raleigh's "EASE comfort geometry" make this bike comfortable, balanced and stable. The rims are also aluminum, making them strong and light. The tires feature Raleigh's special "Shield", which is a puncture resistant lining to protect against flats.




This beauty is available in pearly white and delicious mint green, both accessorized with a rich chocolate saddle, pedals and hand grips. This model also comes in a men's version that's available in black and grey. Come in to be fitted for your next hybrid bike and give the Route 3.0 a test ride.
Happy riding!
