Bicycling Articles

Bicycling is a wonderful hobby and sport and RACE has a number of members who are bicycling enthusiasts. Occasionally these folks will publish articles on cycling that should be shared with more people than are just in our local area, so we will publish the articles here as well. We hope that you will find them helpful and entertaining. Here is the list of articles so far:

Customization

One of the early members of RACE, Dave Wogen, has been leading the way in the Upper Midwest in customizing bicycles for owners with special needs. We are very pleased to be associated with Dave and his business, River Rider Cycle & Specialty of Wabasha, Minnesota. Dave has described his mission in his own words better than we ever could. Contact him if you would like to have some special help with your bicycle, tricycle or quadracycle, of conventional or recumbent design. Here is his business website.

Chain Clone Tool

Performing maintenance on bicycles and trikes is an important part of every bike shop's revenue. The shops have the correct tools for almost all of their jobs but they've been making do with a very labor intensive approach to replacing chains--take the old chain, count the links, then do the same for a new chain, cut it and replace the chain. The patent pending tool which we have developed solves this problem in a very ergonomic fashion. If you have a bike shop, you need one of these tools. Contact us.
