Preview of a New Beginning...

721 Castro St. Martinez, Ca.

Thanks for the last 14 years

In March of 2002, a new bike shop opened in Danville, with the hopes and dreams of bringing the passion of cycling to a growing community. Our goal was to offer brands and products that were not seen in any other shops in the East Bay. We focused on European manufacturers and American builders, that were coveted by enthusiasts and racers alike. In 2004 we created C4 Racing, starting with only a dozen riders; the team grew quickly to over 100 members. We were also the first sponsors of the local junior racing team, Tiene Duro. Via C4 we started both the Lafayette Criterium, and the Mt. Diablo time trial that still ascends Northgate road to just below the junction. We were the first partners with Team DMC, a women's multi-sport club and team. I also named, and helped sponsor the first Cruella Ride hosted by DMC. And then there is the Mt. Diablo Challenge, which through the eight or so years we were associated, saw Pegasus donate over $12K to help the cause of our favorite mountain. We have had an amazing list of talented employee athletes: two that went on to be National Champions; one current pro; and the amazing amateur athletes that we call our regular clients. Before we go, we would like to thank all of you that supported us, and hope you continue to do so in the next evolution of the shop!! It may be a little bit of a drive, but I assure you it will be worth it! In the interim, please feel free to contact me at chris@pegasusbicycleworks.com. I will continue to take care of you all as best I can. I will have news posted soon about the next phase of life for Pegasus Bicycle Works. Stay tuned…

Fall Beneath My Feet

Fall drapes our hills for what I consider the finest riding of the year. The allegory of the changing seasons on planet earth. Fall heralds the Holiday season with All Hallows Eve, the Day of Thanksgiving and ends in the culmination of many cultural and religious celebrations. For me, it symbolizes the shedding of the past year and gets me mentally, spiritually and physically ready to start a new. It is a time of reflection and a chance to widen your views and broaden your soul. All while riding through life. We are here to help one another and figure out a way to make it all work, with love and respect as the foundation of our efforts. So before we go out in to the world this holiday season, lets try to remember to enjoy each other. And take that extra time to stop and help that cyclist who is stopped on the side of the road. 

And before I forget, the riding is amazing! So join us on our next ride and share some holiday cheer.

Fall Demo-Season begins this weekend!

Instinct BC Edition

We have 2016 Demos from Rocky Mountain and Eddy Merckx Cycles. Stop by and book a date or give us a call to check the ride schedule. We have the Thunderbolt and Instinct full-suspension bikes from Rocky. One is a 27.5", the other a 29". Both are trail bikes with 120-140mm of travel. Both are the BC Editions to boot. From Eddy Merckx we have the Mourenx 69 and the all new Strasbourg. One is a full carbon endurance road bike, the other, a do it all, no roads barred, Alloy framed gravel eating machine. Stop by and see why these two brands are poised to be huge for 2016. Both of these small brands shine light on why sometimes being bigger is NOT always better. (Or just stop by for a beer and talk bikes...)

Post Rain Trail Ride

The light tamping the trails received from the rain last week is all but gone. Even with the predicted precipitation, I think we will be able to hit the trails all winter. The ground is so dry that it may take some biblical rain to get "normal" winter trail conditions... we can only hope. And I hope my forecast is incorrect and we are kept off the trails for a little while. Hope you all had a nice weekend

Breezer Designs Bike for the Pope

Breezer Designs a custom bike for the Pope and donates 100 bikes to bicycle based community programs in Philadelphia! All in an effort to advocate the "noblest invention". 
"A simple bicycle offers not just healthful exercise but access to employment, education, and health care," said Mayor of Philadelphia Michael Nutter. "The bicycle is a true champion for all, regardless of socioeconomic or cultural background, gender, age, or any perceived limitations. Getting places under their own power gives people an enhanced sense of their individual potential and greater hope about their lives." take a read...
My only comment about the bike? It may be a bit to flash for Francis. He seems to a jesuit through and through.
