Test rides: Because we have a smaller,
focused professional staff and a smaller space than many shops, we
suggest emailing or calling before visiting to test ride, especially in
the off season, inclement weather, or for trikes, tandems, recumbents,

Autumn
is upon
us. The leaves are just beginning to turn and mornings are a little
cooler. This brings great riding opportunities and even greater
opportunities here at the shop. It’s a great time to take care of the more
major services you’ve been putting off all year. Complete overhaul turn-
around time is less than a week this time of year. It’s a great way to make
that old reliable commuter or your race weary road bike ride like new again
without missing too much time in the saddle. We also have nearly
on-the–spot turn around for many other services. |

We've been swapping to more comfortable handlebars, saddles,
installing easier gearing, and even doing major facelifts to the
point that the ol' machine is hardly recognizable.
People are amazed and delighted.

CycloCross and
Touring Seasons are here
Because we can outfit any 'cross' bike as a tourer or tourer
for 'cross', you get two bikes and two seasons for the price of one-and if
you're a commuter, make that three.
We've come a very long way since Larry captured a gold medal in the senior
mens' Maryland/Delaware district championships* .
We're loaded with dozens of new and lovingly pre-muddied bikes from Bianchi,
Cannondale, Fuji, Redline, Specialized, Trek, and more. From basic entry
models to our 16 lb pro team flagship- the Carbon frame/carbon wheel Fuji
Altamira CX 1.1 with SRAM Red XXII hydraulic discs.
If you need more than the typical parking lot test ride that many places
give, we have bikes for rent that you can take to the course- and of course,
your rental applies to purchases.
*a long way- total field was three!

David Campbell at the finish of "L'Eroica " in Italy
October 7, 2012
Congratulations to Cannondale corporation's own David Campbell and wife
Rebecca Sellet for her help in finishing L'Eroica 2012 in Italy. Dave and
Larry go back decades, not only as retro bike aficionados, but as supplier
and retailer. College Park Bicycles was there on Day one in 1982 when
Cannondale announced their 'Aluminum Advantage' bikes.Larry goes back to '72
selling outdoor clothing, tents, and bike bags, at The Bike Pedalers, an old
shop where he worked since 1965. Because of other volunteer assignments
having come up, Larry had to abandon hopes of attending L'Eroica this year,
but helped supply David and his wife with classic 60's and 70's bikes for
the event. We are looking forward to a debriefing and more reports and
photos from David and Rebecca! Great Job David and Rebecca! |

Trike of the Year as posted on "Bent Rider Online".
Available at Mt. Airy Bicycles
Catrike Villager - Catrike’s Villager underwent a major redesign. The most noticeable change was the adjustable seat angle. Catrike has resisted this change for several years. Their trikes
have always been known for the stiffness provided by their unique
space frame and the company was hesitant to sacrifice that. Well,
they finally figured out how to have their cake and eat it to. The
new Villager feels every bit as stiff as the old one and only weighs
half a pound more. The adjustment mechanism itself is a joy to use
and is the new benchmark for others to measure up to.

Because of their long time passion for
recumbents and trikes, they carry one of the most comprehensive

Linda's been recumbent - only for
almost 20 years and visited the plant to pick up two new trikes which

Service Scheduling
Notice
Please email or phone to schedule any service
work or repairs.

we will need to schedule all service work.
Please see "guidelines
for better service" - this will save you time and
money. If your service is routine and not needed to get
you going, we suggest waiting until later in the season when
rates are lower. Believe it or not, there are many that
are just thinking about digging out their bikes to ride for
the first time this year.

Mt. Airy Bikes welcomes returning Special Olympics
champion.
Thomas Smith was back visiting Mt. Airy Bikes following his
successful Gold Medal wins at the Maryland Special Olympics held recently at
the Sykesville Police Training Center. Thomas competed in the 5K and 10K
bicycle races winning gold in both and bettering his last years times by
approximately 1 minute and 2 minutes, respectively. This years course was
one kilometer in length and provided some challenging terrain.
Thomas was competing on his Electra Townie bicycle (no, NOT electric) and
said it performed like a champ. I think it was Thomas that performed like a
champ.
Due to his outstanding performance, Thomas's coach has recommended he
upgrade to a slightly lighter and quicker bike to take him to the next
level. Is there a level better than Gold?
Thomas, thanks for being a part of the Mt. Airy Bikes "team" and continued
good luck in your training and racing. |

 College
Park and Mt. Airy Bicycles are pleased to announce that the
sub-1600 gram Topolino AX3.0-T tandem wheelset is in stock
and ready to be demoed.
Read a review
Topolino Technology has nearly six years of experience
producing some of the most technologically advanced and high
performance composite road bike wheelsets in the world.
The AX 3.0-T takes full
advantage of Topolino’s proven though-the-hub spoking and
bulletproof kelvar / Carbon spokes to maximize stiffness and
vastly reduce weight over a traditional steel spoke tandem
wheels. At a feathery 1580 grams (per set) the AX3.0-T is
quite possibly the lightest tandem wheelset in the world.
But lightness, in this case, is not sacrificed for
durability. Sets of AX 3.0-Ts were put through their paces
during the grueling 2007 Race Across America with nary a
failure in sight and are garnering praise from tandem
enthusiasts across the United States including acclaimed
frame builder Craig Calfee. |

A USA-Made 'EX-Works' Masterpiece, using original molds and
machinery from the 1948-1953 era. Limited edition. Comes with
numbered certificate.
Originally sold for $3000 by a famous New York retail/catalog
store. More than a work of art, it's ready to ride and complete
with all those great comforts that have been missing on bikes
for a half century! Headlight, Taillight, Brakelight, Plush
Double Springer Fork, Electric Push Button Horn in the 'Gas'
Tank, and More. The Wide Comfort Saddle allows longer rides.
Coaster Brakes ,operated by simply back-pedaling , are easy to
operate, and powerful enough to impress the crowd with a
fishtail skid as you ask the envious bystanders to "Get a Load
of This!" Yes, they'll reminisce and grin as you glide by - this
is one Swell bike! Wanna head Off Road? The first mountain bikes
over 30 years ago started life as these types of bikes! Wide
Whitewall Tires are great on Dirt, Grass, Gravel, and the Beach!
Wet roads? No worry with the oversize Bright Plated Fenders, and
the Heavy-Duty Wheels will stand up to that paper route in case
you want a second income. A solid investment - it can only
appreciate and be treasured for generations as a family
heirloom. The Ultimate Gift for Father's or Mother's Day,
Graduation, and looks great under a tree - inside for the
Holidays or outside in the playground or yard. Come in for a
test ride - see how such a simple machine can make such a
difference for you and your planet. This is the gift that keeps
on giving - It not only benefits the owner with economical
recreation and health, it helps the environment, the economy,
and our overcrowded transportation situation. Pedals not
pictured but ARE included.
Our Special Deal:
Because we're a real bike shop, you can get the bike fully
assembled and ready to ride at no extra cost. We include
complimentary after care for five years. All for $977.
Can't make it in? We can arrange assembly and delivery in the
mid-Atlantic area for a small fee, or can ship the bike in the
special double-wall carton via low-cost Amtrak or truck freight.
Sorry, too large for UPS .

 Limited
Edition Masi 3V Volumetrica
Naturally,
we secured a small batch and if you get in on the 'charter',
(before they go to friends and families of the
Californians).
We
have only a handful left. Please
email for
the current availability and pricing
Only 25 made, by Ted Kirkbride ( former owner
of Masi- handpicked by Faliero Masi) and Russ Denny (local
builder who apprenticed at Masi California) and painted by
Cyclesmith (who painted the original Masis). The lugs are
the ORIGINAL lugs from 20 years ago. The tubing is Dedacciai.
The rear dropouts are the compact horizontal HENRY JAMES
that Ted personally selected. The rear end has 130 spacing
to accommodate a modern drivetrain. The fork is 1" with an
uncut, unthreaded steerer tube so the final buyer can either
use a threadless headset or have threads cut into the
steerer and use a standard headset and quill stem- for the
purists

Wool
is (back) In
Choose from two shops
(College Park version not pictured yet), long
or short sleeve, two color 'ways', or do what the real devotees
do - get a variety.
You can sport a different one each day of the week, but that's
not necessary, because these are 100% Merino Wool, the no-itch
natural fabric that vaporizes those fragrances that the
synthetics retain.
Wool's natural insulating and wicking properties make it perfect
year 'round. Major League baseball umpires wear wool under
and outer garments to maintain their comfort, judgment and
sanity
Introductory pricing $119
short sleeve, $139 long sleeve- far less than
similar garments with more common signatures. |
Book your rental
now for your next affair or business meeting.
OUR VERY
OWN Conference Bike is available for your next outing,
meeting, or group therapy session Please be sure to book well in
advance. We supply the operator, so you have six seats
available. Bring your own keg.
 |
Unicycles
While
many shops are run by clowns,
we have a unicyclist as well.
We currently stock dozens of unicycles from 12" to 5 feet high
and are expecting a 36-inch model built from an 1880's style
wheel.
|
Men (and Women)- worried about your bike saddle?
We GUARANTEE each saddle with a trial ride - yes, you can try 'em
before you decide. We'll take any saddle back after you've tried
it in exchange for another, and then again and again if needed.
If the seat's not worn or damaged, we'll swap it.
We want you to feel safer and better with your cycling
experience. |

SOMERSET PA
July 6 2007
Under a bright sunny sky with a mild breeze out of the
north, the Mt Airy Bicycles men's tandem team crossed the line
for a silver medal in the USA Cycling 2007 National
championships. The event was for the age 110 years combined
with Larry Black as captain and Steve Ruckert as stoker, the
team completed the tricky and challenging 24km course in just
over 36 minutes. (more...)

CustomerI rented a tandem from you this past

a blast. Thanks a lot for your help
