Bicycles Plus and Bicycle Planet both offer services designed for the most discriminating cycling veteran as well as newbie’s looking to get started on a fun family lifestyle.
Of course it helps that Folsom is the center of the cycling universe when it comes to trails for family cycling, dirt challenge, BMX air or fun long distance scenic routes.
Bicycle Plus, located within walking distance of the American River Parkway, offers rentals to visitors from classic and comfortable two-seaters to off-road bikes and street cycles. As a former BMX professional, owner John Crews can also provide expert advice for youth interested in the sport. And don’t forget, Folsom has a quality and challenging BMX course offering serious “air” to riders.
Bicycle Plus is also the home of “Ride for a Reason,” a yearly family ride designed to raise funding and attention to those affected by Parkinsons. The shop also specializes in women’s cycling from the perfect bike to organized rides.
For the serious enthusiast, Bicycle Planet offers day demos on high quality competitive and leisure cycles as well as custom fitting, service and advice on the sport. Custom fitting is the key to enjoyable cycling, according to Bicycle Planet.
