Our New APP!



We had just created a totally new application for smart phones and tablets for our business. The app will feature 3 options. The first option will be our store. It will show our products on a user friendly page. You will be able to buy bikes and parts off of this section. The second option will be great if you’re traveling or recently moved to a new town. It will show you all he good places to bike. Off road trails and road trails. The will also be rated by other users of the trials. The last option will be the weather feature. It is like the weather app but this one will give you notifications when it’s nice out and it will remind you if it’s going to rain so you won’t get stuck in a storm. This app will be available for all smart phones and tablets free of charge! So please check it out on your apple or android device!

All Our Bikes Will Now Be On Velospace!

This week I’d like to introduce my followers to Velospace. Velospace is a niche social media site kind of like an Instagram for bikes. But it’s narrowed down to just bikes. MK Leadout Cycles would like you to become a member. The idea is to post a picture of your bike and state the components that make it special. For instants what kind of frame it has or the type of rimes. People can comment and let you know what they think about your bike. It’s totally free and it’s also very fun! MK Leadout Cycles will be posting a picture of every bike we have to offer. So if you’d like to know anything about our bikes but don’t have time to come down to the shop check it out on Velospace.

try Velospace out @http://velospace.org/node

 
Here we have a little tutorial on how to use Velospace!
(I can't upload my video to my blog. We talked about and I'll just show it to you sometime)

It brings in a lot of new costumers for our business its feels good to help out the team during the off season. The Virginia crowns will also be giving out free VIP ticks to a home game.

The man who has cycled the globe

Thomas Andersen is living the dream he has been traveling the world on his bike across Europe.
He left Copenhagen in October 2010 by bicycle. The first part of the trip he went through Eastern Europe towards Turkey and the Middle East. He was lucky to make it through Syria, Jordan and Egypt just before the Arab spring in 2011. He then flew to India and cycled across this fascinating sub-continent. In South East Asia he made it across Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia before catching a short flight to Darwin in Australia. He cycled across the vast Outback towards Melbourne and Sydney. He is now in South America, cycling from Ushuaia in Argentina to Newfoundland in Canada. Right now he's probably in northern Ecuador. looking at some amazing sites. Thomas Andersen is doing what most of us can only dream of. Wouldn't it be nice to take a few years of your life to travel the world on a bike.

MK Leadout Cycles opened its doors in 1947. It was purchased by Mitch Kent in 2000. Today, over 60 years later, we are still supporting the active lifestyles of all our customers. We are the only bike shop in town that only sticks to bikes. No skis or snowboards or skateboards. Just bikes. All year ‘round. Not to say that other sports aren’t fun, but we stick to the one we love. We have and work on all different kinds of bikes from Road, mountain, cyclocross, and gravel. You name it and someone in the shop has probably raced it. Ah how we love the smell of tires, grease, and hard work. As a service shop first and foremost, we have a special appreciation for the used, abused, and loved. We offer a full range of service from tube replacements to full overhauls. We also offer a full range of bikes too. All year round we sell children’s bikes, road bikes, mountain bikes, fat tire bikes, dirt jumpers, and bmx bikes. If we don’t have exactly what you’re looking for in stock we can also order your dream bike. The selections are endless.
