We hope you've never confused bicycles with toys, books, or gas grills.

Ordinary Cycles  is a place where you can start out with a decent bike that fits you properly or spec your own custom dream machine. It's a place where you can meet new friends that cycle or hash out last week's ride or race with cyclists you've known for years. We're also a place where you can come to learn about technical terms you don't quite understand or to debate the merits of materials, wheelbuilding, or current events in our little sphere. Just drop in for the current issue of The Ride, VeloNews or a waterbottle.

Ordinary Cycles is a place devoted to bicycles, not a place to get snowboards, the hot new toy, or a vacuum cleaner.
