Giving You Confidence on the Road

Whether you are entirely new to the sport, interested in triathlons, looking to get into shape, or just want to make some great friends, Syracuse Bicycle’s Women on Wheels Cycling Program is here to help you out. Our aim is to get you to love riding your bike just as much as we do by creating a safe, friendly and fun environment. Our hope is to build up your confidence by riding with other women and learning the basics of cycling.

Women on Wheels is an instructional, “no drop” cycling program. The first 15-20 minutes of each ride is dedicated to teaching you more about how to be a more confident cyclist – flat repair, how to shift, pedaling efficiently, even what to wear when riding. No drop means there will always by a ride leader bringing up the rear to make sure no rider is left behind. We ride along side you as well, teaching you how to get the most enjoyment out of your time in the saddle.

Each 10-week session costs $125 and includes two 75-min cycling classes weekly, a Syracuse Bicycle cycling jersey, and entry fee into an end-of-session race/charity ride.

Session One:  May 23-July 27, 2013. End-of-session event is the 30-mile Spokerride in Sackets Harbor, NY, on Saturday, July 27, 2013.

Session Two: August 8-October 12, 2013. End of session event is the 25-mile Breast Cancer Awareness Ride in Fayetteville, NY, on Saturday, October 12, 2013.

Classes held weekly on Thursdays 6:00pm and Sundays at 8:30am at various locations including: Onondaga Lake Park, Green Lakes State Park, Jamesville Beach County Park, and Oneida Shores County Park.

SPACE LIMITED! Email trish@syracusebicycle.com to register.

We’ve had an incredible response to our 4th Annual Syracuse Bicycle Iron Girl Kick Off event, scheduled for Wednesday, April 10th from 6pm-9pm at Syracuse Bicycle. In fact, we have received over 250 RSVPs, many in just the past few days! Since the primary purpose of this event is educational, we’ve had to limit attendance at the Wednesday, April 10th event to the first 100 RSVPs we received in order to be sure everyone gets the most out of our scheduled program. This event is now filled to capacity andCLOSED for registration.

BUT DON’T WORRY! We’ve decided to schedule a SECOND Iron Girl Kick Off event at Syracuse Bicycle in two weeks on Wednesday, April 24th, from 6pm-9pm for the remaining RSVPs we received! In doing so, attendees will have a better opportunity to talk with our presenters & local coaches AND have a better chance of winning a 2013 Trek Women’s Lexa road bike as we’re now raffling off TWO bikes, one at each event.
You should have already received an email from Syracuse Bicycle confirming your attendance on EITHER Wednesday 4/10 OR Wednesday 4/24. If you haven’t received this email, please contact trish@syracusebicycle.com right away to check on the status of your RSVP.

Domane 6 Series with IsoSpeed has it all: Blistering speed. Incredible comfort and stability, even on the punishing pavé of Flanders and Roubaix. Welcome to a new class of race bike.

Domane 6 Series vs. Specialized Roubaix: RoadBikeAction_DomaneWins!

Powering over centuries-old cobbles, charging up dizzying climbs, descending on rails to an epic win. That’s how Fabian Cancellara rides his Domane. How will you ride yours?

Highlights /

    1. High performance

      OCLV Carbon frame. Race-optimized cable routing. World Champion Fabian Cancellara’s seal of race-ready approval. Performance doesn’t get any higher than this.

    1. Efficient

      Domane makes the most of every pedal stroke. Our Power Transfer Construction stiffens the frame to transfer your pedaling power directly to the road. No waste, all win.

    1. Stable

      Balanced, race-stable geometry and integrated chain keeper give Domane extraordinary handling and flawless shifting on any road, under any load. This bike will not let you down.

  1. Smooth

    Long days and rough roads are no match for IsoSpeed technology. Our innovative decoupler doubles vertical compliance so you ride stronger, longer.

 

What people are saying /

5/5 stars: We tore through potholed country lanes in astonishing comfort. The feeling of being isolated from shocks with no adverse effect on pedalling action or steering deflection was uncanny, and the Domane was as fast uphill or on the flat as any superbike we’ve ridden.

Robin Wilmott
Bikeradar.com

…when we hit our first section of cobbles every single journalist on the ride had the same reaction—this thing really works! I could hit the cobbles at full speed without being thrown to and fro, allowing me to keep the pressure on the pedals without the hits affecting my pedal stroke.

Road Bike Action Magazine

As we ramped up the pace to roll into the first climb and smashed into the cobbles the rear ISO Speed de‐coupler did an astounding job. It soaked up the carnage at the contact patch with amazing aplomb.
