BicyclingHub.com was proud to be recognized by the League of American
Bicyclists as one of the 55 newly inducted Bicycle-Friendly Businesses
during the National Bike Summit last week in Washington, D.C. Across the
nation, companies are demonstrating that being bicycle-friendly is good for
business.

Joining other Oregon-based Bicycle Friendly Businesses including *Bike
Gallery*, *Alta Planning + Design*, *Community Cycling Center*, *King Cycle
Group*, *Travel Oregon* and *The Standard*, BicyclingHub.com considers the
Platinum-Level Bicycle Friendly Community of Portland, Oregon the ultimate
testing ground for cycling apparel. Appreciative to be headquartered near
manufacturers such as Castelli, Retro Image Apparel and Showers Pass, and
it's a rare day that a cyclist isn’t going by sporting one of the products
BicyclingHub.com sells. With the opening of its new retail space at 642 SE
Stark St., located near two main corridors for bicycle commuters in the
city’s well-mapped bicycle route network, walk-in business is expected to
increase significantly during the 2011 cycling season, as well as online
traffic from across the nation.

*As our way of saying thanks, BicyclingHub.com is offering $15 off every
purchase of $75 or more thru this weekend (ending Sunday, March 20th at
midnight). No coupons, gimmicks or secret handshakes necessary; just visit
http://www.bicyclinghub.com/ and savings will automatically be reflected in
shopping cart.*

"*As an international retailer in the bicycling industry, our staff lives,
eats, sleeps and breathes bicycling*," states Douglas Duguay, owner and
Sales Manager of BicyclingHub.com. *“In the workplace, we aim to create an
environment that encourages and fosters cycling as both a mode of
transportation and a way of life. Be it encouraging a 100% staff bicycle
commuter rate year-round, installing bike racks at our new office space for
adequate bike parking, holding group staff rides during the summer as
'team-building exercises,' participating in charity fundraisers such as
Portland Tour de Cure and Park-to-Park Montana, or sponsoring
community-building events such as Pedal Nation films, these investments have
yielded excellent returns."*
