Arizona is well known for its weather and desert landscape. We’ve got roads and trails that stretch for miles across flat, winding and rugged terrain. While the summer months may be sweltering, we have temperate winter, spring and fall seasons that make us ideal for outdoor activities.
Our weather happens to be the #1 reason Arizona and more specifically, Tucson, is an ideal place for cyclists. Cycling in Tucson is a popular form of recreation and it is no surprise why.
Sabino Cycles
I spoke to Steve Wetmore, owner of the local Tucson business Sabino Cycles, about his shop and the cycling culture in Tucson. He explained to me why Tucson is a great place for cyclists to come, stay and train.
“Tucson has a pretty large network of bicycle paths as well as roads that have shoulders wide enough to accommodate riders. Cyclists really like to take advantage of the weather and availability of routes here. Pro teams come here in the winter to do their training. We have people coming from all over the world to get in training.”
In a city where cycling reigns supreme in the outdoor world, Sabino Cycles is a neighborhood full-range bicycle shop that is supporting Tucson’s bike culture and helping people find their own path into cycling.
“Sabino cycles has been in business for 20 years. We have a reputation for great customer service that we work very hard to maintain and build upon. We are a full line bike shop, we have kids bikes all the way up to high end carbon fiber racing bikes. We want customers to come in and feel like they are at their neighborhood bike shop, where they can get quality bikes and get advice from people who are passionate about cycling. We have a full range of bicycles for riders at any level, great customer service and we offer bicycle repair and servicing.”
Steve and all of the staff at Sabino Cycles are cyclists and look to support local cycling events as well as the Tucson cycling community.
