Vitesse Cycle

Thinking about purchasing a new bicycle? One of your first choices, and not really an easy one, will be where to start shopping. While many specialty stores and giant department stores have bicycles in stock, very few, if any, can make sure you get a bicycle that will be safe, perfectly-adjusted, and fit your body well. In department stores, the workers who build the bikes are often paid on a per-bike basis and are undertrained, if trained at all, in bicycle mechanics; unfortunately, this often achieves one thing: quantity over quality, resulting in unsafe and slipshod bikes. At every level of Vitesse, our staff is competent, knowledgeable, and well-trained.

We are not here to move the most product, but to make a long-lasting relationship with you, our customers. This means employees not only make sure you get the right bike, but one that's well-made and perfectly-tuned. No matter what kind of riding style suits you, we can show you all your options and take the time to make sure that you get an ideal fit, through precise measurements and adjustments. You can rely on Vitesse Cycle, your local friendly bicycle experts.

If running is more your speed, we offer a myriad of comfortable, ergonomically-friendly, and aesthetically-appealing athletic shoes, all under the same roof. Our highly-trained and knowledgable staff--made up of athletes, experts, and life-time runners--will guarantee that you get the perfect fit for your foot and activity. Come in for advice on anything running or walking: marathons, 5Ks, training, or injury prevention. No matter the sport or activity, you can rely on us for the best recommendations and equipment.

When you buy from Vitesse Cycle & Often Running, you not only support a local small business, but the local community. Vitesse Cycle & Often Running are dedicated to the service of the community at-large and are heavily involved in local communities, charities, and schools.

We’re proud of our community and are excited for its future; we will always strive to promote healthy lifestyles as we continue to improve our product offerings and customer service.
