Bont Cycling shoes are in stock and they will knock your socks off. The Vaypors are super-light, super-stylish, and so hot you'll have let them cool off. Seriously. Bont allows you to fine tune your kicks via the oven, making the perfect fit even more perfect-er. Put on your baking pants, grab a pair of Bonts and make your feet amazingly happy.

The Speed of Light Ride is back, and it's got a hip little twist for the month of May! In honor of the Giro d'Italia, we're having a GC competition, which means YOU could win the coveted pink t-shirt just for showing up and beating everyone over the course of the next four weeks. Wow! Even Boss Lady is getting prepared to go for glory. Oh baby, look out! Here are the details. http://einsteincycles.com/blog/100101

Just in case your myriad alarms didn't go off on Saturday, we've scoured the Interwebs for a replay of the Under The Radar Michigan piece on fat bikes! You're in luck; we found it AND it's going to change your life. We expect to win Best Action Show in this summer's Daytime Television Awards. Thanks to Tom and the gang for stopping by.

More Than A Bike Shop

A Hangout

Einstein Cycles started as a one-man-show run out of a garage. Although we've grown and our walls have changed, the atmosphere remains the same. Drop in and talk bikes with us. If we talk too much, sorry, we can't help it.

Ride With Us

We like to ride and we like people to ride with us. 365 days a year. Our close proximity to the TART Trail makes for a prime group ride start point. We're also well-acquainted with other group rides in the area, so feel free to pick our brains for info.

Community

Not only do we love bikes, we also love the community, which is why we like to keep active and involved. We help maintain trails and bike paths in the area. We also participate in, donote to, and help organize local events and races. We want to see more and more people in Northern Michigan park their cars and get out on a bike.
