Yes, the bike-loving staff of Local Ride Bike Shop are in a frenzy since Giant shipped a stack of boxes filled with beautiful 2010 TCR and Defy carbon road bikes. Since our trusty mechanics have built them up and given them homes on the showroom floor, we’ve been regularly wiping them down on account of all the drool… just kidding! We’re all very sanitary here at Local Ride. We’re also excited to announce many other models of brand new unisex and women’s s Giant bikes as well, including the Rapid, Dash, Avail, Trance X, and Cypher. Drop on by and have a look.
Local Ride at the Forefront
Giant Bicycles, the world leader in bicycle manufacturing, released its new custom bicycle retail Point of Sale system to the world last week at Local Ride Bike Shop. “I’m honoured for our shop to have been chosen as the first in the world to help develop this new system for Giant dealers worldwide,” said Barry, Local Ride’sOwner. The new system will be beneficial for the shop’s customers, said Bryan Kao, GM of Giant Bicycles Canada. The software allows transactions to be completed very easily and quickly. If the customer would like a product that the shop does not have in stock, employees can instantly look up Giant’s inventory in real time and give an ETA for delivery. The system also stores customers’ information and their bikes’ maintenance records, which will allow the shop’s mechanics to improve their service and increase the life of customers’ bicycles. “Barry is our partner and we really want to support him in what we see is a growing area,” said Kao.

Giant carbon bikes are replacing purse dogs as the hot new accessory of the season. You don’t have to feed them, they look good with any outfit (especially if it’s Lycra), and they’ll help you get fit! We’re pretty excited about Giant’s 2010 carbon road bikes, especially the classic white and blue TCR Advanced 3 for $2759 and the stealth looking Defy Advanced 3 for $2,299. The folks at Giant are serious about bikes – they design, engineer, and manufacturer all of their bikes in-house, plus they even make their raw materials, like their carbon fiber and ALUXX aluminum.
