Cinelli
Cinelli. Need you say more? A timeless classic. A heritage brand. Art on two wheels. This brand is world renowned for creating frames of high quality and unique design, but most of all they are cherished for their love of cycling and the cycling community. Their true goal is one we hold dear in our own hearts - make another cyclist happy.
(Psst. we have this one ^ Zydeco. Even the name makes your feet want to move)

M2S
We are so thrilled about our new partnership with this brand. M2S (Mountain 2 Sea) bikes are made locally in Asheville. They create a full array of exciting electric bikes perfect for a daily commute or terrain exploration. We’ll be able to fit and service them right here. If we need a part, we call Arden…. not someplace halfway around the planet. These bikes are an absolute hoot to ride. Ask us and you’ll see the happy on our faces.

We’re a little bit different here. We model ourselves on an old school bike shop. There is no bike too humble or group set too complicated. But we can’t give you an estimate without seeing the bike. So bring your bike in, and we’ll get you a complete game plan with options. We want to work within your budget so you can ride happy and ride safely.

ARE you ebike curious?
there are a lot of good reasons to be interested in them.
Ebikes are a fun way to get started with cycling. It’s a tough area here - it’s not flat, no one needs to tell you that. Maybe you’re looking to extend your time in a sport you love (do see the top article mentioned on your right. THere are former pros who are using ebikes to stay cycling, or to return to cycling after illness/injury) It’s a realistic way to explore bike commuting, and they come with cargo options! It’s a quiet way to get out in the woods - without any of the noise or trail destruction of an atv.
whatever your reason. scratch that itch. Come see us.
but WHY M2S Bikes?
that one’s easy.
they’re here. they’re local. They’re great bikes. We can service them. We can get non-standard bike parts with a phone call and a trip to arden.
This is Blake. He runs the warehouse. We did our incredibly fun test rides with Zach (video on insta). Sean helped load up our bikes, and Regis is our dealer contact. Real people that we can talk to… any ol’ time. Isn’t that nice? Can you do that with a bike off amazon? $%&# no. Don’t be silly.
They are a sweet ride at an exceptionally fair price. come in to the shop, have a cup of coffee and see them in person. Chat with adam about which model might be right for your aims and goals.
why buy them through us?
We put them together for you at no extra charge. We size them to you. And we’ll give you a run through on how to use them. that’s pretty nice, right?
https://www.cyclingweekly.com/features/how-much-exercise-do-you-get-on-an-e-bike Great (short), non-hyped article on how to get the best cardiovascular workout from an ebike, including stories of former pros (including a former yellow jersey wearer) who returned to cycling thanks to the benefits of an ebike.
https://electrek.co/2019/08/11/electric-bike-riders-more-exercise-than-cyclists/ If you go back to the source data, the title is misleading (wrong). but Ebikes are a great way to get more people cycling, and cycling more often and further than they would normally. And here is the truly great part - cycling at a cardiovascular load that is 94% of the average heart rate of conventional biking, but at much less perceived effort. much less. And biking does make you happier, healthier and less likely to use your car.
