Model year 2017 bikes have been released by Salsa Cycles for our viewing pleasure, and many of you have seen these bikes splashed all over the innergoogles. Okay, so when could you actually see one of these unicorns? 

Well, as it turns out, you can not only see one, or many other 2017 Salsa Cycles models, you could ride them. 

That's right, Salsa Cycles has a demo van stuffed with new 2017 bikes and it is showing up at George Wyth State Park between 4:00pm and 7:00pm at the "turn around" at the end of Wyth Road at the Josh Higgins Shelter/Lodge site. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Europa Cycle & Ski at 319-277-0734. Business hours at the shop are as follows: Mon-Fri: 9:00am - 8:00pm, Saturday: 9:00am -5:00pm, and Sunday:12:00 noon - 5:00pm.

Hope to see you there!

Crazy Daze

Ask about special pricing on some cool fat bikes!!

Often times in smaller cities they have what we used to call, "Crazy Daze", or maybe "Sidewalk Sale" days, where merchants would slash pricing during the Summer months for one day to move old inventory. Well, at Europa Cycle & Ski, we have some bikes we need to move. Prices will never be better on items like these, (limited to in store stock), so get yerself on in to find out what great deals are to be had. I cannot even list the prices here, but if you want to know, give us a call at 319-277-0734. There are some fat bikes, a few nice road bikes, and maybe an odd deal here or there, but ya gotta call. Business hours are Weekdays: 9am-8pm, Saturday 9am -5pm, and Sunday Noon to five.

The next crazy thing coming up is Saddledrive, which is when we will find out what Salsa Cycles has cooked up new for 2017 and beyond. I know there will be a fat bike introduction, some "plus" bike madness, and more. But if you want to know the coolest thing about these new bikes, well, read on....

Europa Cycles will be welcoming Salsa Cycles' demo truck on August 15th at Geo Wyth State Park, and guess what? That truck will be stuffed with the newest bicycles for you to try out. Look for a more detailed announcement coming soon!!

Salsa Cycles Demo Tour: June 29th: Update

Update: It has come to my attention that the "exact" location within Geo Wyth State Park is not clear for the demo, which happens Friday at 4pm and goes on until 8:00pm in the evening.

Please follow the access road until you reach the "turnaround" at the shelter. (Notice- don't take any lefts or rights off the main road. Just follow the road in until you cannot go any further.) This is about a three mile service road that winds through the heart of the park and starts at the gate off of Highways 218/27.

Please remember to bring the following:

• Helmet
• Credit card and I.D.
• Shoes/pedals*
• Good attitude!

*Note- these are not necessary unless your cycling shoes are specific to a certain clipless pedal.

Remember- Guitar Ted will also be leading a short version of a Fargo/Vaya Adventure Ride starting at 6:00pm.

Questions? Call the shop at 319-277-0734 Thanks! See ya there Friday!

Salsa Cycles Demo Tour: June 29th

Europa Cycle and Ski presents a demo day with Salsa Cycles! The event will happen at Geo Wyth State Park at the shelter/turn-around area.

The date and times are as follows:

Date: June 29th, (Friday)
Time: 4:00pm - 8:00pm

What: Ride Salsa Cycles bicycles and see what you think of them on Geo Wyth dirt and paved trails. Both mountain and pavement oriented bicycles will be featured.

How: You'll need to show up between 4:00pm and 8:00pm with your helmet, a current credit card/ID, and your specific clipless pedals, if necessary. Sign waivers, ride, decide.

Bonus: Guitar Ted will be leading a mini-Fargo/Vaya Adventure Ride starting at 6:00pm to show off the capabilities of Salsa's Fargo and Vaya models, specifically, but any bike should work. Plan on about 1-1.5hrs of ride time and be prepared for single track, pavement, and dirt roads.
