The Rads are decked out for the Christmas ride.

On Saturday we’re attending the annual pedal to look at homes that are decorated for Christmas event. We’ve always pedaled our ELFs for this event, but this year we’re pedaling the Rad bikes.

May is Bike Month

I did it. I bought a Rad Bike

Wow! I’m impressed. First off let me just say the staff at the San Diego Rad Bike Store is amazing.  We just purchased 2 Rad Minis. I was expecting to pay the full 2022 price. After all it was a new year and the price of everything has gone up. But what the heck, I’ll… Continue reading I did it. I bought a Rad Bike
