Celebrate National Bike Month in San Jose, CA

May is National Bike Month, and this week is Bike to Work Week, with Bike to Work Day being Friday, May 17.  Bike Month is sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists, and they promote National Bike Month as an opportunity for people to “celebrate the unique power of the bicycle and the many reasons we ride.” Many people are enthusiastic about biking, whether for eco-friendly reasons, health reasons, or just for fun.  For bicyclists in San Jose, one local bike shop is there to meet their cycling needs. Willow Glen Bicycles, located off Lincoln Ave in San Jose, has been serving the cycling needs of San Jose locals since 1937.  Purchased by avid bicyclist Eric Balfus in February 2011, the staff at Willow Glen is enthusiastic about helping their customers find just the right bike for their needs.  San Jose locals will find a great selection of bikes and cycling supplies, along with one-site repair at Willow Glen Bicycles.  They offer everything from mountain, to road, to cruiser, to children’s bikes.  Those thinking of participating in Bike to Work Day will want to head over to Willow Glen to get their bikes tuned up and pick up any supplies they might need before this Friday. If you purchase bicycling supplies or bikes that you need to ship, trust the San Jose AIM Mail Center to package and ship your items.  The friendly professionals can even help you compare shipping rates to find the best rate and service for shipping your new items.
