THANK YOU CASPER!

What an awesome day celebrating our grand opening of GEAR UP: The Science of Bikes! Mike Casper BMX Racing - Mike Sedar came out and showed us what these bikes can do. Rayn Weis of First Gear Fast brought out a bike we are raffling off so don't forget to stop by and get your tickets!

Kim Schioldan, thank you so much for rounding up the kids and the BMX club today. It made it so much fun to see them riding a wheelie or just going fast down the parking lot!

Thanks to all that joined us and if you missed it there is still time to come check out all the bikes until January 8th. 🚴🚴🚴
