Too many delivery trucks

If you have been to the shop recently, you may have noticed that we have piles of boxes on the floor. Normally, these would be in the back, but we have run out of storage space back there.

What we have here is the start of the “pre-season” orders from our suppliers. They want us to buy stuff off season to show our commitment to their brand. Definitely makes it tough on our cash flow to be getting a pile of new bikes and gear just before our winter slow down, but that is the bike biz for you.

But, once thing we have to do is make space for all of this on the floor. And one place I had some room was the sale rack, so I have moved a small pile of Fox and Sugoi clothing over to there and placed it on sale (25% or more off).

I ran out of space on the sale rack, so some items are elsewhere. For example, the red full face helmets are on sale (under $100!). Some shoes are also on sale over in the shoe area.

As a reminder, we have little rings labeling the size on the hangers of most of the clothing. The ones that are black and list a number showing the waist size of the item, white show men’s/unisex sizing (S, M, L, etc.), and the ones with red stripes are women’s specific sizing (also S, M, L, etc.).
