The Falls - Niagara Falls, NY

Before I flew home a had a chance to get few shots of Niagara Falls









Campus Wheel Works - Buffalo, NY

This is great urban bike shop in the Elmwood Village district  in Buffalo.  They have been in the same location since the early 1970's.  They have done a great job of keeping the feel of store intact.

The staff was a little standoffish about e-bikes until they got on the bikes.

Dick's Cycling & Fitness - Tonawonda, NY

For over 30 years Dick has been pedaling bikes out of this location.  Right on the bike trail the have built up a great business over the years.  They will be selling IZIP's.




It's April 20th and the snow shovel is still out.  Hmmmm

Precision Bicycles & Fitness - Niagara Falls, NY

Jan is one of existing dealers in the Upstate NY market.  He tells me he gets a lot of folks coming down from Canada looking for IZIP.

Park Avenue Bike Shop - Henrietta - Rochester, NY

I didn't it was possible top the enthusiasm at the other Park Ave store.  The crew here just loves our bikes and are waiting for their second order.  They all believe the e-bike category is growing the pie.  A very refreshing attitude.

The store also looked great.  The team here really love what they and it shows.







Park Avenue Bike Shop - Monroe Ave, Rochester, NY

This store lives up to it's many years of being selected as top 100 store.  It looked great!  The staff was as about as enthusiastic as I have seen for e-bikes.  They have already had terrific success and believe it will be major category for them this year.

Geneva Bicycle Center - Geneva, NY

Another top 100 dealer.  From the outside it looked like just another bike shop.  Once you walk in it is shockingly nice.

The store is very well thought out and nicely merchandised.
