Have you been sitting on the fence looking at Brompton Folding Bikes? Now would be a great time to jump off that fence and ride away on a new Brommie. We currently have a rainbow of color options available to purchase.
We even have the Limited Edition Brompton Raw Lacquer Bikes. These show the artfulness of the bikes. Study a raw lacquer bike and you will see the crafting that is involved in making a Brompton.
If you need some help working out which model makes the most sense for you, just give us a call (612-827-8000) or stop in (Uptown Minneapolis) and we'll work through the trickiest details with you. We have great bag options for the Bromptons and being that Brommies are superb city utility bikes, the bags are an essential add-on to consider right from the get-go. Also we have a variety of carry cases to handle your use (from air travel to trunking).

Yes, they're in the shop! The highly anticipated Brooks Team PRO Vans Limited Edition saddle has arrived. This is a limited edition of 500 saddles worldwide, with 200 being sold exclusively through Vans Stores and 300 through Supreme and Outstanding Brooks Dealers of Excellence (that’s us). Part of a the Vans Vault Collection, the saddle is embossed with a skull and flower pattern designed by Vans. By far the coolest saddle ever. We won't be able to get more -- so if you're interested order soon.
These saddles may have been sold through, but make sure to check out our current selection of Brooks Saddles HERE.
Momentum is a favorite cycling publication here at the shop. It's a bit Euro in that the magazine is all about real world people riding bikes in the real world. If you haven't had a chance to read it I'd recommend jumping on the website and checking Momentum out.
The current issue has an article by Troy Pieper titled "Recumbent Riders". There are a couple of Perennial Cycle mentions in the article and both John McConaghay and Luke Breen (myself) were sources for the article.
The first order placed with ICE was actually with the previous owner (Peter Ross) and the company was named TRICE. I'm thinking that was 14 years ago. The draw for me was that it was a design that could be packed into a small carton, so having one shipped from the UK was not exorbitant. Perennial Cycle has kept up that relationship every year since.
Chris and Neil took over shortly after we got our first trike and within a short time they had made so many improvements on the original model that they changed the name to ICE (Inspired Cycle Engineering) and kept improving the design as well as the manufacturing process.
Over the years I have often told customers that I don't think the guys at ICE sleep and that is how they can keep making so many improvements to their trikes. I've also said that they certainly know what to do when they get out of bed in the morning...Go To Work...and Stay Late.
All their hard work appears to be paying off in a big way for them. The trikes are extremely polished and any resemblance to the original model is only visible to a highly trained eye (mine might be the only one).
Several years back ICE was battling for the #1 position in the trike world with a few other manufacturers and I felt like they were #1. I told this to Neil and he said there's only one direction to go if you are on the top. At the time I thought he was saying "down", but I was wrong.
Congrats to the team at ICE. It's a great team with tons of integrity and a desire to make the best.
Last year ICE saw an 80% increase in sales. This is due to a number of things lining up for them, but the key feature was their product.
Here's a video from ICE that will give you a feel for the company:
