In recent weeks BBW has added another two lines of fantastic products to our ever growing collection.

Civia “Bikes For The Way You Live”: Civia Cycles is a relatively new bike company on the scene, but their vision for the future of urban cycling is clear. Civia makes simple, elegant bikes and products that take you to work, to school, the grocer—anywhere you need to go. Whether you’re commuting hours a day or just pedaling a few blocks to the train station, their bikes and accessories keep you and your stuff on the move.

Ibex Outdoor Clothing: We cannot begin to express how much we love Ibex and their line of outdoor clothing! Wool based clothing is the ultimate in performance and comfort and Ibex knows wool best. High quality merino wool wears better than synthetics and does not capture body odor. Additionally, a significant portion of their clothing line is made here is the USA. If you have never tried wool or are skeptical about it, please come by the shop or give us a call and we’d be happy to share the benefits we have discovered.

Choosing the proper winter tire can make all the difference when riding in the cold, wet, snowy or icy conditions. With the many choices available, it can seem difficult or intimidating to make your selection. That’s why we have narrowed down some of our favorite options.

Studded Tires: Yes, they make studded tires for bikes too! These tires are best used in snowy or icy conditions. We like the Innova Studded Tires, available in both 26 and 700c versions. These tires boast replaceable studs and are sure to give you traction in even the most extreme conditions.

Knobby/Street 700c: For hybrid and or cyclocross bikes looking to run a knobby tire around the city, we like the WTB All Terrainasaurus. This tire will give you additional grip in the slushy streets or off road while remaining practical for everyday winter commuting.

Knobby/Street 26: For those of you riding 26’s, we like the Conti Traffic. This tire is MTB worthy, yet has a lower profile center line making it efficient on the city streets.

Cold Weather: We like the Conti TopContact Winter II as an all around cold weather tire. This inverted tread tire provides traction in wet and light snow conditions and it specifically designed to preform in cold temperatures. It keeps you sticking to the road no matter the temperature and with puncture protection and a reflex side wall, it is perfect for Baltimore City streets. Available in 26 and 700c versions.
