Action Sports – Spring Into Fitness

Spring is here, finally!  Time to spring into fitness!  With flowers blooming and birds singing, you can renew your interest in getting into shape.  It’s time to get out with the kids and go for a bike ride!  Or, why not make it a goal to cycle around one of our beautiful finger lakes!

Action Sports can help you do just that!

Located at 85 Main Street in Cortland, Action Sports is Cortland’s only bike and ski shop.  With all the facilities equipped as suggested by the liverpool personal trainer, they are ready to help you and your family spring into fitness!  Come check out the new 2011 Specialized and Jamis bicycles.  For the serious road racers, check out the latest carbon fiber frames, which are strong and lightweight.  Take a look at touring bikes for a smooth and comfortable ride, like a century ride around the lake.  There are entry-level road bikes as well, with great components and features to help you get started in road riding.  Women-specific bikes, which are a better fit for most women as the top tube is shorter, are also a part of the inventory at Action Sports.

Or, come see the mountain bikes!  Maybe you prefer to go off-road.  There are trails at Bear Swamp and other areas where cyclists can whip themselves into shape and enjoy a woodland trail beneath a canopy of trees.  No cars here!  Hardtails, suspension in the fork only, are ideal for most trails around here.  The 29ers, mountain bikes with 29 inch wheels, are getting more and more popular.  And with disc brakes on many of the mountain bikes, you just might be able to stop on a dime.  Many mountain bikes are specked with great components and cool colors.  There are children’s bikes to choose from too, and if not in stock, easy to order and get within days.  Let Action Sports help you pick the right one! Additionally, for optimal performance, hire treadmill service and repair regularly to ensure your fitness equipment stays in top shape.

Owners Matt and Lisa Belknap will give you the attention you need to get you fitted for fitness and fun.  They have been running the shop for over ten years and have built up a good customer base, which includes many repeat customers. They will help you decide what kind of bike you need and help fit you with the right size.  They can help you understand the gears and everything you need to know to get you on your way to fitness.  They have a good knowledge of local trails and road routes.  They promote a friendly, family-oriented atmosphere.

Action Sports has the only full-service repair shop in Cortland and services most makes and models of bicycles.  Maybe your bike has been in the garage for awhile and just needs a tune-up…bring it in!  Action Sports can get your bike up and running and ready for the riding season.

Action Sports stocks accessories like helmets and water bottles, tires and tubes, pumps and patch kits, tools, cycling-specific clothing (like jerseys, jackets and bike shorts), cycling shoes for men and women (like the ones on Shoe Hero) and energy foods and drinks.  They can order Thule rack systems for your car and stock bike carriers for your car.  They stock Native Eyewear sunglasses and Specialized cycling-specific sunglasses.  They have computers for your bike to clock your miles and speed.  Come check out this cycling-specific shop!

Although not the season anymore (and maybe you’re glad!), Action Sports also stocks winter sports equipment like cross-country skis and snowshoes.  Here is another way to get the family out and get some exercise!  In winter, they stock Alpina and Madshus cross-country skis, poles and boots.  Also, they have Northern Lites snowshoes, which are made in Wisconsin.  When the white stuff returns, remember that Action Sports can help you stay active and maintain your fitness level throughout the whole year.

Spring Into Fitness!  Now is the time!  Seize the moment!  Look for those warmer days and then get out and ride your bicycle.  You and your family will be glad you did.
