The New Web Site's Here! The New Web Site's Here! We're Somebody!

Well how-dy! After many long hours of pixels in our faces and mouse fur under our fingernails (we didn't hurt them, we just pushed then around a bit), we have finished the web site redesign! So, you're saying, what does this have to do with me? Well, for starters, it's much easier to navigate thanks to improved search functions. Secondly, once you do find that perfect product, you get to tell everyone else how much you like it with product ratings!

Visit the the NEW site and take it for a test drive!

Brighten Up Your Bike

We've just received a new shipment of Eastern's hot new translucent grips and pedals. The Grips are soft and squishy and thin enough for a good grab of the bars. Best of all, they're covered in scary skulls! The pedals are extremely lightweight and they too come in bright colors. They aren't squishy but the dual concave design really sticks to your soles.

REACH Your Potential

Reach Folding Bikes blend function, technology and clean design to create a folder that provides the feel and ride of a full size bike.  The unique folding structure of the bike does not compromise the frame, allowing for greater efficiencies when pedaling.  Your power goes right to your forward motion and is not absorbed in the frame. The Reach SL (super Light) is an ideal choice for training or competing while "on the road". Especially with the huge fees airlines are charging for bicycles these days!
