Outskirts is a member of the National Bicycle Dealers Association. The following is an excerpt from their site.

Bicycles are vehicles that can travel at high speeds and withstand even demanding conditions. To do their best, they need to be constructed of high-quality materials, assembled by competent and trained bicycle mechanics, and properly adjusted to fit you right. By purchasing your new bike from a professional bicycle store instead of from a mass merchant or “discount” department store, you receive numerous important advantages that will ensure a lifetime of cycling enjoyment.
The benefits of a bike shop purchase. People come in all sizes and need the expert fit bike shops can provide. They ensure that your bike is the right size and adjusted properly just for you. Test rides and follow-up fitting fine-tuning is available, too. The result is easy, efficient and safe cycling and more fun!
Bicycles come in boxes and need to be assembled carefully and properly to be safe, work right and hold up. Outskirts Bike shop bikes are assembled in-store by experienced mechanics, and each is test ridden to ensure proper function and safety. They are then carefully fit to you at the time of purchase. Test rides, tune-ups and instructions assure safe and great rides.
Bicycles sold at Outskirts come with full warranties. And, most problems are resolved in-house. Plus, we stand behind our bikes and products with experienced mechanics and riding experts.
Fuji Bikes are our feature brand but we sell Schwinn, KHS, Marin, Mongoose, GT, SE Racing and others.
So when you are looking for your next bike, remember there is no place like the Outskirts.

Anyone who’s watched television in the last 20 years is probably familiar with the television show Three’s company. This sitcom originated in the last 1970s and featured three fun-loving roommates and a kooky landlord. The opening scene of the show included a part where the roommates were riding a tandem bike. This scene encouraged many Americans try tandem bikes. 

Tandem bikes are quite popular among young kids and couples because of the unique ability to carry more than one rider and with bicycle bag you can carry several items. These bikes can often be rented in beach areas around the country.  Tandem bikes are also a great option for parents who want to teach their child how to ride a bike.
