Over the past 14 years, we have been lucky enough to have you as our clients. It has been a pleasure serving you and your families. From all of us at Signature Cycles, we wanted to wish you a happy Thanksgiving and a happy holiday season.
As a special Thank You, we invite you to our Manhattan and Greenwich studios this Saturday, November 30th – Small Business Saturday. Our staff will lead a group ride from both our studios. After the ride, join us back at our studios for light refreshments and a special “Small Business Saturday” discount on ALL apparel, plus a special gift to say thanks for braving the cold with us.
Details of the rides from each studio are as follows:
Manhattan:
Shop ride will meet at 8:15 and depart at 8:30am from our 80 West End Ave location. We will ride 3 or 4 loops of Central Park (total 19-25 miles) and return to our studio. This will be a casually paced ride, all skill levels are welcome. Exact distance will be determined by the weather and your request.

Signature Cycles partnered with World Bicycle Relief and set the goal to provide 100 specifically engineered, culturally appropriate bikes to a school in Zambia, Africa. Because of your generosity, our fundraising effort was the most successful in World Bicycle Relief’s history. The $34,775 we raised will provide 261 bicycles to the community in Zambia, and will change the lives of so many through the power of the bicycle.
Our events were truly a spectacular success. Thank you for opening up your hearts and wallets for such a worthy cause. We will keep our fundraising site open through the end of this week with a hope to inspire those who might have missed the events to help us break the $40,000.00 ceiling.
World Bicycle Relief’s FK Day speaking about how time spent in Africa changed him dramatically, and prompted the founding of WBR.

Assos S5 generation bibshorts, now on sale until they’re gone!
Fall is in full swing here in NYC. Thoughts of bare-kneed riding are a distant memory as I check my phone’s weather app to see today’s high: 55 degrees. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful weekend. October and November are my favorite riding months here in New York and Connecticut. Aero-race gear is replaced by fenders and trusty hand-built wheels. Cyclocross and gravel grinding bikes begin to appear on the roads equipped with 25 and 28mm tires. Best of all, those extra 5 pounds of “winter weight” become a socially acceptable accessory.
With the weather change, I am constantly reminded of that Golden Rule: “There is no bad weather, just bad equipment.” For many of us, it’s difficult to justify a good pair of winter tights, as compared to a new gadget for our bikes. However, investing in your cold weather gear will ensure a great riding experience for years to come. Here, we offer some of our trusted favorites and also some of the latest, groundbreaking cold weather innovations.
