New Jersey Design
Check this out. We designed our first jersey set so that we can wear them in the Tour de Palm Springs next month. We rushed this one since we decided late last night to do it and our manufacturer goes on vacation next week. It is my opinion that it turned out better than I thought it would, given the time constraints and rough idea we gave them. I send them the basic design idea and logo's around 9pm and by 12:30am all the revisions were completed and I was able to give them approval to make them.
This is just an example of what we/our design team can produce for individuals, clubs, groups, teams, and events. Obviously, the quantity ordered changes the pricing but our prices are really reasonable considering the quality of material and design and what others charge. In most cases, this set would cost someone maybe $150. That is what the Tour de Palm Springs is charging for their jersey and bib shorts. That's not counting $15-25 for arm warmers. We can kill those prices. We have a design team that can take your ideas and put them on fabric. We would be more than happy to quote you on jerseys. Feel free to give us a call.

Types of Riding
As I sit here thinking about what I should write without making my wife squirm, the thoughts of being on my bike enter my mind. I have often thought about the different riders I see as I drive or ride around. I often wonder why they do it. I have seen those that do it because they enjoy the fresh air and ride as if they are in slow motion taking in every ounce of sunlight and observing everything around them. I have seen that poor guy on his bike that hasn't got the memo to shift gears so he is pedaling at 150 RPMs and only going 5 MPH or he's pedaling at 30 RPMs and only going up the hill at 3 MPH. Someone please teach him to shift gears according to the terrain. I have seen those that use their bikes as a means of getting from point A to point B. I have seen those that have seriously customized their bikes so that they look cool or I kind of gather that in some cases they stripped another bike to get this one working. I have seen the old couple riding together in town that always seem happy with their Townie bikes (they look pretty comfortable). I have seen those that sport nice gear and expensive bikes, but upon further review you realize it's all show and no go. Then there are those that are using it as a means of exercise riding a bike that worked for them 10 years ago and the poor bike really needs some lovin'. They ride with a fierce look of determination as beads of sweat sail off their face. Then there are those that ride because they are competitive and have this personal best taunting them. They ride all the time and know exactly how far various markers and stretches are throughout their loop. They know the average time and speed it takes for them to ride through each part. They analyze each ride to figure out where they lost time and where they may have made up time.
Although there are different motivations, clothing, equipment it is safe to say that deep down inside we all love riding bikes. For most, we learned to ride as children and often times learned the hard way. As we got older we lost that zeal for riding and in some cases got fat and or lazy. By the time we got older we became self conscious, worried that we don't have the right gear, the right clothes or we might not ride that well. Get over yourself and get on a bike. Borrow, buy, commadear one, but get off the couch and ride. It helps you to feel better, increases your heart rate, I am sure we all want to sport some super tight spandex that we otherwise would never even consider putting on. In fact, very few of us look at that sexy in it. We are hoping to get more to ride with us on the weekends. Most Saturday mornings we ride on the southeast corner of Moreno Valley and often times through Lake Perris. The speed, participants and distance vary depending on who is with us and their abilities.
Come particpate and ride with us. We can ride with all different abiltiy levels. Let us know if your interested.
Thanks for checking us out.

Welcome to Our Blog
Thanks for checking out our blog. This is our first attempt at blogging so please be patient.
We started with an idea several months ago and are on the verge of seeing it all come together. We have ridden together for a few years and participated in several triathlons. We were frustrated with the lack of shops that supported triathletes in our area and decided to do something about it. Our solution was to start our own bike company to fill the void. The plan for Threshold Cycle is to focus on bikes, gear and apparel for cyclists and triathletes. In meeting that need, we have become authorized dealers for Argon 18 bikes, Fuel Belt and are in the process of working things out with TYR, and Kestrel. We are in talks to provide custom jerseys, shorts and arm warmers for 4K for cancer ride this year. We hope to develop a long lasting partnership where we support their apparel and gear needs. Check out their website - http://cycleinspireunite.org/ . We are thrilled with the opportunity to work with them.
If there are swim teams looking for swim gear, equipment, parkas, goggles let us know. We are willing to offer great prices on TYR gear, especially for teams when in our local area.
If you are looking for custom cycle jerseys, shorts, long sleeve jerseys, pants, or arm warmers let us know. We have developed a great relationship with the manufacturer and are able to provide top quality with amazing looks and pricing. They have a design team that can start from scratch or they can take an existing design or idea and replicate it. We can get any quantity, but obviously the more you order the better the price.
We are also in talks to help sponsor some of the local triathlons.
Our website will be up shortly. www.thresholdcycle.com
We appreciate those that have shown their support and excitement as we have worked on things. You can find us on Facebook, feel free to follow us there and become our friend. We offer our Facebook friends special savings.
Thanks again,
Jeff
