A year later Flywheel added a bar complete with local beer on tap, as well as other beverages and minor snacks. With this new addition, Flywheel evolved from a retail and service location to a social hub and community destination. Read more

I was on my way driving from Seattle to Novato, CA to ride in Jens Voigt's Gran Fondo. My Tarmac S-Works Di2 front derailer had some unresolved alignment issues. On my layover in Medford OR I saw that there was a cycle shop nearby, Flywheel Bicycle Solutions in Talent OR. I dropped by the shop and left my bike with my new favorite mechanic, Ian. He went out of his way to resolve a difficult to troubleshoot issue and sent me away a very happy cyclist. Almost hugged him on the way out the door. Yes there is talent in Talent OR.

and buy a bile and ride it extra far...that way you are riding for you and me.
