    BRLN 01-1

    After meeting thousands of women who ride, The Bike Rack knows that everyone who comes into the store will be set up in the saddle a little differently. Their stores, in Omaha and Lincoln, carry the largest selection of bikes and accessories in the Midwest so that they are better able to help women find their dream bikes and the perfect gear.

    The goal at Bike Rack is to create a comfortable shop environment that supports all women who want to learn about cycling, advocacy and events in the community, in addition to offering the best bicycles in the area. At this shop, it’s about the experience of freedom, friendship and empowerment that cycling brings. “If we do our jobs right, the only thing you’ll be thinking of as you roll down the road is, “WHEEEEEEE!”

    Why do you think women choose to shop at your store?
    We have the best customer service in our service departments and on our sales floors. We make it easy to get out and ride!

    Why do you sell Terry?
    Terry is a company that supports female cyclists in the saddle and out, which means it is easier for us to help women ride comfortably, safely and beautifully. We sell Terry because women love Terry – it’s an absolute favorite in our shop.

    When a new-to-cycling women comes in, what’s the first thing you tell her about cycling?
    Welcome to the greatest community on the planet!
