One of the most ambitious retail cycling stores in the United States was launched in Philadelphia in April 2004. Cadence Performance Cycling, which calls itself “The Cultural Capital of the Cycling World,” was recently profiled in Pez Cycling News. Richard Pestes, the founder and publisher of Pez Cycling, wrote the article which includes a number of photos that were in June during the US Pro Cycling Championships.
Cadence Performance Cycling includes an on-site Carmichael Training Systems franchise, where many physiological tests can be performed. They also sell a wide variety of performance-oriented road bikes and accessories, including products from Time, BMC, Wilier Trestina, Argon 18, and Cyfac. It looks like an incredible store.
Everytime I read something about Cadence Performance Cycling, I say to myself, “Oh yea….” Then I feel guilty for a while because this place is practically in my neighborhood, but I’ve yet to take a trip down there myself. Kudos to Pez Cycling for telling the cycling community more about this unique resource.
