Fitzgerald’s Joins RRR Leaders Program

This winter the Reduce Reuse Recycle program in Jackson Hole distribuited surveys to help “recognize local businesses working towards a healthy, sustainable economic bottom line while contributing to the health of our community and environment”. We are proud to announce our acceptance into the RRR Leader Program! If you aren’t aware of our efforts in this area here’s an overview:
Fitzgerald’s Bicycles practices RRR by:

- Buying Green Power from LVE
- Using energy efficient florescent bulbs where possible
- Using cleaning agents from the Clean Environment Company
- Working towards a paperless bike shop
- Reusing paper, packing materials, and worn out bike parts whenever possible
- Using bikes for short around town trips
- Recycling paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, metal

No, we’re not doing anything that special. I think that’s the point of the RRR Business Leaders program. We’re here to show you how easy it is to make a difference. Sure, solar panels on the Brew Pub would be nice and if I can find a way to recycle bike tires I’ll let you know. But, in the mean time we do what we can, and so should you.

Fitzgerald’s Joins the Elite

We always knew we were a pretty sweet bike shop, but our largest brand has recently agreed. Jamis announced that Fitzgerald’s Bicycles has joined the ranks of their Elite Dealers. What’s that mean? Basically, we have consistently backed our knowledge of their product with an inventory that represents their entire line while highlighting their high end models. There’s always a lot of hype in the bike industry, but when that fades away Jamis always remains. Come check out all the 2007 models that are in stock NOW!

4 Season Mountain Biking

I know most of you are still unconvinced of the greatness of snow biking on a Surly Pugsley, so I thought it was time for another update. I can’t say I’d be as excited about snow biking if the winter compared to last year, but, SNOW BIKING RULES! This past saturday Chris Ercikson, Dave Byers, and myself rode a 20 mile MOUNTAIN BIKE ride in the Big Holes. How? The regional snowmobile clubs all have hundreds of mile of GROOMED snow mobile trails throughout our various mountain ranges. I’m not talking trails that are packed by snow machines; I mean miles and miles of corduroy laid down by actual groomers. Last week team rider Jay Petervary rode from Togwotee pass to Jackson via the Gros Ventres / Slide lake. The possibilities are endless. How bout a weekend ride through the mountains to Lander? Or maybe just a commute to work on the bike path!
