Its National Bicycle Month and who better to take a closer look at than American built Shinola bikes!
Shinola was started in 2011 with the idea that products should be quality and made in America. Shinola is proud to be based in Detroit, a community-minded city with a strong manufacturing legacy. The company focuses on watches, bicycles, and leather goods. You might think these are strange together, but people who love watches and people who love bikes tend to go hand in hand. It does not hurt that both items are useful tools and investment items. As for the leather goods, why not? Making watchbands; Shinola should also make bags, wallets, and journals.
Shinola watches are all the craze, people have heard about them and are excited not only to see them, but to finally own one! Well then just wait till people start checking out the bicycles.
Bicycles started selling and shipping for Shinola in December 2012. For any bike lover, this was something exciting, since quality bicycles are now being produced in the United States. A product that is made to last with top of the line materials; attention to detail is important on all Shinolas products.
Shinola started with two models: Runwell and Bixby, and has since added the Detroit Arrow. The bike frames are made by Waterford Precision Cycles.
We are going to talk about the Runwell, since it is the one McCaskill & Company has in the store. The Runwell is inspired by a French Porteur bicycle. What a fun bike! This bicycle gives a smooth ride whether you are using it for leisure or to commute around the city. On a sunny afternoon in Destin, Florida we like to take a ride down the beach coast, with your lunch and a good book safely in the front rack. The Runwell has low-to-no maintenance and is safe in any weather condition. This is just a dream ride!
Stop by McCaskill and Company and check out Shinola today!
