"We Support a Community in Motion"

Raffle to win a Trek Bicycle and Lance Armstrong's John Hancock!

Is that Lance at the Indy 500?

I guess racing is racing.

Stop by High Gear for your chance to win.

All money raised will go to the LiveStrong Foundation.

All of us at Highgear Bicycle Store of Omaha are proud to announce the raffling of a Trek 1500 bicycle signed by Lance Armstrong and Indy Car driver, P.J. Chesson. The bike was used in the Race to Replace, in which hundreds of amateur cyclists competed to be the newest team member of the Discovery Channel team. This bike is currently located in our Kansas City store and will be raffled within all four stores.

At the Race to Replace amateur cycling hopefuls raced around the Indianapolis 500 race track to win a spot on the Discovery Channel team. Both Armstrong and Chesson signed the frame of the Trek bike. Raffle tickets for the bike will be sold at all four Midwest stores until December 31, 2006. The raffle tickets will be sold at $5 each, or $20 for 5 tickets. All proceeds from the raffle will go to the LiveStrong Foundation. The winning ticket will be drawn on January 1, 2007.

Starting November 1st all purchases at High Gear over $350 will receive one FREE raffle ticket.

This offer is good thru December 31st.

This is the actual bike you can win. If you are in the Kansas City area stop by the store and see what you can win.

We're going to look at some of the winter items like jackets, tights, gloves, and booties. Doug can answer your questions about Pearl Izumi products and if we're lucky he might give us a sneak peek at some products for the spring!

Warm Piglets

When planning the winter wardrobe the Lake MXZ 301's are a must.

-BOA mechanical closure system-
-Pittard's WR100 leather-
-Outlast temperature-regulating liner-
-3m Thinsulate toe box lining-
-Thermosol composite insole-
-Alpine outside-

Mudstuds and adapter for flat pedals/trekking
The Outlast temperature regulating lining, 3M Thinsulate lining in toe box, and Thermosol wool insole make this winter shoe work great in temperatures from 5-50F.

Stop by soon and find the size that works the best. When choosing sizes think about what winter socks you would be wearing. Going up one size from your summer shoes work well. These Lake shoes tend sell out from our distributor mid December.

$235 and warm piglets are in your future. These shoes last for years.

Our models only look cool, they are actually quite warm

Look, over there, the cold weather is coming.

Fall can be the best time to ride, if you have the right clothing. Stop in the shop today to check our winter clothing from Pearl izumi, Trek, Nike, and more. There are many types of clothing for cool weather riding, we would be happy to answer any questions you might have about what clothing is right for you.
