Athens Bicycle: Home


	First Wheels

	Athens Bicycle will soon add Cannondale bikes to its lineup. Cannondale, one of the first bike companies to work with aluminum frame technology, is known for producing cutting-edge, high-performance, top-end bicycles (both road and mountain). The company started in 1971, when it introduced the cycling industry's first bicycle trailer. In fact, Athens Bicycle owner Peter Kotses spent several of the first years of his life in one of those Cannondale trailers. Many Athenians remember his mom, Grace, carting Pete and his brother Nicholas around the streets of Athens (see above -- Nick's on the left, Pete's on the right). To start this new relationship off with some fun, we'll host Cannondale's demo van Oct. 9 and 11 in Athens. It also will head to Mountwood Park outside of Parkersburg, W.V., on Oct. 10. The van is stocked with road bikes and mountain bikes available for free test rides.
