I have fond memories of bicycles - and a very bitter one, too. When I was a child I had a green customized mountain bike (the seat of which was too high for me) that became the object of envy of many kids in our neighborhood. I rode it every day and everywhere: to school, to my friends' house, to the public park, to the cheap diner where they sold flame-broiled burgers. One afternoon, I left the bike outside our front door and went inside the house to get myself some orange juice. The next minute my bike was gone. I cried many days and many nights as though I lost a great friend. Now, after having recently discovered a great set of Makai Bikes coupon codes, I am about to put all that childhood bitterness behind and get myself a new bike that should replace the long-lost one.
First, a word about Makai Bikes. Makai Bikes is an Internet-based bike store based in Redondo Beach, California (where lots of people, I'm sure, know more than a thing or two about bikes) and which was originally founded in Hermosa Beach. The company name was derived from the Hawaiian "makai", which literally translates to "toward the ocean". This phrase inspired Makai Bikes' great selection of beach cruiser bikes, as well as of other cool and fun kinds of bikes, bike accessories (like bells and horns), equipment, and even bike fashion (we're talking ultra-cool sunglasses). The company caters to a market of people who are into active, urban, and beach lifestyles, thus upping up the excitement notch from your usual newspaper boy's bike business. As the founders of Makai Bikes so aptly put it, "We thought we could use some 'Aloha' in our business."
The great thing about Makai Bikes is that the store offers competitive prices for its impressive selection of bikes and bike-related products. Should these prices still not be cheap enough for you, then there are alwayscoupon codes and sports and outdoors promo codes that you can use in order to make even bigger savings from your bike purchase. Being an online store, Makai Bikes ships to all 48 states - and directly, too, so that middlemen are cut out and there'd be no hassle for you. After all, if you're going to be buying a bike, driving all around town to look for one sort of goes against the whole idea: it can't be fun.
Beach cruisers, comfort bikes, folding bikes, mountain bikes, kids' bikes, men's and women's beach cruisers, and tandem bikes, among many others: the list of what you can find at Makai Bikes runs long. Accessories include axle pegs, bags, baskets, breaks, grips, helmets, horns, lights, mirrors, pedals, saddles, seat covers, tires, and even trailers and water bottles. If you want to look cool and comfortable while riding, cycling sunglasses are also available.
So to the kid who stole my green mountain bike of my childhood: I still have the last laugh. I found just the store that meets my grown-up biking impulses, and even better, I haveMakai Bikes coupon codes to go with it.
