Cannondale Prophet 1 - Cannondale is based in New England, USA. So what? Those who have ridden out there know what that means. Rock-garden riddled singletrack. The Prophet was developed as the antidote and conquers everything else in between as a result. 140 mm of balanced travel and twin triangle construction - the Prophet defines All-Mountain. Adjustable You choose. 69 degree headtube for cross-country or 67.5 degree headtube for light freeride. A quick hit with your 5 mm hex adjusts the swingarm to conform to your riding style or choice of terrain.

| Bike Commuters Rule. We hate to admit it but little 'ol Steamboat Springs has a rush half-hour. It is amazing that this urban concept exists in our mountain community but it does. Lots of folks living on the mountain side drive to town to work and lots of folks who live in town drive to the mountain to work... The result is about 30 minutes of mayhem and traffic around 8 am and again around 5 or 5:30 pm. The good news is people can change. All it takes is that first bike ride to work and the thinking begins to turn. "That wasn't so bad. I believe I will do that again!" Yes! Ski Haus supports all the bike commuters who have parked their cars and trucks, put a leg over their bike, and pedaled to work, the grocery store, to the local pub, or nice evening out with their sweetie. Pedaling, leaving the polluter at home, is very kind thing. Here are some Commuting tips to get you started. - Choose a bike route different from your drive. Your driving route may not be the most effecient bike route. Many times the bike path, a back road, even a few dirt roads or trails, can lead to a stellar ride helping you avoid busy streets and busy intersections. - Leave a change of clothes at work the night before or pick up a quality messenger bag to carry your work clothes and some wet weather riding gear. For messenger bags we recommend Chrome. These are the best riding, most comfortable packs to ride with... - If your workplace doesn't have a locker room or shower facilities, buy some Go Towels, Nathan Power Shower Wipes or even baby wipes to freshen up once are at work. - Ride an efficient bicycle. Use any bike to commute, the old clunker in the shed, the bike you road in high school 20 years ago. It doesn't matter. If you are looking to make your commute easier, consider a cyclocross bike like the Specialized Tricross, or a designed commuter like the Electra Amsterdam. Both of these bikes feature 700c sized wheels that roll smoother and will get you to work with ease and comfort. - If your commute is too long to ride your bike, drive halfway and bike the rest. Park your car at the city limits and ride in from there. Every time you ride your bike you are helping to reduce congestion, air pollution, reduce demand on petroleum products, keep money in your personal budget, and make you happier.
