Going Fast Is One Thing…
Paying attention to the lap count is the other thing… Here’s a little weekend Race Recap from another Factory Rider aboard a Raleigh Team bike. Hey kids, Well this weekend wasn’t exactly what I planned. And by planned, I mean I never planned on coasting through the finish in 9th wheel. I didn’t even take a pedal stroke the whole way up to the line. Let Me Explain. Men’s C Collegiate race “goes off” before they even hit the first turn. Blood, and lots of it…..Hummmm [...] read more

Remember Your First Bike?
I’m constantly amazed at the amount of people who tell me “My first bike was a Raleigh”. Before I can even ask ‘which Raleigh they had’ I’m hearing a complete description of their bike and a great story about it. Every tale ends with a huge smile and look of fond memories in their eye.
