Team Kyle’s Bike Shop
Our cycling team, Hourglass Cycling, has joined forces with Team Kyle’s Bike Shop (Team KBS) effective January 2015.
Club leaders met with Kyle Markel, owner of Kyle’s Bike Shop, several times over the last half of 2014. These meetings with Markel resulted in the merger. “It’s my goal to enable the Orlando Runners and Riders (ORR) to remain a separate group but allow them all the benefits of being part of our team.” Markel said. “I guess you could say they will be a division within Team KBS.”
Every effort has been made to smooth the transition for ORR / Hourglass Cycling team members.
How does this affect our USA Cycling team? In several, positive ways:
- Continues our relationship with Giant Bicycles and Werxx Cycling, affording large discounts
- Opens up several new sponsors to us, such as Fizzik, Continental, Osmo, etc
- Opens up many training opportunities with Team KBS and their expert trainers
- Since Team KBS was one of the leading teams in the state, point wise, it offers recognition
- Since we will be wearing the Mumu Apparel Team KBS jersey with our logos added, it makes the jersey order much simpler
- Most of all, we get to ride with some great people!
All of our sponsors are on board with this change, so we thank Hourglass PC, PEO Pros, Giant Bicycles and Werxx Cycling for their continued support.
Team KBS recently rode along with the Rabobank/Liv UCI Team on a training ride.
