Cash for clunkers applies to bikes

WINDSOR, Ont. -- It’s a new approach to economic stimulus: pedal power.

Windsor bicycle store Maximum Edge has seized upon the current economic zeitgeist and is offering its own cash-for-clunkers program.

“There’s all the media hype and the frenzy for cash for clunkers,” said manager Jaime Kasurak. “We’re just trying to ride on the coattails of all that.”

The promotion allows cyclists to bring in old bikes, regardless of the condition, and get 30 per cent off the price of a new one. Kasurak said the shop, on County Road 42 just east of the airport entrance, has more than 100 bikes.

Prices start around $350 and go up from there. ........(more)

1. People in this town have no excuse for driving around everywhere they go in town!

Way more people ought to be riding bikes for in town jaunts. It really pisses me off!! We're going to have to undergo some considerable change eventually...

Sorry: semi-offtopic, just got me thinkin...

3. Unlike the Four- wheel version the clunkers get donated to charity

Seems like a very decent shop owner.

If I lived in Windsor I'd give him some business.
