the store
Back in 2000, John Palmquist was racing and riding in Boca Raton while attending college. He noticed that there were no cycling shops where he could get high-end equipment, specialized parts, and great service.
So, from his dorm room, he started The Racer's Edge. His philosophy from the very beginning is to provide the best service, give great advice, and to stock what people need and charge less than retail.
The Racer's Edge has quickly became the place to come for the best fit, the best service, and the latest and best equipment.
Stop in and pull up a stool. This is you neighborhood shop! |
