Braun’s has been Selling and Servicing Bicycles in Kitchener, Ontario for 86 years.

Over these past 86 years our Kitchener Store has moved a total of 3 times and has been located at 4 different locations all within beautiful downtown Kitchener.  Now for the past 25 years, we’ve been located at our present location at 27 Scott Street.  Each time that we have moved, we reconfigured our Kitchener bike business to be in a better position to give us the resources needed to better serve you, our customers in bigger and better ways.  Each time we were looking ahead to the years to come.

Well 2011 is no different!

This last week we listed our Kitchener Property for sale to prepare for the next stage in Braun’s growth in Kitchener.  During this time you will notice NO CHANGES in anything that we do.  The only difference is the real estate sign posted on the front of the Scott St building.  These are exciting times for us.  We will be moving in 2012 to a new location which will help our Kitchener staff to better serve our growing customer base.

At this time we are not releasing the new location.  We will in this blog, when we get closer to the time.

Some of the features that we are working on for our new 2012 Kitchener location are as follows:

• Sales, Service and Storage all on the same level
• A much more open and animated service department
• Access to our backup bike inventory for customers
• We will be expanding our museum of Bike History, adding new sections
• The building will be aesthetically configured more in keeping with our 86 years of history
• Future Plans will likely include on site alternate energy generation
• Easy access to Kitchener’s trail systems
• Easy access to the Region of Waterloo’s Rapid Transit System
• Enhanced inventory transfers between Kitchener & Guelph stores
• New product categories
• and lots of other great cycling ideas

Even though the Bicycle Trade Association of Canada has ranked us as the 5th oldest bicycle store in Canada, and one of the few still involving the founding family, we can NOT be complacent.  Just because our Kitchener Store has worked great these last 25 years doesn’t mean we keep going along the same old way. 

In 2012 Braun’s Kitchener Store will be taking it to the next level and re-inventing itself.  We trust that you our valuable customers will be excited by all our new capabilities and as thrilled as we are.

Thanks and keep tuned to this blog for future details!

Saturday April 30, 2011

10am & 2pm

That’s right! – Bring your helmet and your cycling shoes and plan on spending an hour or so out on the latest in Bicycling Technology dream bike.  Argon18 will have their fleet of test ride bikes here at Braun’s Kitchener Store.  But you must pre-book your ride time .

The 2011 Fleet of  Argon18 Test Bikes consists of both the Gallium Pro and E-114  all equiped with Shimano Dura Ace - in various sizes.  The idea is to hit the road with Dominique who manages the Argon18 demo fleet and enjoy a real ride, on an awesome bike and learn about what makes the Argon18 Bikes so special.

There will be two rides on SaturdayApril 30th.  First at 10am and again at 2pm.  We want to get all the bikes out on the road each time out, so it is really important to book your test ride in advance.  We will be booking them on a first come basis.  There is also only a limited amount of each sized bike.

Pat is doing all of the bookings for this.  So either email Pat at  kitchener@brauns.com or phone the Kitchener Store 519-579-2453 ext #1 followed by another 1 and ask to book an Argon18 test ride.

This only happens once a year, as this fleet of Argon18 is travelling the country.  Their next stop is Kingston Ontario.

There will be 10 Gallium Pro Dura Ace bikes (pictured above)
1 * XXS
2 * XS
2 * S
3 * M
2 * L

There will be 4 E-114 Dura Ace equiped bikes (pictured above)
XS
S
M
L

Some Details:

Each Rider will be required to bring their own:

• Helmet
• Shoes
• Pedals
• What you use for hydration (bottle, camelbak)
• and of course your riding gear

Riders must be 18 years or older.

Each rider must follow the rules of the road.

Please be at the Kitchener Store 1/2 hour prior to your riding time, changed and ready to ride.

Please be careful – you may fall in love!

Any questions – ask Pat.

Don’t miss out.  This is an amazing opportunity to really find out what a top end Pro Bicycle feels like on our roads.

Thanks Argon18 for this rare treat!

I jump out of bed.  I’m going to be late for work!  Wait – It’s Canada Day.  No work, it’s my day to enjoy being a Canadian.  OK, Yes, lets go biking.  An hour later I have son Aaron and his friend Jordan ready to hit the pavement for a ride through the streets and roads of our amazing Region of Waterloo, Ontario. 

Tires pumped, water bottles filled (yes Jordan you must take water with you), helmets, gloves, sunglasses on and we are ready to hit the streets.  Today, being Canada Day, we decide to start riding from our driveway and just point our front wheels in any direction and see where in or out of  our fine community we end up at.

The weather is absolutely perfect.  The temperature is a cool 17C and it is clear with a few white clouds in the sky.  What a day to be outside.  This is my first ride with my new Continental GP 4000 Force & Attack tires.  I pump the front Attacks up to 110psi and the rear Force up to 116psi.  WOW, I am amazed at how smooth the ride is.  I feel like I am almost floating.  Oh well don’t tell Aaron or Jordan, I need as much of an advantage over these two young bucks as I can get.  They will have me hurting soon enough.

So we find our selves heading away from Kitchener towards Waterloo and the thought hits me,  “We have turned down how many different roads today without even a thought or concern about our safety or whether we are at risk.  How fortunate we are. This being Canada Day, how can we not think about  Canada’s finest men and women serving in Afghanistan who can’t go anywhere without a real concern about their safety on the roads over there.  Do we truly appreciate how good we have it here in our great country of Canada!

Thank You to our fine men and women of  the military who serve us and the world so bravely, so that we can work, play and yes, even ride without a care as we go about our community in the best country in the World .  Tonight, we all should remember them and their families  in our prayers.

Every time I’m out riding I am amazed again at how much one really misses when we travel by car.  It is refreshing how really beautiful our communities are and how easy it is to enjoy and experience this when we travel by bike.  The amount of wildlife can be great to see.  Birds, little ground creatures and even an abundance of groundhogs.

A great day, a great country and a great time with my son and friend.  Isn’t this one of the important reasons why we work so hard all the other days?

Happy Canada Day!

Robert

The City of Kitchener in Ontario, Canada is developing a Cycling Master Plan with the ultimate goal of creating policies, programs, design standards and infrastructure that support and promote both recreational and commuter cycling.

A meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 in the Rotunda at City Hall in downtown Kitchener, Ontario to present the proposed cycling network and policies that will be included in the Cycling Master Plan.  Participants can view the proposed facility types, summaries of previous consultations and maps of the proposed cycling net work.

The draft master plan will be presented to the City Council in June for their approval.

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

If  you have a cycling event to be announced, let us know, and we’ll do our best to get the word out for you.

I can’t believe that today is THE day!  Finally she is here.  Tonight after work, I can finally take my new steed home.  I have planned, I have executed, I have waited, it is finally done.  My new Rocky Mountain bicycle is now MINE.  She is here, built and ready.

I can almost see her shiver in anticipation.  What sleek lines.   Doesn’t her carbon fibre look amazing, shimmering in the sunlight.  The weave of the fibre underneath the resin.  As someone who always has hated a white coloured bicycle, I can’t believe that the white paint actually looks great.  (Yes it was me who said that a white bike actually looks good)  I guess that the Monocoque High Modulus carbon fibre rear stays can make any paint job look world class.

This year my new bike is a Rocky Mountain Prestige 70CR.  Equiped with a combination of Shimano DuraAce and Ultegra components, along with many weight reducing upgrades.  The Carbon FSA crankset – stiff and very light.  The Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels spin real fine.  I prefer to use Look Arc carbon pedals, since they are about the lightest road pedal out there.

My carbon fibre FSA stem is quite light.  It’s sitting on top of 4 carbon fibre FSA stem spacers.  Of course I use my Terry titanium rail Butterfly leather saddle.  We’ve seen many a pain-free km together the last couple of years.  Add 2 Tacx water cages and a Blackburn micro high pressure pump and I’m ready.

All I need to do is get home, fill my waterbottles, strap on my cycling shoes and snap on my helmet.  Lets go!

Wait -  NOOOOOOO

I don’t know where I put my cycling shoes and my helmet after last season.

For the last few years we have needed to install  motor kits onto adult tricycles in order to provide an electric trike for our customers who wanted to remain active, wanted the stability of a tricycle and wanted that extra boost that a motor provides.

For many adult tricycle riders electric assistance is a feature that they would like to have and will make them more mobile. 

Finally we have an all in one solution.  The new BELIZE Tri-Rider “Elek-trike” will meet their needs.  The rider will have the freedom to travel far further than on a regular trike and still be able to pedal for exercise. It cruises at 8-10mph and with some pedal assistance will go for over 20 miles.

Built very solidly it has a heavy duty 450 Watt – 24V rear drive system and long lasting 20 ampere sealed batteries. The Tri-Rider “Elek-trike” is not a kit but a complete high quality electric tricycle. Designed and built as a complete electrical unit.  Easy to maintain.

It comes equipped with fenders, basket, front and rear brakes, key switch, battery meter and smart charger. SIZE: W-30″, L-69″, H-42″ (H-38″ with handlebar rotated down).

Available in Red or Blue.  The rear motor is operated with a thumb throttle.  The included battery charger has a light indicator to let you know when it is fully recharged. Recharging the battery packs usually takes several hours depending upon how drained they become.

The BELIZE Tri-Rider Elek-trike is priced at $1699.98 Cdn – built ready to ride.  Also we ship stuff almost anywhere, so the trike is also available in a box to ship.  (of course, shipping and assembly at the receiving end will be extra)

An optional Backrest is available ($69.98 Cdn) which is made of all alloy construction, has easy installation and adjustability, high quality,sturdy and very comfortable, a great accessory for any adult trike.

Yes we have, and it is because we have the Bike Industry’s BEST STAFF.  No really – I’m not just saying it – I mean it.  They really are.  Our Guys and Gals love riding their bikes.  They enjoy meeting and helping people.  They really are great to be around.  At Braun’s we are fortunate to have them.  But we aren’t the only ones who think so.  Because of our staff, Braun’s has won over 40 customer service awards over the last many years.

That’s a lot of awards.  Are we ever grateful too.  Read over this list of awards and see if you don’t agree with me that Braun’s has the BEST staff in the bike industry.
