It’s National Bike to Work Week!

According to the League of American Bicyclists, more than half of the U.S. population lives within five miles of their workplace, making bicycling a feasible and fun way to get to work. With increased interest in healthy, sustainable and economic transportation options, it’s not surprising that, from 2000 to 2011, the number of bicycle commuters in the U.S. grew by more than 47 percent.  Are you part of that 47%?

To celebrate Bike to Work Week, we’ll be blogging daily to bring you all the information you need to make your bike commute easier, safer, and more enjoyable.  Not sure what to wear to beat the weather?  Does carrying all your work stuff on a bike have you scratching your head? Or, are you still thinking about switching from the car to the bike and not quite sure how to make it all work?  You’re in the right place!  Be sure to check back daily!

To kick off the week, we’re bringing you a few smokin’ deals on a some great bikes that would make excellent commuters.  Stop in today for a test ride and start saving money (and feeling better in the process).

We’d Like to Thank The Academy….

A big Thank You to the readers of the Wausau Daily Herald who voted us Wausau’s favorite Outdoor Shop.

We’ve worked hard to earn your trust since 1949, and we remain committed to making our founders proud of our community involvement, customer service, product selection, and shopping environment in downtown Wausau, Wisconsin and online.

Some call us a “Ski Shop”, others a “Bike Shop”, and there are a few who still say “Sporting Goods.”  We’re all that and a whole lot more. And it’s a blast changing our product mix to suit our region’s ever changing tastes along with the demand for our expert product selection and service online.  So stay tuned!

“We would like to thank our mothers, our fathers, the big guy upstairs and all of those who didn’t believe that a little shop in northern Wisconsin could hold it’s own next to the big shops in the big cities for so long.  It made us try harder to believe in ourselves.  We’re going to Disney World!” – The Sheps Crew

Become Part of Shep’s Summer Experience!

Our shop is all about outdoor memories. They’re why we do what we do. They’re why we’ve worked for 65+ years. It’s not just about the skis, the kayak, or the bike. It’s about the fun; the memories, the speed or the calm, the record breaking time, or the laughs with family. We hope you’ll join us as we think back on our favorite outdoor memories, as we dig up the hilarious old photos & bring our old, worn out gear to the shop, all to be put on display.

We want our store to be an experience for you, and it can only be more complete if you get involved with us. Join us in one (or all!) of these three ways and leave your mark in our store this summer.
