We’ve formed a team for Bike MS because we want to experience a great ride and help the National MS Society fund research, advocate for change and help people with MS. We believe in this cause. Can we count on your support?

Bike MS is a physical challenge for cyclists of every level, but it’s so much more than just a ride.  The camaraderie, passion, and memories that come from sharing this experience with our team will stay with us for a lifetime.  Bike MS is both a weekend-long and LIFE-long opportunity to make a difference in your own life, and in the world.  It’s a group effort that transcends personal accomplishment and touches the lives of the thousands of people affected by MS in our community.  Join us!  It’s more than a ride- it’s Bike MS.

About MS

Millions of people are affected by MS and the challenges of living with its unpredictable symptoms. Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body and it stops people from moving. Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with MS, a disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS.

Join our team!

Joining our team means you support critical funds to support local programs and cutting-edge research. Your donation puts us closer to realizing our promise to STOP MS in its tracks, RESTORE lost function and END MS forever. Ending MS means no one will receive an MS diagnosis again. Every dollar helps. Every connection matters.

Steeped in Tradition. Won With Innovation.

The drama, excitement, and heritage of the European classics are upon us. Sacred races held during a special time of year, when our performance road bikes—the Venge, the Tarmac, and the Roubaix—are unleashed upon the battlefields for which they were built. These same weapons, ridden with authority and raced to victory by the world’s best pros, are available for your own epic battles. Bikes made in racing, so you can win on any terrain.

Take a closer look at the first three monuments of the cycling season, and how Specialized road racing bikes are specifically tailored to the extreme demands of each.

Venge. More Bike Than Aero

The VENGE is a pure-science mind wrapped in a lay-down-the-law body. With a one-two punch of Shiv-inspired aerodynamics and Tarmac-borne stiffness, this machine was born to fly. With multiple World Tour victories under its belt, the FACT IS 11r carbon frame and supreme handling delivers the winning formula of light weight, stiff and aero. With a measured 22 watts of free power at 40km/hr over the Tarmac SL3, it’s tailor-made for serious performers who like to crush competitors’ dreams and break spirits into tiny pieces.

Tarmac. Nothing Is Lighter and Stiffer.

With its race-optimized, FACT IS carbon frame, efficient handling, and increased 19% stiffness-to-weight ratio over the previous Tour de France-winning version, the TARMAC SL4 has plenty of Pro-Tour proven speed up its sleeve. Simply put: nothing is lighter and stiffer. That’s why it’s the go-to choice of the pro peloton. Ride it hard, ride it fast, just wind yourself up and go.

Roubaix. Smoother Is Faster.

When called to arms, the multi-classic winning ROUBAIX reacts as though simply an extension of mind and body. Pros like Tom Boonen—who rode his Roubaix to a record equaling 4th Paris-Roubaix victory this year—count on its smooth ride and responsive handling to get the job done. With size-specific engineering and a frame that delivers the best balance of vertical compliance, low weight, and torsional stiffness, riders of all sizes can experience the same ride quality and performance as Boonen.

Ruby. Smoother Is Faster.

Nothing makes this bike happier than going long. With its FACT carbon frame—built with endurance in mind—the RUBY delivers confident handling and a comfortable, fatigue-free ride, making it the perfect choice for Gran Fondos, training rides, or weekend adventures out of town and into the hills. Climbing, going fast, or going long, the Ruby responds in a way that inspires confidence, and with her refined aesthetics, she looks good doing it.

Amira. Nothing Is Lighter & Stiffer.

The AMIRA is a no-nonsense thoroughbred—born to race and always quick to react. Its stiff, lightweight SL4 frame cranks up the speed dial for fast accelerations, while the tapered headtube delivers precise steering and handling for carving corners or dominating tricky descents. The Amira is the race bike of choice for Team Specialized-lululemon and has taken impressive victories at the Tour of Qatar and La Flèche Wallonne Féminine this season. Whether you’re bridging a gap or creating one, the Amira will fly.

Join us Sunday mornings at 10am for a fully supported mountain bike demo ride. You will ride in the Cynergy Team van with Cynergy ride leaders to local Santa Monica trails. Mtn Bikes, protective gear, a souvenir Cynergy water bottle, and nutritional products such as hydration drinks and energy bars provided for a fee of only $20. Call Mark at the store for full details and to reserve your bike. 310 857-1500 (All demo bikes have flat style pedals. If you want to use your own SPD clipless style pedals just bring them with you and we will install them)

We will be raffling off 4 Specialized kids bikes in the Kids Zone, come by and say hi!
