Romantic Ideas for Valentine’s Day Maui Bike Ride

Soon after arriving at the bike shop in Lahaina (West Maui Cycles) and beginning the day getting a few island bike rentals out to riders picking up bikes, I answered a phone call. The caller arrives on Maui this Saturday and is planning a few bike rides during her Maui bicycle vacation. Being an avid road bike rider, she had already made her online bike rental reservation for our Specialized Performance Road bike rental to enjoy a week of bike touring on Maui. She suddenly realized she’ll be here over Valentine’s Day and had not planned on riding with her fiancé. Now, she wanted to spend Valentine’s day with her fiancé and was calling to inquire if we rent bikes suitable for an inexperienced bike rider in good condition. She also asked if I had any good ideas for fun bike rides on Maui, where she and her fiancé could enjoy a romantic valentines day togethor touring Maui by bicycle.

I thought for about a half a second before recommending she rent our Electra HellBetty tandem cruiser for a morning of leisurely riding in Lahaina. Since their accommodations are in Kaanapali, the bike shop in Lahaina will be easy to get to and a good point to begin their day of bike riding on Maui after picking up their rental bike. I suggested riding the Electra HellBetty tandem into Lahaina Town for a leisurely cruise on Front Street followed by a mid-morning breakfast at one of the charming restaurants in Lahaina. Since we include a lock with our bike rentals, it will be easy to secure the bike rental while enjoying breakfast. After exploring Lahaina by bicycle, they’ll come back to the bike shop to pick up a couple Specialized Hybrid comfort bike rentals. For the second half of their fun day of bike riding on Maui, I suggested the Lahaina to Olowalu Petroglyphs bike ride. The bike ride to the Olowalu petroglyph is approximately 6.3 miles and another mile or so of easy off road trail riding to and from the petroglyph. I recommended a stop for lunch at Leoda’s Sandwich and Pie Shop in Olowalu before returning to the bike shop to drop off their hybrid bike rentals in Lahaina.

Sacred Hearts Bazaar Gets Electra Bike Donation from Maui Bike Shop

Even after being in the Maui bicycle business for more than 20 years, our West Maui bike shop never tires of giving back to the community by participating in various local fundraising events or extending discounts to those serving our local community. Raising a family of our own on Maui, we understand the challenges local families face and know how important it is for local businesses to participate in the Maui community. As locally owned family bicycle shop, West Maui Cycles continues to be involved and give back whenever possible. One such opportunity presented itself last weekend when we were able to help Sacred Hearts School in Lahaina with their annual fund raising bazaar.

This year was the 41st Annual Sacred Hearts Bazaar! The community event has become a fun local tradition for the entire community as the 150 year old Lahaina school count on the two day event to supply funding for many for their student activities and very worthwhile educational programs. This year, the annual Sacred Hearts Bazaar was held on Friday and Saturday, March 1st and 2cnd. In addition to supplying two Electra Bike beach cruisers for the charity auction, we also converted our mobile bike shop into a popup shaved iced station. The shaved ice stand was staffed by West Maui Cycles owners and employees with proceeds contributed to the event. The shave ice station was set up in the school courtyard for revelers to enjoy while playing the traditional carnival games. Everyone had a great time and our bike shop is honored to contribute to the school and this very worthwhile family fun event in Lahaina! Mahalo for the opportunity.

Donating bicycles for the 2013 Sacred Hearts charity auction and supplying the shaved ice station are just a couple ways we participate in the Maui community. Throughout the year, we help our local fireman, police, lifeguards and other Maui County First Responders stay in shape for the rigors of their difficult physical jobs by extending a 15% discount at our bike store in Lahaina. And, we are always happy to see one of the TS restaurants employees in our bike shop being rewarded for their hard work with a 10% discount at West Maui Cycles. TS Restaurants employees at Hula Grill and Leilanis on Kaanapali beach as well as those working at Duke’s Beach House in the Honua Kai Resort on Kaanapali North Beach or Kimo's restaurant in Lahaina are eligible for the discount at West Maui Cycles. Have a business on Maui and looking for ways to give your employees an incentive to stay in shape? Get in touch with us and we’ll work with you to figure out a way to give your employees a break on their Maui bike gear! We love giving back to our local Maui community. Thanks for the more than 20 years of continued support for our family owned Maui bike shop! Your continued support will keep us around for another 20 years.
