2011 Nomad, Blade , Elevation by Raleigh

Written by Jaymin Snah | 17th August, 2010

During my visit to SA i have seen some pretty awesome bikes. These are the new product offering from Raleigh for the 2011 range.

We have divided the ranges into 3 distinct categories :

Nomad - Alloy MTB Bikes

Blade - Road Bikes

Elevation  - Steel Frame MTB bikes.

I must say the bikes looks absolutely fantastic. these bikes arrive in India in late September. You can view the catalogs online at www.probike.co.za and pre book your favorite Raleigh

I regret having missed the Independence Day ride on the 15th in Mumbai, Awesome show put up by Anil Uchil, Mahesh and the other cyclists i am told

Cheers!

Rains!!

Written by Jaymin Snah | 9th June, 2010

The most feared of the weather seasons has hit Mumbai. I just hope there are no deluges and the city is not bought to a standstill.

For the brave cyclists who take to the roads suring the rains there is no better time to ride your bike. It is amazing to ride your bike on your way to Lonavala or even Igatpuri. If you are willing tp put in the grind of riding up the Ghats !

Calling out to all the brave souls who are up for a challenge !

Happy rains

Indian Cycling Forums

Written by Jaymin Snah | 8th April, 2010

India is fast turing to a community based cycling country. There are bout 200 odd cycling communities across cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi  Hyderabad

Names such as Powai Riders, Carter Road cyclists , Sobo riders are fast becoming synonymous with Leisure cycling. It is encouraging to see  active cyclists on community forums such as www.cyclists.in and www.bikeszone.com have been active in promoting cycling both as a sport and a leisure activity.

We will be very soon participating in our nd cyclothon after the Mumbai Cyclothon. the next stop is Pune cyclothon!!

Looking forward to ride with the Probike Riders in Pune as well!!

Cheers!

Written by Jaymin Snah | 1st March, 2010

 It has been long since i last updated my blog! I apologise for the inactivity. 

The last 2 months have finally seen the Probike business take baby steps and start trading in India. We have welcomed to the family 30 new cycle dealers, 1800+ new  Raleigh customers across 21 cities in India. 

On behalf of the team at Probike, i would like to thank each one of our dealers and customers who retail our bikes and have bought our bikes. We continue to gather the feedback received from our customers and dealers and are working on incorporating the same in the Probike way of doing business. 

Probike participated in the recently concluded Mumbai Cyclothon. We were a team of 44 cyclists who rode on our Raleigh's and finished the 24km Corporate ride. It was a wonderful event and our cyclists were covered/photographed in DNA newspaper and TV9 which is a reputed TV channel. Our marketing efforts continue with adverts in the Chennai Edition of 'The Hindu' and the Kolhapur City edition of 'Pudhari'

i will keep you all updated on all the latest happenings at Probike and our latest product developments

Cheers

Jaymin
