Cape Bicycle Cycling & Fitness is definitely the first choice for those interested in bicycle and fitness equipment.

Eric and Jean Gooden stock hundreds of great bicycles from Giant, Schwinn, Haro, Cannondale and Specialized. For those who want to exercise indoors, check out the Schwinn exercise equipment, including the Air Dyne exercise bikes, steppers and electronic exercise bike with programs and electromagnetic braking.

TRUE Treadmills were rated No. 1 in the areas of cushioning and quietness. TRUE Treadmills are manufactured in Missouri. New to Cape Bicycle is TRUE's core drive elliptical cross trainers. People who are just beginning an exercise regimen as well as taller or shorter users may not be as comfortable on a fixed-stride elliptical machine, so TRUE's new machine can adjust from an 17-inch to a 26-inch stride.

Cape Bicycle began in 1978 on South Spanish Street in downtown Cape Girardeau. In 1986, the company moved into a larger building on Broadway and then, in 1994, relocated to the present location at 2410 William St., across from Applebee's.

Eric says the most important aspect of the business is "personal attention from our staff. We have the best quality products, but just as important as having quality products is making sure that the customers are fitted correctly and instructed on proper usage."
