CARLSBAD, CA 27.9.2018 – Canyon USA, the American division of one of the world's most innovative bicycle companies, Germany's Canyon Bicycles GmbH, officially opened their Carlsbad, CA showroom this past weekend. Over 1500 cyclists and their friends attended an all-day event that included two rides with over 300 cyclists, music, food and drink, and an expo area with 20 industry vendors.
"Roman Arnold started Canyon for his passion to inspire riders to ride so that they can experience the sense of freedom and exhilaration that you get from cycling," said Blair Clark, President of Canyon USA. "A few weeks ago, we announced our showroom Grand Opening party and the response truly shows how much we are a part of both the local community and the cycling industry. With live music, free coffee, free beer, a bike and an accessories raffle, it was a wonderful celebration of Pure Cycling. The local cycling community, particularly the Coureur Team and Ranchos Club, were tremendously helpful. As CEO and Founder Roman said at the party, our Canyon USA team has helped make a dream come true by making Canyon a truly global brand."
