Industry association Triathlon America has issued a release welcoming some new members to the growing body of triathlon industry companies in its ranks:
TriBike Transport
TriBike Transport introduced a revolutionary service in 2005 to help triathletes transport their bikes to destination events. Athletes can now simply drop off their bikes at one of over 80 partner shops nationwide and TriBike Transport picks them up and transports them, still fully assembled, to the event destination where the athlete picks up, ready to ride, just as it was when it was dropped off.
This eliminated the need for bikes to be packed in cases to be shipped with large courier companies or checked with airlines. Starting with six events six years ago, TriBike Transport now supports athletes traveling to nearly thirty events during the season.
