City Bikes, a major South Florida retail bike store has joined forces with Miami Tri Events as title sponsor for Ironman 70.3 Miami. The City Bikes Ironman 70.3 Miami event will take place on 28 October 2012 at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami. The race is unique in that it allows competitors to race through the heart of the major metropolis. Last year’s race was sold out, with athletes from over 58 countries in attendance.
City Bikes was founded in 2002 and is dedicated to providing unparalleled service. The retailer’s goal is to provide customers with quality products and ensure their satisfaction. The company has a long track record of satisfied customers from near and far as well as a thriving online store.
City Bikes is a retailer of well-known brands such as Cervélo, and Trek, as well as apparel from brands such as Louis Garneau. The store was named one of the top 100 retailers for 2011 by Bicycle Magazine and was also a top 50 Trek dealer that same year. Jaime Diaz, President of City Bikes, said “City Bikes is proud to become the title sponsor the 2012 Ironman 70.3 Miami. This is the biggest triathlon in Florida, and we’re excited to further our relationship with Wilber and his team at Miami Tri Events.”
The two Miami-based companies began their business relationship at the 2011 Ironman 70.3 Miami event and saw the potential to provide an experience for athletes through mutual collaboration. The partnership will ‘bring great benefit to participating athletes in the form of bi-weekly offers on gear and bikes as well as excellent pre-race and on-course bike mechanics for the event.’
City Bikes will also be present at the event expo, which is one of the largest in the history of the event and provides athletes with the latest products in the sport at expo-exclusive prices.
Miami Tri Events is a company that focuses on putting together healthy lifestyle events, many of which have attracted national and international attention. By creating awareness for recreation and fitness while also engaging local charities and non?profit organizations, Miami Tri Events ensures that every ‘effort taken contributes to society in a positive and vigorous manner.’
Commenting on the latest partnership with City Bikes, CEO Wilber Anderson said, “As a company that thrives on excellence, we are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with a store such as City Bikes, which is known for its commitment to provide high quality products and complete customer satisfaction.”
