         South Maui Bicycles has moved to a new and more spacious home.

       After spending its first 34 years of business across from Kalama Park, the Maui family-owned business has relocated to 1215 South Kihei Road next to Longs Drugs. South Maui Bicycles is a full service shop, with sales, service and rentals. Its friendly and helpful staff also organize the Maui Century Ride.
         South Maui Bicycles is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday. A sale on bikes and accessories is scheduled to continue through Black Friday, Nov. 29.

Note: Shop owner Frank Hackett is one of my oldest friends on the island. He mentioned he would like to do a press release about the move and I stopped by to take some environmental portraits for him. These are a few of the shots.

Shop staff said this bright Haleakala cycling jersey is their fastest-selling piece of apparel.

The new location is in the same shopping center as Longs Drugs on South Kihei Road.
