ABUS Mobile Security announced today that they are kicking off the 2014 cyclocross season in a big way by sponsoring Clif Bar CrossVegas as the presenting sponsor of the BikeValet.

“We are thrilled to be working with CrossVegas on making getting to the race even more bike friendly,”said ABUS Marketing Manager Joan Hanscom.  “There is an excellent route to the race via the bike lane on Twain Avenue.  It takes riders all the way from The Strip to the race where you’ll be able to leave your bike in a staffed, secured bike parking corral.  To make it even more attractive – anybody checking their bike into the bike parking will automatically be entered into a drawing to win ABUS prizes throughout the evening.”

CrossVegas director Brook Watts commented, “We’ve seen an increase each year in the number of fans riding from The Strip to Desert Breeze Soccer Complex where the race is held. ABUS has stepped up to make it even more practical and Feedback Sports has provided the racks to simplify the storage.”

Hanscom continued, “Brook puts on a top-notch show, CrossVegas transcends bike racing – it’s an event.  In addition to the BikeValet, we’re hosting a private VIP area for our guests.  We’re looking forward to a great party with our colleagues from around the country and the world while watching some of the top cyclocross racers from around the world compete under the lights.”

HOW RAD IS THIS!!! I hope all you goons attending this event this year give ABUS a high five. Looks like they will be serving your and your two wheeled thrashing machine well at Cross Vegas this year!

“ABUS Mobile Security, Inc. announced today that they will sponsor the 2014 PeopleForBikes Ride on Chicago. The ride, which kicks off in Kansas City, MO on May 29 and covers more than 500 miles in 5 days before arriving in Chicago on June 2nd, benefits PeopleForBikes and is designed to raise both funds and awareness for safer and better bicycling in the United States.

ABUS Marketing Manager Joan Hanscom, who will join the ride as one of the 25 riding the route in its entirety, explained the company’s decision to become involved, “ABUS believes wholeheartedly in the mission of PeopleForBikes and we are very proud to sponsor the Ride on Chicago – especially as it finishes in our own hometown! Not only are we professionally invested in seeing safer and thriving infrastructure for bikes and bicyclists but on a very personal level we are all believers. Everyone in our office commutes to work by bike. We know from real life experiences that it’s important to have safer roads for all cyclists.”   

She continued, “Chicago has made a tremendous investment in bicycling. We have a local frame builders, a women’s only bike shop, a thriving bike share system, an expanding network of protected bike lanes, a robust network of trails and bike paths throughout the state. ABUS is proud to be a part of this community and we believe that by supporting PeopleForBikes and the Ride that we are making a very real contribution to seeing even more cyclists on the road riding safely here and in other communities – along the Ride route and across the whole country.” – ABUS
