Tykes Bykes

Tykes Bykes is committed to raising happy, healthy and active children. We also happen to have a strong passion for bikes! For your youngster why battle with bikes that feel like they weigh 100 pounds, and deal with unhelpful training wheels? There is no need. Try a balance bike and your lil’ tyke will be on two wheels in no time.

The Running Store

It all started on December 10, 2006, when I was coming home from a coaching clinic in New Jersey. As I was lamenting with a coaching colleague about the fact that there is no specialty running shoe store in western Prince William County, suddenly the light bulb went off! I called my good friend and fellow track coach Jason Grant and exclaimed, “Let’s open up a running shoe store!” After one year of planning, ups, downs, road blocks and hurdles, we opened the doors on Nov 16, 2007.

Princeton Tec

At Princeton Tec, we’ve been pioneering new technologies and building lights for more than three decades. And yes, you could say it’s been quite a ride. In our pursuit to be the world’s best, we’ve travelled the earth by ocean, by air, by bike and by foot. We’ve consulted great athletes, scaled mountains, traversed the poles, touched the ocean floors and rolled two wheels on every continent. We are constantly inspired by what our ever evolving environments have to offer and the human spirit that challenges us to tackle them. This spirit, our spirit, motivates us to push technology and design, so that we can ensure that you have, not only the best lighting solutions, but solutions where technology is applied and the performance makes sense for how you use them. – http://www.princetontec.com/
