Featured Dealer Calhoun Cycle Minneapolis, MN   Showcasing Our Premier Shops. Get to know the dealers who stand behind Arkel in this regular feature.

The gang over at Calhoun "gets" us. If you live and ride in the Minneapolis area
and are looking for folks who use and know our bags inside and out, you won't do better than Calhoun! Customer service, product knowledge, plenty of stock on hand and staff who match riders up with what they really need.

We're an urban shop, in Minneapolis' Uptown area-and we carry a wide range of bags & racks for people who use their bikes in daily life, whether it's through commuting, market shopping, or cross country touring. Beyond the average commuter, we also focus on recumbent bikes & trikes, folding bikes, cargo bikes, and utility bikes. We believe Arkel offers the best touring bags available, as well as some of the top utility and commuter bags on the market. From the mounting system to the quality of construction, to the life time warranty, our staff sees Arkel as the all-around best bags out there for our customers.

What people are saying about them, excerpts from Minneapolis' local bike forum:

"Calhoun has... a fantastic selection of panniers in stock!"

"This is the only shop in town that really caters to transportation cyclists, and it shows."

"A few weeks ago, I wanted to check out an Arkel Shopper pannier to see if I wanted to buy one. Calhoun had one.... I asked if I could take it for a test ride so I could make sure I didn't get heel strike. No problem. I ended up buying it after measuring it myself. It really will take a 12 pack of beer in bottles, no problem."
