Train Smarter - Use a Heart Rate Monitor

To get the best workout in the least amount of time we suggest using a heart rate monitor. Simply set an upper and lower heart rate zone, put the wireless monitor on and start cycling. Simply by keeping your heart rate within the zone limits you will improve the efficiency and results of your cycling session.
If your goal is to lose weight a heart rate monitor will prove invaluable. A heart rate monitor will not only count your calories burned but also guide you to the heart zone that allows you to burn calories from fat. A good quality heart rate monitor can be purchased for as little as $49.88. Click on the underlined text to visit our Heart Rate Monitors Section.

Branford Bike Online Catalog - Archival Edition
brought to you by the former owner of Branford Bike, Tim Brockett via his personal web site, TimsLife.Com
This is an archival edition of the Branford Bike web site from February 2006. Complete with product photos, prices, how to articles and technical specifications it is a treasure trove of accurate, detailed and historical information.

In July of 2006 Branford Bike was incinerated by a huge forest fire. No one was hurt but the inventory and buildings were completely destroyed. I witnessed the fire and stayed until the trees were burning in my driveway. At that point I hiked from Branford Bike, through the smoke and embers, down the mountain to my Jeep 3 miles away. I took photos and wrote about the harrowing experience so everyone could see what I saw. My insurance was generous and I later rebuilt my home and started another business selling books. Read the story here.

Branford Bike was a huge part of my life for over 30 years; June 1976 to July 2006. I enjoyed those years tremendously and Branford Bike was often a labor of love. I hope you enjoy browsing through the archival catalog. If your visit brings back pleasant memories please share them with me via e-mail at timbrockett@gmail.com .

If you find any printed Branford Bike catalogs, advertisments or flyers please scan them as a PDF and email. Or you may mail them via US Post to Tim Brockett, PO Box 1711, Emigrant, MT 59027. Eventually I will post them in a Memorabilia catalog section.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes,
Tim Brockett
