CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Local businesses are showing their support for the USA Cycling Pro Road National Championships presented by Spilman Thomas & Battle coming to Charleston May 19-26. In preparation for this huge event, several local businesses have developed cycling-themed products, including shirts, jewelry, ice cream, and beer.
Handcrafted in store, Petit Jewelry Designs created a pendant celebrating the 2025 races. This silver piece can be worn on a necklace or charm bracelet or modified to wear as a pin. Petit is located at 914 Bridge Road in the South Hills neighborhood.
Buck & Bette’s 2024 race t-shirt was so popular, the store had to create a new one for 2025! This year’s Buck & Bette design features Charleston as Bike City with representations of the Schoenbaum Stage at Haddad Riverfront Park and the Capitol Dome. Buck & Bette is located at 123 Summers Street.
Starting Sunday, May 18, Ellen’s Homemade Ice Cream is offering a sweet treat for cycling enthusiasts.
