Tour de Crave
You could say bike riding has a special place in our hearts. 🚲️
Our Co-Founder Carolyne and her husband Tony were riding their bikes through the community of Kensington in Calgary one day and saw a “For Lease” sign in the window at 1107 Kensington Road. 18 years later, Crave has opened 5 more stores in Calgary, Edmonton and Saskatoon.
The Tour de Crave was inspired the by the summer outdoor training program for the Nakiska Alpine Ski Association - which Carolyne’s son Oliver was part of.
