Our Lil Corner

It takes a whole lot more than just two wheels to have a safe and fun cycling experience. For all the necessary accessories you need, wheel into Aurora's Treads Bicycle Outfitters. In addition to selling the latest bicycles, you'll find helmets, gloves and other necessary gear. Plus, the staff will make sure that your bike is road ready as they offer bike "tune-ups" that ensure that when you hit the road, you will have plenty of fun, but stay as safe as possible.

William Smith was an Aurora pioneer who went from raising sheep on his humble property to eventually founding Aurora's Public Schools and donating the land for Del Mar Park. See where this prominent Aurora figure lived by visiting the William Smith House that was built in 1910 and named a landmark in 1986. The home remained in the family until 1983 when Smith's daughter Margaret, passed away. The house is now a privately owned residence, but you can still stroll by and snap photos from the sidewalk.
