1. It's true, we're closed all day today. We will be attending Day 2 of the annual @georgia_bikes Bike, Walk, Live Summit in Decatur to join partners from around the state as we work together to make Georgia a better place to bike, walk, and live.

4. What's up with the cool Trek 1200 with the Fulcrum Racing wheelset in the picture? It's recently been up for sale, and it's been catching quite a few stares in the front window. Stop by for a test ride. 🚲

Another addition to the shop today. Brand new @efficientvelo EZ Lift repair stand, with 35lbs of assisted lift to make working on the heaviest bikes a lot easier.
New @sarisofficial pump installed in front of our shop. Available for use anytime.
Looks like things will be clearing up just in time for the September Joy Ride.

Remember to bring a helmet, water, and lights. We abide by all applicable traffic laws and re-group at safe stops as needed during the ride, making sure to leave nobody behind.
The shop is closed today and there will not be our regular FYOB session tonight. Catch us again next week for all of that. We're still hopeful about tomorrow's Joy Ride, stay tuned for updates.
Pencil in your calendars for this Friday's Joy Ride. We'll be watching the weather and hopefully the rain moves out of the area by late afternoon.
