Heads up, as we head into 2025. Short hours on Tuesday, closed Wednesday to ride bikes, and back to our regular programming Thursday.
Tonight's route takes advantage of a quiet campus with temps in the mid  40's. 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 ride ends over at @athenticbrewing next door to our shop. Hope to see you there!

Just a heads up regarding our holiday schedule. You've got time to swing by and get a last minute stocking stuffer or gift card Christmas Eve. Regular hours resume after Christmas.

New Year's Day we will be closed to go ride bikes.

One thing people notice when they use their bike for transportation is that from time to time, the bike needs work. Some chain lube here and there, new cables, or sometimes things need to be bent back into shape. If you would like any help, we FYOB every Thursday night. Sometimes all you need is smart advice, the right tools and some spare parts.

Programming Notes: Tonight's soundtrack will feature Dum Dum Girls - Too True (2014), Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us (2024), High Vis - Guided Tour (2024), and Inca Babies - Ghost Mechanic Nine (2024). 

All bikes are welcome.
