Shop Bike

Purple Schwinn Stingray – not ready to go yet, but several people have inquired. Excellent turning radius.

The bike your neighbor friend had and you always wanted.

5% of Sales to Rwanda at Two Wheel

Our good friends at Two Wheel Transit We are pleased to announce that 5% of the sales price of any 2011 Trek bicycle purchased from January 3 through February 15 will be donated by the shop to Project Rwanda. If you know of anyone considering a new bike, please make them aware of this worthy project!

Project Rwanda provides special cargo bikes in the form of a micro loan to Rwandan coffee farmers with 300 trees or less. These bikes make a significant contribution to the quality of life of these industrious farmers. To date the shop has raised enough for 2 bikes from donations and matching from Two Wheel Transit.

There is currently a “coffee bike” on display on the sales floor as a way to demonstrate this program. Ck it out.

We love these guys!

This is Dylan. Not only is he a really fast (and lumber jacky) CX racer, he’s a web developer. He has ported our site over from our buddy Alex Wetmore’s basement to another hoster and he’s ported our platform to WordPress.

Here’s Alex:

Not only is Alex an expert tire changer — and really, he is (with a patch, he can replace a tire in well under 10 minutes, and we all know you must wait at least 5 minutes for the glue to vulcanize before adding air to a patched tube) — but he’s also the hoster of many websites and bike-related lists (bikelist.org, phred.org, etc).

So the new website is a port to WordPress. Note we have the ability to have pictures in our posts now! Yes. We shall henceforth commit to abuse this feature.

Alex and Dylan are both super nice righteous dudes that put in a lot of time in between their busy lives to help keep the virtual P2P online. Alex has put in at least 10 hours on this latest project and we sort of stopped counting after 30 hours for Dylan. This is huge and we so appreciate it.

We can now deal with comments too! So that gives you an opportunity to test out the new platform by thanking Alex and Dylan too.

Thanksgiving

We can’t believe it’s been nearly a year since our new shop opened, and man are we thankful for all that we’ve been able to do this year, and all we’ve been able to help at our new location.

On that note, we will be closed on Thanksgiving weekend–Th, Fri, Sat–to spend time with our families and take a little break.
