Thursday Night Potluck, weekly 7:00 - 9:00pm

We are a bike shop, but we try to be more than that. The most important thing to us is that you get on the a bike and ride to your heart's content. We want to make sure you get on the best bike for you. Hopefully , you'll get that bike from us, but if not, that's fine too. Just come and hang out. Thursday nights we're open late, come over for food, drinks, and conversation! Every week is a surprise. Sometimes it's 3 of us, sometimes it's 25 of us. We have comfortable couches and a charming staff. Most of all, we have really cool customers. Come in and meet them: roadies, commuters, dirty mountain bikers, tri-nerds, fixie freaks and everyone in between. Bring yourself. Bring a friend. Food and beverage donations welcomed.
