Welcome back students!

With a record number of enrollments comparative to the past years it's no wonder more students are riding their bikes to class, there's no where to park! Doesn't matter if you're going to Washtenaw, Eastern, or Michigan, good luck finding a spot if your class starts after 6am.

The solution is clear, sling that backpack over your shoulder, snap on your helmet, and pedal to class. You'll often find your park spot (the bike rack) is right next to the building your class is in!

Not to sure if your bike is ready for your daily commute? Bring it in to the shop for a free estimate of what it would take to make your bike safe and road-ride ready. A Safety Check is only 10-bucks, a small price to pay for peace of mind. And don't worry about not knowing exactly what's wrong with your bike, that's what we're there for, and we'll explain the process each step of the way.

Just wheel it in, and we'll do the rest. And during move-in week we're working extra hard at the shop to make sure you get your bike back as soon as possible.

Also stop by and check out your options for bike locks, lights, racks, baskets, and anything else you might need to keep your bike, and yourself safe on the road.

beautiful day for a ride?

Living in Michigan forces you to accept certain habits. You call any carbonate beverage pop, eventually learn to play euchre, find out turning "left" often requires a right turn, and bike riding is awesome.

Ok, so that last one applies no matter what state you live in. While we're on this topic why not get on your bike today and go for a ride? Give yourself the extra 5, 10, 20 minutes you will need to get to work and pedal your way there. You'd be surprised all the little things you miss driving by at 55mph. Take in the view and put your legs to good use, ride your bike today.

While you're at it stop in the shop, even if just to say hi. We love the company and maybe we can answer a question or two for you.

......speaking of work I'm late, adios
