Big Savings on New Bikes before the Holidays!
Honestly, we tried to find exactly what you like and finally decided…..to just let you buy it!
Come in between now and close of day on X-mas eve and receive 10% off of any new bike purchase. That’s 95$ off the cost of a brand new 2013 Jamis Ventura Comp road bike or $75 off the cost of a 2013 Jamis Commuter 3.
With these savings you can easily outfit yourself for some great winter riding with a brand new helmet, lights, reflective gear, and lock.
Come see us before the holidays!
Bikers Mean Business
Yay for logic, facts, and the scientific method!
There are all kinds of opinions floating around out there about how biking is good or bad or unsafe or healthier, etc. And, of course, everyone is somewhat biased toward their chosen means of transportation. So when it comes time to set policy and make changes, real data makes all the difference. For instance, many business owners are opposed to removing car parking spaces to make room for bike corrals. Similarly, many business owners oppose the creation of bike lanes on major downtown roadways. The reasons for this opposition? The general opinion is that affluent people (aka, good car owning/driving folk who can afford to buy goods) can’t find parking right in front of the businesses, so they choose not to shop in those locations which surely they would otherwise frequent. This debate has raged on in many cities for years with little actual data to inform the opinions of either side. So I was relieved to see this excellent article on a study by Portland State University which sought to measure the economic effect of car-free shoppers. Guess what they found? Read and find out…

Question: What do Christmas, bikes and MC Hammer have in common?
Well, at least on this Saturday (12/15), the answer is:
Pedal Bike Tours!
That’s right. Our friends and staff are gathering together after hours to celebrate all of these things.
A healthier choice of transportation.
Join us tomorrow at 6pm at the shop for some warm drinks and holiday cheer! We’ll be hanging out and having fun as we prepare to cruise to southeast Portland for a look at the beautiful lights of Peacock Lane. But first….
You know you’ve got some gold hammer-pants at home…
Witness the spectacle of Portland’s own Gigi Malibu as she and her team take us on a trip down memory lane with tunes from MC Hammer, lively aerobic dance moves and lots of day-glo fashion. That’s right. It’s Hammercise! Catch the magic at 6:45pm.
Finally, we’ll take to the streets at 7pm for an easy-paced ride to Peacock Lane. Once there, you are on your own as we join the masses for “pedestrians only” night!
Join us for this exciting evening! All are invited!
