Hi all, Hope this year has been as good to you as it has to us! Thanks to seriously kick ass customers we've had a strong season, and a great year all around. This time of year finds us starting a little remodel while building new bikes and looking forward to the 2013 season (after a well deserved break in late January/early February). Once again we're hosting a Holiday Party, and this years shindig will go down on December 15th between the hours of 2 and 6pm. Feel free to swing by and guzzle our drinks and partake in our pulled pork, chili or whatever other good stuff Stacy decides to make for us all! A vegetarian dish of some sort will also be on the menu, so there you go. Please bring an unwrapped toy to be entered in a raffle for bike gear and accessories! All the toys collected will be donated to Children's Friend as part of their Spirit of Giving Campaign . Clothing such as mittens, gloves, hats etc make great gifts and are very much appreciated as well! Ahead o...

So, in case you didn't already know we've been holding an in season sale on all of our in stock bikes. Basically any of the bikes in the shop are 15% off msrp. Not a bad deal.

Last week we came back to work after a nice long break and we're ready to go! Apparently the local riding community is as well judging by the service work and general busyness around the shop. It could be the weather we've enjoyed this winter, or it could be that all the diehards just needed to ride all year round. Whatever the reason, we got you covered in 2012. Here is some pertinent info to check out as we roll into the new riding season. "The Basics" Free Repair classes: These are free classes, close to the start of the season (so you don't learn it and forget it), that cover the basics like flat tire repair, drivetrain maintenance, chain repair and basic wheel truing. The idea is to empower you so you can get home should anything (or a few things) go wrong. The classes are FREE and we give a 10% discount on all tools and supplies (tubes, patch kits, lube, etc..) bought after the classes. The dates are March 5th and March 12th, classes start at 6. Basically we...

Howdy, This is already all over the interwebs, and is likely old news to you if you peruse Facebook, but we're hosting a small get together on Saturday the 17th to celebrate the close of season number 2. Join us from 3-7pm for some beer and pizza and take advantage of our "we're going to be away for a little while so a bunch of stuff is on sale" sale! We have a whole bunch of winter riding gear from gloves to tights to pants and jackets, as well as lights for your early AM or night time riding pleasure. All in stock bikes, parts and accessories are 10 - 20% off. Now on to our winter vacation schedule... X-Mas break: 12/25 - 1/1 Open again with regular business hours from 1/2 through 1/14. Winter break: 1/15 through 2/6 returning on 2/7. So, that's it. All the news that's fit to print! If we don't see you before we take off have a great holiday season!

And, it actually looks like a bike shop and not some dank cave that smells of rubber and coffee. How awesome is that? We're real happy with the new space and fairly surprised with how many folks walking in never knew that the old shop was located only a mile away. I know it's Rhode Island and all but still... Oh, and the trails at the Monastery are less than a 1/2 mile away, offer a great workout and they are pretty damn fun to boot. How about that? On the service front we're firing on all cylinders once again and staying on top of our goal of getting people back on their bikes in a few days. On the bike front we're psyched to let people know that we can now help them go big (and maybe deep into debt?) with IBIS. We're looking forward to seeing the new Mojo HD when it gets here later this week. I'm guessing the guy who bought is as well. Other notable bikes that have been built/will be arriving shortly: Banshee Paradox custom singlespeed build. We built th...

I couldn't resist the new Karate Monkey frameset, I just couldn't do it. I tried and all, but it's been a year since I sold my '03 and it was time. So, we brought in a complete 2011 Karate Monkey in the 18" variety , and I bought a frame and fork. Ride #1 was last night down at Big River before the RI NEMBA meeting. I had almost forgotten how much fun these bikes were to ride. The memory came back about 1 minute into the ride flowing down DNA trail. Like most Surlys it rides like a bike, nice and neutral and all around fun to ride! Swing by and check out the in stock complete and if it tickles your fancy we'll let you buy it, or we'll order you one in your size. Whatever works for you. See you then.
