Needs to go away soon! We have a few new rides kicking around (such as the Rocky Mountain Slayer 30 and Banshee Spitfire below) with more to come over the next week or so. We'll even have some demo road bikes as well as a CX bike. Now all we need is about 5,0000 less inches of snow and some decent riding weather...

Hi all, Some news to peruse... Winter Repair Classes start next week! Some of you might be wondering why we waited so long to schedule the classes. With all the snow we figured the nearer to the actual riding season the better. Learning how to change a flat and fix a chain, and then not using those skills for a few months, seems a bit silly. With any luck we'll all be riding regularly again in no time! Many people ride with a kit full of tools and tire levers they purchased with their bike but never really learned how to use them. A little knowledge goes a long way, and learning how to get yourself out of a jam can be an empowering thing and is essential for all cyclists. Flat repair classes: These classes will focus on teaching the skills to avoid the dreaded walk/cell phone call of shame! Practice diagnosing flats and properly reinstalling your tire and tube. *Please bring your own wheel/tire combo. All tires and rims are a little different with some being easier to seat than ot...

While it's true that iPhone pictures aren't the best I bet you get the drift (get it?). Lincoln Woods this morning, 1/13/2011. Deep snow cover and great snowshoeing to be had. Get outside and enjoy it because who knows how long it will stick around.

We find ourselves in possession of a few SS 29ers that need to find a good home this winter. All are steel, rigid and ready to go for the rest of the sloppy season. The V-brake bike can be converted to disc, and gearing needs can be accommodated - we have the technology! Heck, we can even apply a nice coat of frame saver if you're the kind of rider to fret about rust and exploding frames. The bikes: Redline Monocog 29, 2010 size 17" . $450 With Disc Brakes (not pictured) Surly Karate Monkey Complete 18" 2011 . Call us to discuss pricing on this one. They ain't easy to procure at the moment, but we'd like to get this out in the woods before too long.

Hey all, We're going to be closed for a few days after the holidays and we'll be open again on 12/30. We already started some reorganizing and the shop should look a little different. Now that we are NOT switching places with Honey Dew we're trying to maximize the space we have for the next year or so, or until the move does take place. The new layout should free up some space and help make things run smoother around the shop. Once the dust has settled we're going to hammer out a winter repair class schedule. We're going to offer some free repair classes over the course of January and February, starting with the basics and moving into some more advanced wrenching as we progress deeper into the icy season. The emphasis will be on practical repairs to help get you riding again should something bad happen out on the road, path or trail. Anyways, have a happy holiday and a safe new year!

Finally getting around to posting this here. The ride is off due to the rain and temperature up swing tomorrow. The potential to completely wreck the trails for the rest of the winter is the main reason we called it off. That, and no one really wants to ride in a cold rain. And who can blame them. There is no immediate rain date (the 19th was too close to the holidays) but we are going to look into an event in the early season before the park is officially "open". It sucks to have to cancel but it's the right thing to do. We are still collecting food at the shop as are most (if not all) of the bike shops in RI. When you visit your favorite shop please bring some canned goods or other non-perishable food items! We'll be accepting food until the end of next week. Depending on the weather this winter Mike and I (and some fellow LW regulars) will likely hold a show and go ride at the park. While it won't have all the bells and whistles of an official fun ride it will ...
