Hey all! We’ve got not one but TWO rides planned for this Sunday and Monday (aka Memorial Day). Sunday will be a nice lil gravel ride from the shop that’ll pass through some of our favorite spots - Arlingnon’s Great Meadows and Whipple Hill. No drop, casual pace, no bad attitudes! Monday will be a chill #coffeeoutside ride with our pals @drinkbivo! There’ll be a raffle for two of their supremely awesome bottles and all who show up will be entered to win one! The ride will be a short and sweet one to a spot along the river and then back to the shop. Show up on your funnest bike and bring a friend or two! #employeerob may or may not be making some vegan pancakes? Come out and see for yourself!

Amanda here just picked up this brand spankin’ new @surlybikes Preamble! She was searching for a bike to get out there and do some touring and other long rides, and the Preamble fit the bill nicely! Happy #newbikeday Amanda!!!
We’re stoked on these bikes since they pack a lot of bike in a relatively economical package. They’ve got a quality steel frame, a balanced geometry, just the right amount of mounting points, and a pretty good parts kit, so they’re a perfect match for a lot of commuters, gravel-curious riders, and bike tourists too. We’ve got a size range of these dropbar Preambles in-stock right now, so check em out if you’ve been waiting for a bike like this!

It’s official: @ronsbikes bags and goodies are in the house!!! These thoughtful, timeless, and handsome bags are some of the best for stuffing your stuff on (and off) the bike whether you’re going near or far. We’ve got the three models they make - the bikepacking-ready Fabio’s Chest, the quick draw daytripper Fabio’s Fanny, and the roadie-compatible Fab’s Abs - so we have an option that’ll fit your bike and needs. Additionally, they are made about 2.5 hours south of us in CT by some friendly folks. We know a lot of you have been curious about how these would fit your fit, so now is the chance to check em out locally! If you’re headed to the @nutmegnoreaster Spring Fling this weekend and wanna look the part, these are mandatory as well 😉

Inflation and bike prices have spiraled a lot over the past few years, so naturally we’re glad to see some companies do the right thing and drop prices back to more sane prices. Two of our favorites, @allcitycycles and @surlybikes have done that and dropped prices on some of their most popular models, including the Gorilla Monsoon, Cosmic Stallion, Big Block, Bridge Club, and Ogre. We have all of these respective bikes in stock at their new lower, more attainable prices right now. So, if you’re after a high quality steel bike like these, now is the best time, especially if you want to save a decent chunk of change! Get in touch if you’re curious about what sizes we have ready to test ride today!

Our buddy @tana_fotos just finished up the build on one of our prototype @superbbicycle Pursuits. We had a few prototypes of these made back in the day, but they never went into production. These mostly hung on our walls over the years since then. Well, fast forward a bunch of years and BT convinced us to sell this one to him and here we are! We helped out on the build here and there and built up those shiny AF wheels, but otherwise BT put it together himself. Proud of you bud!

This new @linusbike Dutchi 3i is comin’ in 🔥hot🔥 Kathryn bought this bike and immediately wanted to add a dynamo system to it, so we obliged. We built a new wheel with a nice shiny SP hub and wired up some nice shiny @buschundmueller lights to keep it feeling factory. We think these bikes are already pretty perfect, but this set-up takes it way up to 11!
We love helping people make their new bike feel like their own, no matter how or small the changes you wanna make are, just let us know what’s on your mind and we can try to make your dreams come true! We’ve got plenty of new bikes in-stock today from @linusbike and many other brands, so check em out and get ready for the nice riding weather 🌞☀️🕶

We just finished up assembling Micaela’s @rivbike Platypus! This one is set up in proper Rivendellian style with all the proper bits and bobs (even the twine, which was added after these photos 🫣). We also installed the @simworksusa @honjomudguards fenders, which came out 💯 Thanks, Micaela - we hope you love it!

To make matters juicier, we’ll be offering 10% off on all parts with frames built by us, so let your imagination run wild! We’ll be taking pre-orders until April 5th, so please get in touch by email (Cambridge.bicycle at gmail) asap to start the process or learn more!

This here is a real special build for our latest employee profile. Shane is one of our senior mechanics and he has an incredibly sharp eye for the details. This one is no different - it’s definitely all about the details! He tricked out this 90s GT Tempest for his buddy @rediovision. Feast your eyes on all the juiciness this build has to offer!

We just received a big ol’ batch of new Bern helmets! We’ve got all your favorites, but we also got two brand-new models that we’re excited about: the Major MIPS and the Hendrix MIPS. The Major MIPS offers a bit more ventilation compared to their classic models and also boasts a 5-Star rating from Virigina Tech’s Helmet Ratings Lab. The Hendrix MIPS offers a bit more coverage with a molded visor and has an optional winter liner kit for cold weather. Like all Bern helmets, these are all pretty handsome yet still super functional to offer you stellar on-bike safety.

Here’s a heads up for y’all - we’ve got…🔧🪛NEW REFURB BIKES⚙️🔩 Each of these has been thoroughly scrutinized, tuned, trimmed, and had plenty of new (or used) parts swapped out to ensure they’re as good as can be for a commuter looking for an economical solution. We’ve got a good size range right now so riders from around 5’ and up should be covered. Since these are all one-offs, check em out ASAP if you’ve been on the search for a reliable lower-cost bike!
