We are now carrying the best cargo strap option out there: @voilestraps! We’ve got 15”, 20”, 25”, and rack straps in stock right now in a wide variety of colors. They don’t scratch your gear, they’re (virtually) indestructible, they are colorful, and they’re made in Utah. What more can you ask for, except maybe what can they be used for? Well, they’re pretty “infinitely useful”, but we’ve got a couple of the most common use cases for a commuter or overnighter setup, so swipe away to get some inspo ➡️➡️➡️
Swing by to swoop your fave color at thee shop anytime!

Josh is getting started on a new project. First-up, a fresh coat of paint on his Humble fgcx frame at the Artisan's Asylum before putting everything together. Stay tuned for the rest of the build in the next one.
Shoutout to @spray.bike for the special sauce. I made a typo in the video, the color is actually “Goldhawk Road”.

We’re back at it for normal hours today. It’s a good day for full coverage fenders, if you ask us! Stop on by if you need some provisions before tomorrows wintry mix ❄️🌨☃️

Jan 22
Today 20 brave riders came out in the cold to join us for our first Breakfast Outside Ride of the year. Rob brought his famous camp pancake mix and we celebrated our dear friend Katharine’s 26th Birthday!
Big thanks to all the first-timers in the group. We’re so excited to see you again for the next ride.

Our guy @noahbensonmusic has the sweetest @ridecannondale Topstone out there (according to our opinion)! Noah got this bike from us last spring and has made some big changes since then. The biggest are swapping out the stock 700c wheels for some lighter 650b wheels and then adding that luxury @ultradynamico rubber. Lighter, faster, and funner are words Noah used to describe the new set-up. It’s always nice to see folks make the changes to their rides to better fit their needs. Whether you’re trying to make your bike more comfortable, lighter, cargo-capable, or anything else along those lines, get in touch if you need some help figuring out what’s possible!

Calling all early birds! Weather’s looking relatively nice for a ride this Sunday. Bundle-up and join us for an easy ride out of town at 9am with emphasis on a long pitstop for coffee and breakfast.
In keeping with our tradition, we encourage you to bring a camp-coffee setup. Some of us will be bringing kits to cook breakfast (instant oatmeal counts) but store-bought is always acceptable. If we’re lucky we may see a bikecamping pankcake station MAYBE. This won’t be a catered event so bring enough sustenance for yourself and bring enough to share if you are able.
The trails are still a soggy hell so this will be a pavement ride, bring any bike you like, there may be a brief hike-a-bike section to set up in the park. Bring something cosy so you don’t get chilled while you sip on coffee or tea or hot-drink of choice.

We just finished up these haute wheels for our friend @dyke3watchout5! Gage brought in some sweet vintage hubs from @whiteind and @ritcheylogic and then we found the perfect NOS @maviccycling rims to pair em with. We hear these will be going on her Bridgestone RB-1 project, which makes us even more stoked. Thanks, Gage!
If you’ve got a project or build you’re thinking about, get in touch! We’ve got a fairly short queue right now (under a week for most jobs), so let’s make your dreams come true 💫

Here’s a special build we’re featuring as our #staffbike this week, it’s @xcanidx and his Surly Screamroller Polo bike! Jeff had found a heavily damaged steamroller, fashioned a brand new front end for it and pulled spare parts from far and wide to create this chimera.
If you’re interested in seeing them in action this winter come join us Sundays, Wednesdays, or Fridays at Corporal Burns Playground!

From CB to you, happy new year! 2022 was a killer year for us and we couldn’t be more grateful to our customers for supporting our small business! We’re excited to keep the energy going into 2023 as we gear up for a bigger and better year. Here’s a quick teaser of some of the changes we’re making around the shop to the floor plan. Come say hey and check it out next time you’re in the neighborhood!

The Bridge Club is back! Meaner and greener than ever and more than prepared to tackle whatever New England decides to throw at us. A capable ride for those multi-surface outings, bike tours, or even the off beaten path if you’re feeling zesty on your commute. This one is a shop favorite that comes festooned with enough mounting points than you can poke a rack at. Sizes are limited so if you’ve been thinking about a bike like this, come by and do your thinking on a test ride.

Some of our favorite alloy road bikes from @ridecannondale are back in stock at long last! Options include the best-selling Synapse 105 and the entry-level CAAD Optimo 4. The Synapse, in our view, is a perfect endurance road bike. It handles exactly like you’d want it to when putting in the miles while also being comfortable enough to keep you riding further and stay out longer, even in less than ideal weather conditions and on real life roads (read: crappy roads). The CAAD Óptimo on the other hand is an ideal starting point for new riders. It’s a lightweight, aggressive frame with tight handling that just begs to be pushed harder. We’ve got a very limited selection right now, so check em out before they’re gone!

Check out the gorgeous new 🦄 Cosmic Stallion 🦄 from @allcitycycles, which features a beautiful new paint job for this go-around that’s a real head turner. What’s special about this steed otherwise, you ask? Well, for one, it features All-City’s custom ACE steel tubing, which saves a generous amount of weight over conventional chromoly but also makes the bike feel even more responsive when riding hard and also being very plush when the going gets rough thanks to its thinner walls and special shaping. To make matters even better, it’s paired with a @whiskypartsco fork, the pretty dang perfect @shimanogravel GRX drivetrain, a highly refined geo, and fender and rack mounts. No matter what sort of roads you’re riding (which may not even be roads at all), you’ll be hard pressed to find a better partner for chasing sunsets than the Cosmic Stallion. We’ve got a 52cm currently in-stock, so swing by for a test ride some time!

Can’t decide what to get your loved one this holiday season? Here’s the next best thing: send them our way (with a gift card). We’ll help them find what they want, what they need, or what they couldn’t have imagined was available here in Cambridge.

One of the most important and overlooked upgrades you can make to a brand new (or well used) bike is the pedals. A good pedal can turn a good bike to an an amazing bike. Wider flat pedals offer so much better traction and comfort, especially for winter boots, mountain bikers, and folks with larger feet while clipless pedals have tons of benefits for riders seeking improved performance. Here’s some of our favorite pedals that could also end up being one of your favorites! For flats, we really dig the @crankbrothers Stamp 7 (especially in this beautiful limited edition polished silver), the timeless @mkspedal Allways, and the @raceface Ride which punches way above its weight. For clipless, we’ll always adore the perfect @rideshimano XT T8000s for those that want the best of both worlds as well as the slightly more economical EH500s, but we also love the @timepedals ATAC XC 2 for a starter price point! No matter what your riding will entail, we’ve got something suitable for your bike that will benefit your ride!
