Happy Birthday, Samantha
Yesterday a customer Samantha came in and picked up a new bike for her birthday. She chose a 2010 Fuji Feather, and then outfitted it with SKS Race Blade fenders, a set of Planet Bike Blaze and Superflash lights, and Nitto cruiser bars! The bike already came with a front brake, but everything Samantha chose made this one of the most proper and good-looking bikes to roll out of the shop. Add a silver Crane Bell and it'd be the perfect city fixed-gear bike. Talk about a great gift!
Farewell, Mr. Bottomley
Sadly enough, our mechanic Rob is leaving us for the winter months for greener pastures. Today's his last day in the shop. To celebrate he took the Big Ripper out for a spin. On and off the bike he's an awesome dude and we're not the only ones who feel this way. Check out this blog his friends made to spread word of his enigmatic character.

N. Harvard Street finally getting a makeover
Ok, so it's not quite as bad as this picture...yet. But we all know that the section of North Harvard St. by Harvard Stadium is in dire need of some big-time repairs. I used to loath that route like nothing else when I had to take it to and from my old job every day: bumpy as hell, cars parked on both sides, the godforsaken 66(6) bus nearly running me off the road. So, I'm excited to report that the city has finally taken note of this deathtrap and drawn up reconstruction plans. According to...

We chatted and I invited her to the Freddy Vs. Jason Race. Well, she showed up to the race on...
