Shop Ride Redux- September Edition

It’s about time for another of our killer monthly shop rides:  The ride will take place on Saturday, September 11.  We love to have chance to take it to the streets with our customers and friends, so please join us!.  See below for the journalistic deets.

Who: Everyone is invited!

What: NYC Velo Monthly Shop Ride

When: Saturday, September 11th.  Meet at the shop at 8AM.  We leave at 830.

Where: The ride begins and ends at NYC Velo- 64 2nd Ave (between 3rd and 4th St)  We’ll ride across the GWB to Piermont and back.  The pace is entirely up to you guys.

Why: Because we love riding bikes!

Misc:  Once again Erik from Vice Magazine will be leading this month’s ride.  Hopefully you don’t wear anything that will get you featured in “DOs and DON’Ts.”

Ben from Think Coffee will be in da’ house creating espresso-based masterpieces just for you.  Delicious, delicious baked goods from Blue Sky Bakery will also be provided in order to further convince you to show up and ride your awesome bike with awesome people.

IF Ride Redux

It’s been a year since we partnered up with the fine folks at Independent Fabrication and things couldn’t be better. There are quite a number of new IF owners out there with some pretty amazing bikes to show off.  We would like to invite all current, former, and future IF owners to participate in the Second Biannual IF Ride.

If you currently own an IF, are thinking of buying one, or just want to know what the deal is with custom bikes, come by the shop to meet and ride with our friends from Somerville, MA on Saturday, July 10.  Russ and Daughters bagels and Think Coffee will be served at 8am, and the ride heads off to Piermont at 8:30am.

Show off your bike (regardless of provenence) on a comfortable ride to Piermont, NY with like-minded individuals.  Afterward the IF crew will be on hand to answer questions and show off some amazing demo bikes. Additionally, we’ll raffle some some swag, including a Level 2 paint upgrade on any new IF, an custom NYC Velo Whalemouth bag from Baileyworks, and a custom NYC Velo Rambler backpack from Mission Workshop.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get to know a unique brand!

That Was WEEKS Ago!

Running a bike shop is hard. Running a blog may very well be harder. Certainly harder than we anticipated. But somehow we manage to come up with ample information and pics each week – so much so that we don’t always share them all in a timely fashion. Therefore we’ve decided to start a new mini-feature called “That Was WEEKS Ago!” (inspired by, yes, Rick James).

If you see a post with this snappy title, rest assured that what you are looking at is in no way up to date. It literally happened weeks ago, and we are just getting around to posting it.

Exhibit A: Andrew, Dave, Brett and Mike holed up inside Bunbury’s while their bikes chill out in front (it was very cold that day).

If you see any of these bikes on your rides, say hi! (or at least wave).
