Our Spontaneous Social Ride this Saturday, July 16 will start in the Hutongs and pass by some of Beijing’s best sites, both old and new. Along the way we will stop in some of our favorite pubs! Ride length is approximately 20km. Wheels down at 7pm outside the shop.

Thank you to Dylan and Abby for their passion, expertise and support for Natooke’s shop and events. With their help, Natooke’s Thursday and Saturday night social rides were a huge success. We wish them all the best for the future.

The FNR is easily the most asked after event.  Now that we’ve been answering the question for over a week we’re more than happy to announce the fact that this Friday, July 15^th we’ll be back at it.  Seems like we’re swimming constantly with all these monsoon rain storms but this week is looking like it ought to dry out and make for a real good time as we roam the city streets.  Good vibes, good people, good beer. How else would you spend Friday?  You know the drill, leaves at 8 p.m. so show up early! Read more

A lot of folks work over the weekend. This means that the usual countryside rides and FNR don’t really suit their schedule so well. We’ve had a lot of demand to switch it up and do a ride mid-week so we’ve decided to put on another “chase the rabbit” ride.

The format is basic. Of the available riders, we choose one to act as a leader or “rabbit”. This person’s then responsible to pick a route (or not) and guide people over roughly a 30 to 40 kilometer loop. Faster than the FNR, the pace is brisk but easy enough for most to keep up with.

Curious? Stop by Natooke on Wednesday, July 6 and let’s ride. The best part is that each time we try to pick a new leader so we’re always bound to explore a new part of the city. Get out, exercise and see something new.

Time flies when you’re desperately waiting for the next FNR. Well, at least it does for us. Fortunately we’ve had plenty of rain this past week so it’s helped keep things from getting too hot and sticky. This means perfect riding weather! Join us as we sweep the streets with a group of over 50 riding buddies.

While it may be heating up outside, we’re doing everything in our power to keep things cool around the shop. Cool specials, cool events, cool rides and cool projects are always going on within our doors. In fact we’ve got a pretty strong commitment to doing nothing but the coolest thing on the block and we hope we can share that with you.  Read more
