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

Several months ago we made friends with the proprietor at Xian Cao Mi （仙草宓） an awesome chain of shops that make delicious Taiwanese treats. We chatted at length about bikes naturally. He was a big fan some of our previous projects including the beer trike we put together for Lazy Pug last summer. Being a big part of the food and beverage community here in Chengdu, he was hip to a number of other awesome little shops looking to get into vending by trike.  Read more

We like to think of our shop as the hub of community activity.  Not only is it a great place to come for bikes, service or picking up new parts, but we also take a great deal of pride in creating a space for our friends to share.  Outside of being big fans of bikes, we’re also big fans of good beer.  That’s why now we’re offering cold Asahi beer on-tap.  In the neighborhood and looking to quench your thirst?  Stop in and have a frosty brew and chat us up about bikes.  It’s a great one-two punch to round out your day. We’ll now be offering cold pints of Asahi for ¥30. Swing by for Happy Hour, Tuesday through Friday, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and get a pint for only ¥20!  You couldn’t ask for a refreshing beer at a better price!  Cheers to riding!

This is the next in continuation of this summer’s countryside rides wherein we explore the outlying areas of Chengdu.  You ready to escape the heat and the sound of the city?  Well plan on joining us on Saturday, June 11 for a day of riding in the rural reaches of the Sichuan basin.  Read more

As part of our customer appreciation special, we’ll be hosting a free maintenance workshop.  Anyone and everyone is welcome to attend.  Here are the details:

Starting at 11:00 a.m. sharp, this Saturday June 4th. Be at Natooke as we’ll give everyone a crash course in the basics of bicycle mechanics.

Learn how to fix a flat tire, clean and lube your drivetrain, adjust your brakes and a few other tips and tricks to keep your bike riding smooth.  Expect the course to run about an hour an a half.  Not convinced?  We’ll have a few extra free goodies for those in attendance!

Easily one of our most popular events is a bi-weekly night ride.  It’s slow and accessible for all types of riders.  We’ll utilize our cargo bike, converting it into a mobile stereo complete with self-contained 800W speaker system.  It’s insanely loud. Enough so to render the rider isolated, unable to hold a conversation with the throng of riders around.

We’ve hosted this particular ride, without fail for over three years now, rain or shine.  Lately we’ve used it as a tool for collaboration.  Through it we’re able to offer our friends and community the chance to explore new places in the city all the while supporting other businesses in town.  This is beside the primary fact that this ride is good, old-fashioned fun.  Read more
