What To Do In An Accident

1402-5a

Maybe you’ve been there or maybe not.  You could be the lucky type who’s managed to find your way down life’s roads without any major crash, wreck or notable incident.  But anyone who’s ridden long enough knows that no matter what precautions you take, what type of bike you ride, or how safe you think you may be, you’re going to have an accident.

We’re not saying this to be alarmist nor is this meant to say we think you’re not a smart cyclist.  Rather we’d like to remind you that on the streets there’s plenty of things over which you have no control.  And sometimes that includes getting hit.  Having been there we figured we’d share our experience on what to do in the event you find yourself in an accident.

We always encourage taking all the necessary safety precautions before and during a ride.  This includes checking your brakes, the air pressure in your tires, and lubing and inspecting your chain.  Here is the step-by-step of what to do if you or someone you’re riding with is involved in a serious accident.

How else would you spend Friday?  You know the drill, leaves at 8 p.m. so show up early! 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!

Why we do the FNR.

20160520-fnr-1

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
