Due to popular demand, that and we enjoy working at the shop, we will be OPEN on July 4th. That’s tomorrow. 1-5pm

Due to the upcoming July 4th Holiday we’ve decided to move the date for Take Back the Bike ( Women and Trans Night)  to the following Thursday July 9th. Hope to see you then.

We had a beautiful evening this past Wednesday. First separated bike lanes in the town. Great start. Here’s to hoping that the next mayor rides with us a year from now. – P.S. Boston Square will be there running support a year from now too.
