We are going to be opening our new store on September 16th, 2008. The current shop is becoming to cramped and we found the perfect new location right around the corner. It's right next to Spinelli's Pizza on Baxter Ave. We will be staying at the current shop until the new one is open.

We started painting the inside today, you can see it'll be a little more comfortable inside. It's not to big though, we do have to keep the title of "Louisville's smallest bike shop"

We appreciate the support that every one has given to the shop, we wouldn't be able to do this move without you'll. Thanks to Rick from Fitness on Frankfort.You can see in the pic that he among some other people are helping with the painting. Thanks to every body who has already offered to help too.

Hope every one is taking advantage of this awesome weather. It's nice when you get to ride and not worry about rain or desert like temperatures.

I had to get a new tire yesterday after I found a gash in my current one. There's been lots of good things said about the Kenda Small Block 8 and I was anxious to see what all the hype was about. After I installed the tire, which had a good tight fit, I headed off to Cherokee to give it a go. The first thing I noticed was how smooth it was, I was able to go into turns and the couple berms with a lot more confidence. It worked very well climbing too. I had no worries of slipping in the dust covered hardpack. I like this tire a lot for the way the trails are around here.

Sorry we haven't made any post recently. Honestly I've just been riding bikes to much and have been a little to busy to update the site.

I went out to the Cherokee Park Race this weekend, I had never raced before and wasn't sure what it would be like. I had an awesome time and it was cool to see a lot of people out there.

Check out Big Country's Race Photos by Clicking here:

We got in some things from Chrome Bags. They make a really good product and also have a bunch of color ways.

We also just received some bikes from KHS, including their CX 200 cross bike. Cross practice has just started and we've got tires in stock along with anything else you might need.

July 11th, 2008

Here's a write up on King Cage Water Bottle holders, it was in this month's Bicycling Magazine as their value of the month. We have been carrying these for a while now and they rule.

We also got in some new tires from Kenda, they're said to be extremely fast on hardpack. I'm pretty excited to try out the small block eight, I hear it's a really good tire. I'll let you guys know what I think.

Got a couple Sella Italia seats in too.

Trails should be nice this weekend, hope to see some people tonight. Have a good weekend.

July 5th, 2008

Check out this bike from Salsa, we'll be carrying their bikes and accessories from now on.
