This is a bike box, come get one from us when you make a trip. We also rent the hardcase ones.

SEPTEMBER 25th, 2008

It's starting to get dark a lot earlier, if your bike needs a light we've got one for it.

SEPTEMBER 24th, 2008

We got the new Dirt Rag in today. It has a feature on Western Kentucky's trail between the lake's, might make you want to plan a road trip???

CHEROKEE UPDATE

I rode Cherokee this morning, the trails were already cleaned up except a few spots. the main thing being a tree hanging over the trail. Looks like it could come down at any time so I'd recommend going around it. I didn't have time to ride Seneca but I've heard it's in good shape too.

We got a lot of Dumonde Tech Lube back in. I've used this stuff for years, it's one of the best there is.

We also got the very popular Knog frog lights back in stock.

September 17th, 2008

Here's the info for the Gutter Ball Bonanza. The ride starts at the shop, goes through cherokee and ends up at Executive Strike & Spare for some bowling sessions.

This and the Mondo Crazy Alley Cat Race should make for a good weekend. Make sure to mark your calender, you won't want to miss this ride.

September 16th, 2008

We were lucky enough to have power through the weekend and have completely moved in. Thanks go out to everyone for helping and supporting the shop. Come check it out when you get a chance and store our new number (502 749-6775) in your phone.

September 12th, 2008

NEW PHONE NUMBER... we are still waiting on the officail number for the new shop. I should know it Mon. or Tue. I'll post it as soon as I know what it'll be.

The Mondo Crazy Alleycat Race is set for October 4th! Meet at the the Pink Door @6 p.m. Those who enter are given a map of checkpoints to ride to and then race back to the Pink Door for the finish. It's all for fun whether your out for first or just want to cruise. Click here for more info.

If you haven't seen Seasons yet, you must check it out asap. Make sure you have time to ride today before watching this...

Attention Ladies!!! We just got in a ladies specific KHS Flite 220. It's their entry level road bike, complete with a shorter stem for a better fit. Come take it for a ride at the new shop.

September 7th, 2008

We just got in these pedals from Odyssey, they're made from plastic and are surprisingly tough. A lot of the BMX guys have been using them and putting them to the test. They're something different if you need a color change on your cruiser or fixie.

We also got some grips to match the pedals

Here's a video I just got done editing. It's from the Forecastle Music Festival and it has a lot of good riding in it. Check Movement out if your looking to see some more videos my friends and I have put together.

This kind of became a BMX post so if you want to check out our BMX site click HERE!!!

August 30th, 2008

We've made some progress with the new shop. The first day will be September 16th, plans for a re-opening party are in the works. There will be a new phone number you can reach us at, I'll let everyone know asap.

If you're needing a new seat for your bike we got in a full line of TEST RIDE saddles today. I use the rocket V on my mtn bike and the shadow V on my road. Come try one out for yourself.

We also just got in these MotoTec grips from WTB. They stay in place and they're not extremely thick like other lock-on's

We also received some more derailleur hangers from Titus. You don't want to break one of these on the trail and not have a replacement.

>>> Best of luck to all the locals doing the Ironman Race this weekend.

>>> The Mayor's Ride is this Monday, see you guys there. Have a good weekend.

August 17th, 2008

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.

August 15th, 2008

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.

August 8th, 2008

Check out the new Dirt Rag!

We've got some new parts in this week including King Headsets back in stock.

It's Cross Season, we've got tires if your bikes in need.

We also got these tube and tool holders from bbb if your looking for an alternate place to put stuff

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.

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

The site has been down for a couple a days while we were switching servers. Should be good to go now.
