Tonight's group ride is ON!🥳

Off the Chain is absolutely the best! We couldn't agree more with everything this post says about them!

Stay tuned for further details.

This past weekend we had a blast kicking off our summer season of bike maintenance pop-ups!

Huge thanks to for hosting and for inviting us to join their Gear Swap event!

Despite the rain, bike lovers came out to work on their tires, tubes, brake cables, v-btake noodle and boot, rare brake levers, and chains! The co-op volunteers also did work on a sweet yellow folding bike that someone had brought to the gear swap.

We also received a very generous donation of tires and various bike parts from Bjorn Nilsson that was put to use immediately! Thank you, !
We'll be back next Saturday for the farmers market season opener. Hope to see you and your bike then!
