Sadly enough, our mechanic Rob is leaving us for the winter months for greener pastures. Today's his last day in the shop. To celebrate he took the Big Ripper out for a spin. On and off the bike he's an awesome dude and we're not the only ones who feel this way. Check out this blog his friends made to spread word of his enigmatic character.

Our employee Pete is excited because we've just received a shipment of Super Pro sling bags from Bailey Works...sizes and colors galore! We even got a few with an added laptop divider section.

All Bailey Works products are made by hand in Portsmouth, NH, and are of legendary quality. Many of our staff use these packs every day-- a sensible decision if you're going to be hauling stuff on your back either on or off a bike.

Jerseys are great because they're comfortable, come in bright colors, and stay warm while allowing skin to breathe. Also, the ones pictured above are on clearance, starting at $14.95! If you're still riding centuries in a polyester t-shirt, or are sick and tired of the lack of pockets on your back, come on in and take a gander. They're hanging right above the register!

Pictured above is the Cygolite Milion 200, one of the two versions of the Milion that we have in stock. The front light, most experts would say, is the most critical light on your bicycle when riding at night. Oncoming traffic has less time to see you than traffic coming from behind, and pedestrians don't have headlights that illuminate the road. In order to maintain good visibility, nothing is as great as having a strong, reliable headlight.
The Milion comes in two versions - the 150 and the 200 - both of which are rechargeable via USB, just like an iPhone or iPod. The two versions output 150 or 200 lumens of light-- bright enough to be used as a spotlight. If you're looking for a great light to use either on a cyclotour or everyday, either Milion would make a great choice. We have both models in our counter case, so come on by and check them out!

Thanks to everyone who came out Friday night for Superb's grand opening. As the photo above shows, there was a huge turn-out - the place was packed! Even though the night ended prematurely, the raffle and hot bike contest was still completed. Winners were announced yesterday on the Superb blog as well as how to pick up your winnings if you won!

The registration for the multi-category "Hot Bike" contest will begin at 9:00 p.m., with judging starting at 10:30 p.m. by our celebrity judges (who are some of our favorite local frame builders).
