The Ute's are coming!

Well a few goods things come from ending bad relationships. One of those things is finding a new girl that makes you happy all over again. I am always sad to see a brand leave the store and don't really like finding a new one, but we really lucked out with Kona. As I sure from you dilligent reading that Kona has some great cross, 29er and squishy bikes but hidden in the back of their catalog somewhere in the road section you will find the Ute long bike. Long bikes (or cargo bikes) have been around for a long time but unless you are a total bike nerd like me you probably have never seen one.

I have been pestering the crap out of our Kona rep to get a few Utes in and the two we got were sold in hours. My friend brad bought his in minutes... You can read some of his Ute exploits here.

Ok, long story short we have some more ute's coming in and if you are as sick of driving a car as I am to get anything bigger than a Chrome Bag then come check out a Ute...

17 Reasons Why Bicycles Are the Most Popular Vehicle in the World Today

So, a tidal wave did not engulf the store, nor were we sandbagging to hold back the flood waters, it's summer time people! We have been a little busy, working, riding and living. However, in my internet travels, I found a article that you will enjoy. Check it out...

Now go ride your bike!

I love ridding in the city!

Pittsburgh's own Urban Velo is turning one this week as Issue #7 hits the stands on Friday. In addition to giving a voice to those of us that just love to ride, for no reason at all, They have started a publishing revolution. You can download any of their issues on their website, they have a great blog, you can find them on Myspace, and their online store has a great selection of stickers and clothing. stay tuned for issue seven on their website.

So I'm an Addict...I can stop any time I want to...

So as you can tell by the limited Blog postings that we are really busy and any free time I have I would rather be on my bike than here with y'all (sorry, I didn't mean to offend).

One thing that has helped me through has been this song that Nick introduced me to. It seems like each summer has a theme. Last year we rocked out to the Gap Band (you dropped a bomb on me) and this year we are staying motivated with the Flobots. Check them out, you might just learn something.

Fresh off the presses!

"... you get a seven inch travel freeride bike that hauls up climbs like a hardtail, rushes you down rocky chutes with barely a glimmer of respect for the terrain then grabs you a cold beer and launders your kit when you arrive home. "

Check it out and then stop in and pick up your new Kona...
