BikeSydney Events strategy meeting tonight

from the Bike Sydney site

BIKESydney is setting up a couple of working groups this year to focus some creative energy into some areas that need a bit of oomph. First at the starting line is the Events Working Group.

First meeting: Thursday 21 Jan, 6:30-8pm, Berkelouws Book Shop Café (Upstairs), 6-8 O’Connell St, Newtown

Aim

1. Develop a name for the BIKESydney social evenings (we’ve been having these every month but we’ve been calling them “social meetings” which is not appealing)

2. Set dates, venues and themes/ideas for the evenings for the rest of the year (we have three new films to show this year)

3. Develop a calendar of rides for the next 12 months – this will be a combo of regular (Twilight, full moon) and irregular (autumn bakery run, gallery rides, St Patricks Day) rides

If you have some ideas and want to get involved we’d love to have you come along.

2010 – Get a Grip!

We’re stoked to be back at work for 2010. We would’ve updated the blog earlier, but we’ve been hectic for services since we opened back up. Check out all our cool new All City star MTB grips. We’ve got heaps of Ourys, natural cork grips and Powergrips Pedal Straps back in stock!

Ben’s a lawyer, customer and friend of ours, who bought a new Team Blue SE Lager for himself. He sent us a cool photo of him and his new bike and his wig - Here Comes The Judge!

Check some of these sweet rides

The images above are just a few of the cool people we’ve worked with and cool bikes we’ve worked on this year. Thanks for another great one, and we’ll see you in 2010.

Deluxe Cheeky Transport Musettes

Mick’s girlfriend Maddy made us a bunch of deluxe musettes of our own design – they’re recycled, reclaimed machine-washable cotton, with a lining and an inch wide shoulder strap that also runs round the bag to give them some depth. They’re comfy to wear, straps are just the right length and they look cool. $25 each.

Rocket Fuel Coin Purses

We’ve got stock of some Rocket Fuel coin purses for only $10 each.

Follow Darryl – King St Cycle Bypass

Congrats to whoever made these rad signs that have appeared all the way down the laneway next to the shop. The lane runs parallel to King St, almost all the way to Erskineville Rd, and is heaps better for riding.

If you made them, get in touch in with us. We’ll give you some 3M reflective tape, so the signs show up at night.

I’m trying to figure out if they’re inspired by Run DMC.

The Ride Journal, Issue 3 in store

We’ve got issue #3 of The Ride Journal in stock – it’s a beautiful celebration of cycling in all its forms.

Issue 1 and 2 are totally sold out worldwide,  and these will disappear too.  Get in quick.
