Please note: due to Covid-19, supply chain has been extremely limited. We currently do not have any new bikes for under $1,000 and unfortunately, we are not sure when we’ll be getting more in. We promise we’ll keep you updated when we get more bikes in!

Please call our King Street Location, 717-461-3386 x2 to see what refurbished bicycles we have in stock that are at a lower price point. Thanks for your understanding!

Youth Bike Workshop is back!

This program serves kids in high school and younger. Youth pay $1 per used part and staff assists with repairs.

We've expanded the hours of this program to serve our kids and help control the flow into the pumphouse to keep things safe for our staff, volunteers, and your children.

Youth Bike Shop is every Wednesday from 2 PM - 6PM.

Youth must wear masks.

Please visit the link in our bio for the precautions we are taking to open our programming safely!

When is the last time you replaced your helmet? Ex

When is the last time you replaced your helmet? Experts recommend replacing your helmet every 5 years, just like car seats! Why? Because the materials begin to degrade over time and let's be honest...your head deserves a new helmet (maybe even one with a rechargeable flashing light on the back...).

We have a great selection of @kaliprotectives helmets for kids and adults on our shelves. Come in and grab one to protect your noggin!

Wishing you a safe weekend! We'll re-open at both

Wishing you a safe weekend! We'll re-open at both locations on Tuesday.

Thank you, Amy!

We said meh to flowers this year and YEAH! to veggies and herbs in our planters outside the shop. And what happens when you forget to grab a stake? You use a busted bicycle fork!
We can’t wait for these veggies to grow so we can feed our neighbors 🍅🥒🌶 #reducereuserecycle #keepitwheel #tomatoes🍅

We’ll say it until it sinks in:
Black Lives Matter.
We have some new and improved bike license plates available. Special thanks to @stonervoodoo for the awesome vinyl sticker action.
These are free at our Queen Street Shop. Please consider making a donation to one of the many organizations who are fighting for social justice in return.

Whenever anyone asks if they can buy a bike with training wheels, we always ask if they’ve tried a balance bike instead. Why? Because it makes you learn the hard thing first: balance! Not only that, balance bikes teach kids how to turn corners like they would on a pedal bike.
But maybe the best part is the confidence kids get. Dante, in the next slide, has been too afraid to ride a bike and lacked the confidence he needed to get on a pedal bike. His mom put him on a 16 in @striderbikes for one week...and now look at him go!
In conclusion, balance bikes are the way to go to give your kid the confidence and skills they need to eventually love (not fear!) riding a pedal bike!

2017....2020

Same Rasta loving Curtis with a new bike to match.
Curtis is one of those people who puts his heart into everything he does. He loves his bikes like they are family. When Curtis picked up his @marinbikes whip, he generously donated one of his OG bikes...and even bought new tape for us to wrap the bars with.
Curtis works hard and loves making his bikes fit his personality (and outfits!) and we are grateful to call him a friend and a supporter. Next time you see Curtis out and about, say “hi”. He’s simply the best.
