We have a new bike shop in town owned by the guy who owns a food-delivery-by-bike business here in Sacramento. He has been participating in Second Saturday Art Walk. We went tonight and he had these vintage touring bikes on display.




It was difficult getting pictures of the entire bikes because of the crowd of people but you can get the gist.

The owner offers bike valet, a safe place to leave your bike while patronizing the nearby restaurants and coffee shop (next door). He carries (and plans to only carry) local, handmade cycling caps, and bags including some Carsick Designs panniers. He has some big plans for his space and wants us to be a part of it which is super exciting. He is a big fan of bike touring and is talking about organizing touring classes to get more people involved.

  2. Yes, I'm looking forward to see what unfolds because there isn't much of a bike 'community' here and he is working at building one.

    We'll keep posting updates.

  3. I can see that the shop has amazing vintage bikes on display. It's great to know that the owner or the shop is a big fan of bike touring and is talking about organizing touring classes to get more people involved. I'm sure the owner would help out a lot of bikers out there. Thanks for sharing this great post!
