A worker-owned bike shop getting started in Smyrna, GA.

Attention Marietta and Smyrna friends! Sam Foster, whom you may know from his recent (sadly unsuccessful) Marietta mayoral campaign has started a bicycle repair day, right off the square twice a month in addition to his regular weekly group ride! If you need your bike checked out, head over to the square on Second and Fourth Saturdays and let's make this a success!

I hate TikTok with a passion so I stole the video for fedi, but if you're on there boost it there too (or whatever you do over there): https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8qJYEQ7/

In Atlanta? Check out the Alex Pretty Memorial ride today meeting at woodruff park at 12p (long route) and east lake mart station at 12:30 (short route)
I just spent a significant amount of time wiring the bike shop for surround sound! There are now speakers in every corner (and a center channel at the front, no woofer). I can't tell you how much nicer working out here will be now!

Our community discussion #BikeNite starts in about an hour, at 4pm Pacific (UTC-7). I post cycle-y questions w/ Q1, Q2, Q3; if you answer w/ A1, A2, A3, etc, it's easier to match.

Tag #BikeNite if you want your answer to be more discoverable; follow it to see questions & replies in your feed. Boost & reply to replies to keep the discussion going.

(You can follow the BikeNiteQ tag so questions are easier to find, but don't include this in your answers)

Just updated my running round-up of Really Big Bike Trailers and (expanding to) interesting cargo add-ons for bikes.

Did I miss any you know about? Please let me know!!

Really Big Bike Trailers

carry furniture, construction materials, garden equipment... or a bucket bike?

We're considering stocking a small assortment of QuadLock brand phone mounts for bicycles and motorcycles. Is this something anyone here uses (and do you want any when we place our initial order)? Better alternatives you'd recommend?

New limited hours are settled!

Drop offs and pick ups will now be Sunday and Monday 8AM–8PM, with limited availability the rest of the week (after 7PM) by special arrangement.

Hopefully next season we'll find a way to bring in more business to support having the shop open more days, sorry for the inconvenience!

A quick update on the business: it's looking like we're going to have to wind it down, unfortunately ends just aren't being met. We will still have limited service available while we take other full time employment. We're currently limiting pickup and drop off hours to Sunday and Monday by appointment only. Other days may be available by special arrangement. Thanks for understanding, and to everyone who has trusted us with your bike! Hopefully things will change in the future and we'll be able to go back to full time in the shop.
