April Schedule and Shop Update

The shop will be closed during the first week in April. Here is the full April schedule:

Sundays – April 14 and 28 – Shop Open Noon to 4 PM (closed April 7, and also April 21 for Easter)

Tuesdays – April 16, 23, and 30 – Shop Open 5 PM to 8 PM

Thursdays – April 11, 18, and 25 – Shop Open 5 PM to 8 PM

We will celebrate English Day on Sunday, April 28 during regular hours. For this special event, we bring out all our English bicycles, along with our selection of used parts and accessories. New this year, we are also offering you the opportunity to peruse and purchase vintage, new-old-stock English parts from Raleigh, Sturmey-Archer, and Phillips! This is a great chance to pick up all those bits and bobs you need to get your 3-Speed ready for the Lake Pepin Tour. As is our custom, we will serve tea and biscuits to our guests, and the shop crew will head to Merlin’s Rest after shop hours for a little English fare and a pint of good drink. You won’t want to miss this special event.

Bicycles are flying out the door, so if you want to buy one, get to the shop sooner rather than later so you can get the best selection.

Volunteer mechanics are always needed, so if you want to help us repair bicycles, show up during shop hours and we will find you a bicycle to fix. Please note that we do not train mechanics, so our volunteers need to already know the basics of bicycle repair. If you aren’t sure, show up and ask to process tear-downs. We usually have some bicycles that need to be dismantled and that is a great way to learn.

Spring has finally sprung! We hope to see you soon at the shop.
