February hours are as follows:
Sundays – February 5 and 26 – noon to 4 PM (closed February 12 for Blaine Velo Swap)
Tuesdays – February 7, 21, and 28 – 7 PM to 9 PM (closed February 14 for Valentine’s Day)
Thursdays – February 2, 9, 16, and 23 – 7 PM to 9 PM
We will be closed on Sunday, February 12 for the Blaine Velo Bike Swap at the Schwann Center at the National Sports Center in Blaine. We will have a table there with lots of cool stuff for sale. Doors open at 9 AM and the event runs until 2 PM. We also will have an extra table for a benefit for Jamie McDonald, who is the owner of Sunrise Cyclery. He and his family have had a very rough year, so it is time to show some love. A bunch of indie bike shops have kicked in some cool merchandise for the table. Proceeds from all merch on the table will be given to Jamie. If you want to donate anything, contact me ASAP.
We have not decided yet if we will open on Sunday, February 19. For now, assume we will be closed. If we decide to open we will post here and on our Facebook page.
Right now we plan to have work night every Wednesday in February beginning at 6 PM and running until around 9 PM. The shop is not open for sales, but volunteers may come to help. Come to the back door of the store.
The bicycle count for January so far is 51! That is our biggest January since we opened the store and gets us off to a roaring start. We also sold enough stuff to make January rent, which in the bicycle business is fantastic. Thanks to all our customers, especially the regulars whose purchases help us keep the doors open. A huge thanks to our volunteers who helped us wipe out our wait list. However, we got a bunch of requests over this past weekend so it is back up to about 12. We are now trying to build bicycles to get ready for the spring rush, so we still want mechanics. We hope to see you soon at the shop.
