Early Voting Dec. 1-12 Election Day Part Deux! Dec. 16th Frankenbike & YBP Dec. 27 10am-4pm Lady Bike Sun. Jan 4th 11am-2pm

The Triumphant Return of Lady Bike! It's been a while since we had one, but this January we'll see the return of Lady Bike! Lady Bike is a special shop for women, by women. Fixing bicycles and mechanics in general are often seen as male-dominated pursuits. Lady Bike exists to create an atmosphere free from such stereotypes and paradigms, and anyone who identifies as female is welcome. It’s been a long time since we’ve scheduled a Lady Bike shop. However, we strive to create a safe and welcoming space at all of our shops for everyone, regardless of gender and background, and there are female coordinators on hand at many of our Open and Volunteer Shops. Want to help make Lady Bike happen more often? Apprentice to become a coordinator! We're Overrun With Bikes & They're 10% Off Our mechanics have been hard at work cranking out bikes and there are a ton ready for you to come by and take home. We have everything from commuters to road bikes to mountain bike and more. Come by and take a look any time we're open. If you didn't know, we also have regular daytime hours from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Tuesday through Saturday. Tire & Tube Recycling @ YBP We mentioned last month that Yellow Bike would being taking over where Jack & Adams left off. This month, we'd like to announce to all local bike shops that we are housing a trailer for Bicycle Recycle to gather all your old tires and tubes for reuse. Frankenbike @ YBP Speaking of deals and specials and all that, Austin's favorite monthly bike swap meet is coming up, as usual, on the last Saturday of the month. This time, it will be taking place at our shop, which means all the bikes and bike parts you could possibly imagine. Come on by, have a beer, a slice of pizza, and peruse bike parts alllllll day long.
