Montrell and Mike working on their first sewing project on our amazing new sewing machines.  Special thanks to Tamera Honeybourne for the donation of the sewing studio!!

Thanks to Green Mountain Energy (who donated the panels) and Standard Renewable Energy (who donated the installation), we now have a solar array installed on the roof of our building!

The panels convert sunlight into electricity and will offset approximately 5,100 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) each year, the equivalent of planting 150 trees or removing 130 cars from the road annually.

To celebrate, come by the shop this Saturday, January 24 and check out the events below:

Thank you to everyone who has been donating bikes to the Bike Shop! We appreciate your generosity and support, but we have no more room for bikes at the moment. If you have a bike to donate, please hang on to it if you can and hopefully we will have more room soon - check the website for updates! Also, if anyone has any storage or warehouse space to donate, we would be very grateful!
