Workshop Houston represented at the 2010 Art Car Parade with a wide variety of custom bikes and our newly completed Hot Rod Go-Kart.  We all had a great time riding in the parade and are looking forward to doing it again next year.  Thanks to everyone who helped out and especially to Baron Coker and everyone at MFR.Fluid and Air for sponsoring the Hot Rod Go-Kart and to the great people at JD2 for donating the tools we used to build everything.  Check out our Facebook page for even more great pictures (become our fan while you’re there)!

This Saturday’s Cookout has been postponed due to weather!

It will be next Saturday,  May 22nd.  It is the first of three  summertime Saturday cookouts happening at the Bike Shop.  We will be grilling and chilling and fixing bikes as usual, too.  We are firing up the grill around noon.

Mark your calendars for June 19th and July 17th as well.   A Big Thanks to Fiesta for sponsoring the summertime cookouts!

Over spring break we went to Enchanted Rock State Park for two nights of camping. We left Tuesday morning and stopped in San Antonio for lunch and a quick tour of the Alamo on the way.  We hiked two miles to our primitive campsite carrying all of our gear with us.  Wednesday, we hiked up the rock, and we went through the cave on the backside. Upon returning to our campsite we all played in the creek, had dinner, and then went on a star-gazing walk.  Thursday,  we headed back to Houston, with stops at  San Marcos for a quick swim in the river, and in Lockhart for some barbecue. All in all, the weather was fantastic, and we had a great trip.

Fresh off completing their low-riders for the Los Magificos Custom Car Show in the fall, 8th grade students Clarence and Mike decided to embark on a collaborative project for May’s Art Car Parade: a hot-rod inspired  go-kart.

The project is giving them the opportunity to push the skills they have acquired in Chopper Shop over the last two years and make decisions as a team.  (more…)

Happy 2010!
