If you're just starting to look at Brompton bags or Bromptons in general then things can seem a little overwhelming at first. And if you've had Brompton bags in the past you may be noticing that things are a little different. The bags are just as amazing as they've always been and with so many options there is a perfect bag for everyone. And there's no more worrying about bag and handlebar compatibility, they work on every style.
The bags are arranged in three categories. The Metro is made for the commuter, with updated versions of old favorites and sweet new options like the backpack and briefcase. The Borough bags offer a bit more flexibility, while they work for commuting, they may also be better for shopping or a weekend getaway. And the Transit bags are designed to hold and protect your Brompton bike during transport and travel.
Looking for a bag that becomes a backpack when off the bike? The Metro Backpack in Medium is the perfect all around city bag. Made from recycled polyester yarn, and a 14L capacity just adds to the awesome.
Like to travel? The Borough Roll Top and Waterproof bags come in 2 sizes to fit any adventure. With more than a 25L capacity in the large and easily accessible outer pockets, there's not much these bags can't handle. Don't need something that big? The Medium Roll Top at 14L still has expandable mesh side pockets and a padded laptop sleeve.
You can find all of our Brompton bags and accessories here and as always, if you have any questions or want to come check these bags out in person, give us a call.

E bikes have come a long way in the last few years. They are no longer just for commuters or people looking for a little extra boost. There are e-bikes for every category and genre of bikes, from folding to freeride, road to relaxed, commuting to cargo, and yes, even gravel. E-bikes are for everyone looking to have extra fun, more miles and no excuses.
If portability, size and weight are important, then the Electric Brompton is hands down our favorite option. It folds down small enough you can take it almost anywhere. It's light, especially when you easily remove the battery that then becomes a shoulder bag. And, like all Bromptons they are hand made in London, and come in several color options.
Maybe you are looking to replace your car, get outside more, get groceries or take the kids to school. The Surly Big Easy cargo bike can do all of that and more. The Bosch Performance CX gives you all the power you could want and with the option for two batteries, an incredibly long range. Oh the places you'll go and things you'll get done.
Interested in getting out of town for a multi-day adventure? Or maybe you're looking for a sturdy commuter to tackle any terrain. The Cannondale Tesoro is ready for it all. With fenders, front suspension, 29'' wheels, lights, and able to carry two batteries the Tesoro is all-day comfortable, any-road capable and up for adventure.
Trying to keep it simple? If all you want is something reliable and easy to take out for a ride, get around town and run errands then the Kona Ecoco and Civia Parkway are a no brainer. Comfortable geometry, light aluminum frames and reliable Shimano or Bosch systems, these bikes make it easy to get on and go.
With so many options to choose from there is something for everyone. So give us a call or shoot us an email and lets figure out what makes sense for you and your needs.

We have some incredible mountain bikes available in XS and Small sizes(and even a few mediums). From high end hardtails to affordable full suspension bikes we've got you covered.
Looking for a trail bike with quick acceleration and the ability to absolutely dominate the descents? Then you've got to check out the Kona Process 134. With just the right amount of travel, a nice slack headtube angle and available in 27.5 or 29, the Process is all about having fun on whatever trail you're ripping.
Or maybe you're looking for something carbon, for that perfect blend of light and stiff to give you precise and predictable handling in every situation. Then to you we recommend the Cannondale Scalpel Hi-MOD and Scalpel SE LTD. The Hi-MOD boasts race winning geometry and a feather weight to make sure you crush the climbs and float over the rough sections. The SE on the other hand blends World Cup level pedaling efficiency and speed with all-mountain capable geometry and travel. No matter how you cut it, the Scalpel is a true trail bike.
Maybe you're not into all that "squish" and a simple, light and classic hardtail is what you're after. Then you wont find anything better than the Cannondale F-Si Hi-Mod. With a frame that is as stiff as it is light and zero compromises in components, there is actually no mountain high enough or valley low enough to keep you from getting to the finish line. Also the 2021 F-Si Hi-MOD 1 is available in every size!

We've Got Wahoo trainers and watches in-stock! While we may not have what the rest of the country refers to as seasons out here in the Bay, we do get a good amount of rain, if we're lucky. And while we do enjoy getting muddy and rowdy, sometimes it's just not in the cards. The Kickr trainers from Wahoo have been our go to trainer. They provide an unparalleled realistic experience on a stable and adaptable platform. You can find a link to all of our trainers here (and we ship!).
Maybe you're looking for something to track your workouts across all your activities. From the trainer to the pool to the track the Wahoo Elemnt Rival watches have got you covered. You can find those, along with other cycling computer options here. So, even if you're not feeling it outside you can still work up a sweat. Or if you just need to get out and away, you can stay on track.

Hi Huckleberries!
It has been a wild few months in and out of the shop. I want to thank you all for turning a tough situation into a great one -- everyone wants to get a bike these days, yes! We are seeing so many people getting their first bike in years, and we are incredibly proud to help you all.
I want to update you all on our plan and policies moving forward because a lot of people are asking how we intend to function.
The shelter-in-place order forced us to make some tough decisions about how we operate. Ultimately we realized that by operating by appointment only we were actually able to provide the best (smoothest) service to everyone. So we intend to continue that policy indefinitely. We also are well aware that we need to provide the safest environment for our team and for our customers, given the continuing uncertainties with Covid-19. So appointments allow us to control the number of people at the store and maintain physical distance.
Therefore, moving forward, our store will operate by appointment only. Yes, for everything. Even for a helmet. Or a tube. And certainly for service. We do not provide walk-in repairs. There will be some times when, yes, we can let you in unannounced. But please do not count on it.
We encourage everyone to use our Online Store to place orders. But please feel free to call us and ask about actual inventory levels on products.
At the end of the day, we are able to serve you best when we are not distracted by other demands. And given the ongoing challenges of the neighborhood in which we operate, we are not equipped to handle the uncertainty of what is going to come through our doors at any given moment.
So please e-mail us or call us whether you are looking for service, need to shop for something, need to try a bike, or need to pickup/dropoff something. Otherwise, please use our online store for all of your shopping needs!
Thank you all for your support and understanding!

After putting together a few custom gravel bikes with Lauf forks, we decided to become an official stocking dealer. If you haven't heard of Lauf yet, the Icelandic company came onto the cycling scene a while back with an innovative fork design. The Lauf fork is designed with a leaf spring that provides excellent lightweight vibration reduction, similar to a short travel suspension fork but far more responsive and durable.
You really have to ride it to understand how smooth it is. And if I haven't mentioned it yet, we have demo bikes!
To launch our new partnership with Lauf, we held a special demo event with about ten Lauf demo bikes for customers to try. We had a ton of fun on the trails! Here are some pictures from the day:
