This sidewalk chalk mural was done by my wife at the beginning of 2010. I never posted this picture, but it seems like now is a good time. The little girl in the bakfiets still wants to know why her dad is always stopping the bike and taking pictures of stuff. We will be open [...]

We’ve got four new Velorbis bikes, a selection of Pashley bicycles, some serious baby hauling bicycles (like the Nihola, the Yuba Mundo, Gazelle Bloom 26), baby seats from Bobike and Yepp, Basil bags, Brooks saddles and accessories, Batavus [...]
