special holiday hours...

I'm going to be hanging around the shop on Sunday 12/21 from 11-3. Come on over, hang out, enjoy some cookies or coffee (nothing quite as pretty as the cupcakes above), and share in some holiday merriment. That and maybe buy some stuff... lots of goodies on sale, especially clothing (most of it's 50% off or more), to make good last minute Christmas stocking stuffers. See you 'round the shop. Later on...

broken pump...

This weeks trivia. A simple question that requires a very specific answer.

Why don't the pump work???

Bob Dylan lyrics to Subterrainain Homesick Blues... last line "and the pump don't work cause the vandals took the handles"

Get it right and you get a discount. Come in with the answer by 4:00 Saturday and get 30% off any one regular priced item in the shop... that includes bikes too!!! (good through 12/13 - in stock stuff only). So far Dave H is the only one to come in witht the right answer, he must be the only one out there who knows how to use the internets. You have your question, get to it. Later on...

the trivia guy is wrong...

So... what if I said there were actually four guys that had won the tour without winning a stage. Would you hold it against me??? My guy Dave got the answer right... he actually got it double right by giving me the "other two" that had done it. With that, I confirm my poor googler skills and will take any two of the four guys to have accomplished the goal. Dave is probably on his way in to get his 40% off, be like him and do me one better and come get yours.

Two of the four and get the discount below!!


Later on.

trivia time...

Well it's time for some more Trivia. My buddy Tom was looking for some of the 'impossible trivia' I was thinking about in the last post. Well this might not be impossible but it should be a little tougher than "who's won the Tour 7 times??". Here it is...


In the 100 plus year history of the Tour de France, only twice has the rider wearing of the Maillot Jaune rolled into Paris on the final day of the race without a stage victory. What are the names of the two riders who accomplished this feat???


I posted late so I'll up the stakes on this one.... Come in before Saturday at 4:00 and let us know the answer and get 40% off any one regular priced item in the shop... and again, that does include bikes!!! (good through 12/5 - in stock stuff only).


There you go. More "where does he get it from" trivia for you guys (thanks for the motivation Tom). Now go get your Google on. See you around the shop. Later on.
