NY Times:A Busy City Street Makes Room for Bikes
By WILLIAM NEUMAN
Published: September 23, 2007
Cyclists and pedestrians never quite imagined it this way, but maybe there is a use for all those cars after all. The city is planning to remake seven blocks of Ninth Avenue in Chelsea into what officials are billing enthusiastically, perhaps a bit hyperbolically, as the street of the future...

To break open the holiday season we're doing a dry run of the build a bike workshop on Saturday, December 9th from Noon until 4pm. We'll be at our warehouse with seasonal music (and cold breezes blowing) building bikes for non-profits to auction, raffle or give away to kids. Come by to learn how to build a bike, browse the warehouse, sip hot chocolate, and enjoy the sight of Tank in a Santa suit. Thanks Freenyc.net and The Onion for helping us spread the word. Here's a map showing the warehouse

Happy Thanksgiving! - And it's on to Christmas, Chanukkah, Qwanza, Solstice - Whatever your mass market giving extravaganza might be. Winnie (just turned 2)is too small to help build a bike, but she still loves playing with me in the shop and using the tools. I thought this might be a nice thing for a parent and child to do together, or for someone to give as a gift. It's a great sense of accomplishment (even for me, after thousands of bikes built) to build a bike from start to finish, and the truth is anyone can do it with the right tools and guidance. So you can build a bike with our tools, at our wharehouse, with our staff watching over and teaching you how. The cost is the same as it would be if you bought a complete bike, and we'll back it with our warranty too. Give us a call to set up an appointment, we have bikes for all ages - so you can build a bike with your 5 year old daughter or your 75 year old grandfather. Happy Holidays.

Deb and I are taking Winnie for a ride on Sunday morning, Oct. 29, something to do with the extra hour since we know we won't be sleeping. We're going to give her costume a first spin. A bunch of friends with kids are going to meet at 9am at the shop (we'll have bagels and coffee). We'll get going before 10am and ride across the Williamsburg Bridge, past the South Street Seaport, 'round the tip and Battery Park and up to Rockefeller Park (a cool playground on the Hudson). All are welcome to join with their faeries and ghouls. We have rental bikes if you need, and some baby seats - drop an email to me if you'd like to reserve one so we know we'll have plenty. - will

To see so many of you at the warehouse this past weekend - literally hundreds of people browsed the mess I have created. We still have a bunch of stuff to go, so check the warehouse page for deals, and we're trying to arrange a non-profit donation - we'll keep ya posted. We've got a clip of the fun here. Thanks again for coming out and making it a success. We'll make it a point to do it again:)

A big thanks to Dennis, Nils and Hans over at the Fixed Gear Gallery for their once over of our CityFixed bike. Bred in Brooklyn, made for New York, tested in northern Michigan. How'd she do? Check out their review here. We like constructive criticism, but we love out and out praise. Remember, our bikes are custom built - so you can choose your wheels, saddle, bars, fork...

One of our CityFixed Bikes is being featured on this Morning's Today Show in a bike segment to acknowledge the last day of the Tour de France. Tune in before cheering Floyd Landis down the Champs Elysees.
