James is attempting to break the record for circumnavigating the world on a bicycle in order to raise 1.8 million pounds for Parkinson’s research. Check out his awesome website! www.globecycle.org

We have more used bikes now then we will probably have for the rest of the season. A huge variety of sizes  and styles of used road bikes, new old stock touring bikes, road bikes, and hybrids. Lots of mountain bikes and cruisers too.  This is a great time to come look for a bicycle.

We are open today during the 21st annual Neighborhood to Neighborhood street Festival. Baltimore avenue is closed to cars so you may have to park a few blocks away and walk. But we are open for business; come out and enjoy the music and food.

A nice french men’s city cruiser from 1955. The red paint is very well-preserved with great box-lining. Has the original Automoto saddle, what appear to be the original tires and the generator lights both work perfectly. The constructeur-style rack is also a nice touch. Automoto built bikes from 1902 to 1962 A nice example of french craftsmanship.

Come to a screening of Gasland on the porch of Firehouse Bicycles.
