✔ Waterproof backing⁣
✔ Diamond-shaped fiber grid for exceptional structure & durability⁣
✔ Brushed finish for a timeless texture on a technically advanced fabric⁣

Getting nostalgic in the shop 🚲⁣

Local legend Dylan Tremblay stopped by with a stack of classic late ’90s / early 2000s bikes and frames — and it sent us straight down memory lane.⁣

As we roll into our 20th year in business, we’ve been reflecting on the last two decades of bikes:⁣
what’s changed, what hasn’t, and why we all still love riding just as much as ever.⁣

We’ve got this tiny slice of Dylan’s huge collection on display in the shop for the next month, so swing by and check out some real throwback goodness. This is just the start — we’ve got plenty more planned to celebrate 20 years of Rock City Cycles, so stay tuned 👀⁣

👉 For a deeper dive into Dylan’s collection and bike history, make sure to check out The Tremblay Show on YouTube — lots of great stories and classic bikes!⁣

What’s your favourite bike from the last 20+ years?⁣

We filmed this back in May — and now, as the year winds down and a new one approaches, it feels like the perfect time to finally share it.⁣

What started as a casual idea in the shop quickly turned into a full-blown challenge. We’d just unboxed the new Turbo Levo 4, with its easy-swap battery, and thought: “Wouldn’t it be rad to tackle an ‘e-MTB Everest’ with this?” We also wondered… “is that even a thing?”⁣

9,000 metres of climbing. One bike. One rider. One very long day.⁣

If you’re heading into the new year looking for a little motivation—to ride more, push further, or try something that scares you just enough—this one’s for you.⁣

Not your average Saturday morning ride.⁣

❤️ THANK YOU, NANAIMO! ❤️⁣

We are absolutely blown away by the response to this year’s donation drive. Thanks to your generosity, we more than doubled the number of bike donations from last year, and the toy drive was a huge success 🎉⁣

Seeing this community come together to give back is exactly why we love what we do. Working alongside The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive and BGC Central Vancouver Island was incredibly inspiring, and it already has us thinking about how we can make next year’s program even bigger and better.⁣

The $500 Rock City Cycles gift card winner has been drawn and notified! ⁣

From all of us at Rock City Cycles — thank you for making such a meaningful impact. This wouldn’t be possible without you 🙌

🎁 Holiday Donation Drive is back!
We’re running TWO ways to give back this season—and each donation gets you entered to win a $500 Rock City Cycles gift card 🙌

🚲 Bike Donation:
Drop off that old bike gathering dust. We’ll tune it up and donate it to the Boys & Girls Club of Nanaimo. Last year we donated over a dozen bikes thanks to you! Every bike = 1 entry.

🧸 Toy Drive:
No bike to donate? Bring a new toy for our toy drive and you’ll still get an entry into the draw.

🎉 $500 Gift Card Draw: December 22

Let’s spread some holiday cheer and keep our community rolling. ❤️

What. A. Day. 💥
Huge thanks to everyone who came out for the Cross On The Rock Muc-Off Cup on Monday! The vibes were high, the racing was tight, and the conditions did not disappoint. 😎

Big love to all the volunteers who made it happen — from the early birds staking and taping the course to everyone who stuck around to help with clean-up after the last lap. Couldn’t do it without you. 🙌

And of course, special thanks to Pete and the Muc-Off crew for their awesome support (and for keeping everyone’s bikes running smooth all day).

Thanks for making this year’s race such a blast. See you at the next one! 🏁
