🎨💐⁉️ what color?! ⁉️💐🎨

We are looking to get hoodies made for the chilly temps that are SURELY, PLEASE LORD, just around the corner. They'll be printed with the classic RAB logo on the front. What color should we do for the actual hoodie? What sizes should we get? Comment what you want!

Our shop cat Bobbi wants to make sure you heard the news: we've got lots of helmets in stock! She says to remember that you should replace your helmet every 3-5 years depending on how much you use it. Replacement is also important after an actual hit to the head. Bobbi (and the RAB crew) want to keep your noggin safe, so ride by and check out what we've got -- Smith, Kali & Abus in a variety of sizes and colors. Ask for Bobbi and she will show you around!

✨🌞🍂 It is almost Fall, y'all!🍂🌞✨

Only 5 more Happy Tuesdays left this year! Come ride with us this Tuesday, and the rest of the Tuesdays till the end of September. Meet at the front of RAB at 6pm. This ride is a “Party Pace” social ride, approximately 9 miles, no drops! Social Supper dates in the flier, locations TBD. Check our Facebook & Instagram for last minute weather information.

Sunday, September 20, meet us at 9am at the parking lot for the KM Greenway. This ride will be approximately 30 miles round trip, an in and back out ride. We plan to hang out for about an hour at the picnic tables by the lake so bring food & other supplies you might want for that. We will return to the parking lot by mid-afternoon. This is an intermediate ride on gravel with several significant hilly sections. If you have any questions or to RSVP, please call the shop or send us a message via email.

Craft Night! This month's theme is trinket trays! This DIY project is a wonderful way to use up old magazines, and the final product makes a nice little gift. With the holidays just around the corner, you'll want to learn how to make these! As always, you can bring your current craft project and enjoy crafty time with friends.

💲🤑💸💰 Make Me An Offer💰💸🤑💲

Here is a sneak peek of a new idea we are trying.

MAKE ME AN OFFER.

Starting Tuesday, on these select bikes, we invite you to make us an offer we can't refuse. The bikes are too good to stay in the shop -- we want them on adventures with their new owners.

So take a look and send us a message if you see something you like. Or ride by next week and see us in person. We may just say DEAL!
