Lunch at Cul's

ALWAYS cool when one of these comes into the shop. Original survivor that our customer purchased new at Oceanfront Bicycles back in the day!

Here 'til at least 1pm. Come get a bike!

We're always closed Mondays, except for today!!! Here until at least 2pm today.

We're definitely a SMALL business! But with 200 new bikes sold & 250 tune-ups done this past year, Brian & Mark are getting after it!!

Yet another reason that we don't sell or service "affordable" E-bikes:

This fellow had been actively marketing new, high power electric motorcycles to kids as young as 13 on Facebook, often advertising them on the Boardwalk. The city of VB has turned a blind eye to this activity. With many people wrongly categorizing these vehicles as "e-bikes". Class 1 & 2 e-bikes are here to stay, but the E-Motos have to go.

I predict a real crackdown come Spring.

Never trail ride alone. You can always count on a friend (to get a pic). Even when they forget to see if you're OK (which luckily I am)!
