Black Friday Bike Sale!

Make the most of your consumer dollars on Friday and Saturday November 23th and 24th. Buy a recycled bike from Freeride Montpelier, and help support cycling, recycling, and transportation alternatives in our community. We are having a fall bike sale at Freeride Montpelier Bike Coop. Cutting our already low prices by another 30% makes this a great time to get a nice used bike for yourself, or as a gift. It will also support Freeride, help us make some room in our space, and help keep the rent paid and the heat on through the winter months, so that we can have all those great winter workshops we’ve been planning. Come on Down between 1:00 and 6:00pm have some hot cocoa with us, check out some bikes, check out our space if you haven’t yet been down. We are at 89 Barre St right next to Fischer Auto Parts, around the back.

Bike this Winter!

Winter biking is possible! But don’t wreck your nice bike riding it around in the salt and slush, come build up a cheap winter bike with us! Our winter hours through season will be Tuesday and Thursday nights, 6pm to 8pm. Learn tips like keeping your tires at low pressure to improve traction, and using a lot of lubrication to prevent rusty, frozen components. You’ve got to watch yourself on the ice, but it beats shoveling your driveway every morning!
