This is my “day in the life of” picture of our blogger-in-chief, Ted Johnson most likely clicking and tapping away at a CommuteByBike.com post. So many mouse clicks and keyboard taps………..
Bike Shop Hub Center:
This section of our blog focuses on what we are up to here at the shop. Along with announcements of new products and sales, we talk about the daily grind... errr I mean the 24 hour party here at Bike Shop Hub. We discuss various aspects of being involved in the bicycle industry and talk about the cycling community here in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Here at the Bike Shop Hub we are big fans of collecting photos of the cycling products that we love in use. The Bike Shop Hub Blog is really driven by your photos and stories of your cycling experiences. We specifically are after user photos to publish in the 4 sections of the Bike Shop Hub blog: Bike Trailer Blog, Epic Bike Tours, Bike Tech Blog and Family Cycling Blog.

Burley Tandem Enjoying a Martans Brunch
We just kicked off a Burley Trailers Sale and I thought I’d post this photo of a Burley Tandem in front of one of Flagstaff’s favorite restaurant’s Martans. Burley stopped making their tandems a few years back to focus primarily on their great trailers. Pick up a Burley Child, Cargo or Dog Trailer now thru Sept 27th at 10% off.
Bike Shop Hub Rack Installed
Stu’s awesome Bike Shop Hub bike rack has been out glittering in the sun for the past week and a half. We’re finishing off a removable section which will have the Bike Shop Hub lettering on it for photos and events. We couldn’t make it permanent as that would make it into a sign that would have to be permitted. Come on by the shop lock up your bike and have a look around.
Flagstaff Summer Bike Commuters
A couple of snapshots of cyclists breezing by in the Flagstaff summer air. Don’t let the summer pass you by without making sure to get in some good riding yourself…
Commute by Bike Taxi
I was in New York City about a month ago, and I was really impressed by how many bike taxis there were. It really appears that bike taxis are taking over the city. It got me wondering what were the forces behind this strongly emerging trend. I suspect some combination of economic, fashion and environmentalism. I’m guessing that easy permitting by NYC authorities is certainly helping the trend. Either way, I’m glad to see that New Yorkers are getting on bikes more and more whether its riding a bike themselves or commuting by bike taxi.
Ted’s Vapid Vacation
I took a vacation from Commute by Bike earlier this month, and turned it into five posts on Commute by Bike.
One of the highlights was a visit to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. This is my wife, Cyd, turning one of nature’s wonders into a Bike Shop Hub advertisement:
Oh Cyd, how crass!
Truthfully, we took a couple versions of this shot with me holding the bottle. Looking them over, I had to finally admit that she’s cuter than I am.
Here are the five posts on Commute by Bike:
Ted Modeling the Wearable BackTpack Panniers
We got in a pair of this interesting hybrid of panniers and a backpack called aBackTpack. As Ted was proudly showing off this amazing piece of innovation our entire staff worked hard on mocking him incessantly. Was this a man purse for construction workers and was its use just nerdy or ultra nerdy. With them on Ted looks like he is ready to change baby diapers while redoing the plumbing. Lookout for Karen’s real but not guaranteed to be “mock free” review forthcoming at CommuteByBike.com.
