Bike-To-Work week kicks off here in Flagstaff tomorrow with the Bike Bazaar in downtown Flagstaff at Heritage Square. We will be there with a booth focused on electric bikes. Pete Prebus of Electric Bike Report, Ted Johnson of Commute By Bike, Casey Jones of Ultra Motor and myself will all be there to show off our great lineup of electric bikes and answer any questions you might have about them.
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.
Submit Your Cycling Photos
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. Join us in creating a great resource for cyclists.

Bike To Work Week is Almost Here!
Flagstaff Commuter Snapshots
Bike-To-Work week is next week and with that in mind, I thought I’d post up a some snapshots of riders riding around Flagstaff this spring. Check out Flagstaff Biking for the full rundown on Bike-To-Work week participation and events. We are proud to be a co-sponsor of this years events and will be active in many of the events and providing plenty of coverage both here and at CommuteByBike.com.
Thorn Tandem Parking at the Radisson
My wife and I enjoy going on weekend tandem rides that wrap up with dinner at some location not to far from our house. Last weekend we went to Sakura a Tepanyaki restaurant at the Radisson Hotel. Not surprisingly, they didn’t offer their guests any bike parking. The stair railing turned out to be a good solution and I thought made for an interest photo.
The Suave and Sexy Josh Lipton on Outspoken Cyclist
My online ego has been battered by the posting of the least flattering image of myself that I can imagine. Our blog editor, Ted Johnson, decided to use an image from a recent electric bike photo shoot for a Commute By Bike post about my interview with Diane Lees of Outspoken Cyclist
Along with this ridiculous image of me, which could not be any more embarrassing unless there was some sort of pee stain darkening my pants, my ego was bruised by a blogging cyclist from the Philippines indiscriminately categorizing my interviewing style as goofy.
I’ve decided to litter this post with my favorite photos of myself looking good as my online rebuttal to my self-image crisis. In the Outspoken Cyclist interview, Diane kindly gives me the opportunity to go on and on about my work in the cycling industry and explain our network of specialty cycling webstores and blogs.
Go listen to the interview (starts at minute 42) …… suave or goofy?
Bike Parking at NAU
I rode into work with my wife last week. It was nice to see that they had decent bike parking facilities for the employees at her new job at NAU’s extended campuses building.
Little Red Riding Hood’s Grand Canyon Brompton Ride
On our trip to the Grand Canyon last weekend, we decided that rather than catching the bus to the start of the Kaibab trail, we’d park and ride the 1 mile rim ride to the trailhead. Folding bikes available in the back of the trunk are excellent for unplanned conveniences and adventures such as this.
Grand Canyon Weekend on Folding Bikes
My wife and I decided to take a quick weekend getaway to the Grand Canyon. We tossed the Brompton and Bike Friday folding bikes into the trunk of our Corolla thinking we might do a little riding. These bikes turned out to be perfect tools for tooling around the South Rim.
