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.

Sparks and Snow Flying

Written on March 23, 2011 by Josh Lipton in Shop Life

An interesting perspective through the shop window of Stuart grinding a railing, creating a bold plume of sparks.

And our demo A2B Metro E-Bike poised for an electric bike commute in the slushy spring conditions we are having this week in Flagstaff. The A2B Metro handled well in the slippery conditions though with how wet the roads were with slush and the forward position of the pedals, by the time I made it in to work my pants and shoes were soaked. I will need to test this more in regular rain conditions.

The Bar Mitts were definitely appreciated on this wet cold commute. My favorite combo of a commuting specific pannier on one side and a touring pannier on the other side (a RackTime WorkIt and a Lone Peak P-400) worked well on the A2B bike rack.
