The Doughmans

Tomorrow we once again have the honor and privilege of being able to participate in two different aspects of the Triangle's most prestigious multisport event: The Doughman. This year our race team partner is The Parlour, who also happens to be one of the restaurant sponsors and purveyors of the best ice cream we've ever had. We'll also be providing mechanical support prior to the race start, which means that the shop will not open until 1400hrs (2pm for citizens) on the 25th.

Bike To Work Week!

Bike Month!

Here's what's going on in Durham for Bike Month. Of special note to us is our ShopSponsoredSecondSundaySpin at 10:00 on the12th, afterwards we'll stop by theParlour for ice creams. Also, the Bike To Work Week Social at Bull McCabes beginning at 17:00 on Monday the 13th, where we'll be checking bikes. And drinking beer.

¡Superissimo!

Best. Mountain. Bike. Video. Ever.

Durham Tweed Ride!

Habitat Halloween!

Habitat for Humanity's annual Halloween Ride happens Saturday the 27th. A great ride for a great cause, and one we're happy to be providing support for. We'll be at both the start line and the Orange County Speedway rest stop, and while we're there the shop will be closed on Saturday. Today is the last day to pre-register, so if you haven't yet, get on it!

Ride Like Hell...

with SevenStarsCycles to see the almost assuredly terrible Premium Rush moving picture. At least our friends at Geekhouse back in Boston are getting some publicity out of this. We'll ride down from the shop to catch the 2215 showing at the South(e) Point(e) RAVE! cinemas. I don't know what time we'll leave, so get here early. Bring lights. And beer.

USA! USA!

Have yerself a bike parade. We're closed.

 

Tour De Fat!

The shop will be closed Saturday June 23rd because  we'll be helping out @ the Tour De Fat. If you were there last year you know why. If you weren't, you need to be there this year. If you aren't, we suspect you hate fun. Don;t be a fun hater.

Join us on Feb 12th @ 10am for the fourth Bloody Bike & Brunch! This month the route will be approximately 20 miles looping south through Durham, incorporating parts of the Riddle Road Trail, American Tobacco Trail, Woodcroft Trail, and Third Fork Creek Trail. The route has a couple of easy bailout points for shorter ride options. At the end of the ride we will meet up at Motorco for Bloody Brunch, as per usual.

Rest peacefully my friend.... you are missed.

 

¡Luchadoras! ¡Dos!

Seven Stars Cycles has long been a supporter of women in sports, especially regarding cycling and masked Mexican wrestling. In fact, the shop is sponsoring it's very own Luchadora, the mysterioso CrazyLegs (learn more about her here). Thusly, if you need bicycle related assistance this Saturday between noonish and three o'clockish, come on next door to Motorco, grab yourself a taco from Captain Poncho, some chocolaté y café from Cocoa Cinnamon, and watch CrazyLegs defend her title. Because that's where we'll be. It is not to be missed.

It's that time of the month...

Ifn's you don't don't want to hang around Mco you can roll with them and their musical bicycle posse for the Pride Parade and be featured in Momentum Magazine! Incidentally, they recently released their latest smash hit album Bicycle Pop. BUY IT.
Party starts at 1300 hrs.

Our friend Eric spent a few Saturdays in July taking some great photos of the shop. He put together this awesome slideshow, and is kind enough to let us share it with you.
