College Cyclery

About 5 years ago, Terry Cox (College Cyclery, Sacramento CA) brought the idea up to the producer of  Autorama to install a “Bike-O-Rama” custom bike show.  The idea flew, and continues to be a part of Autorama to this day.

A few months ago, Cox met up with some cool cats from Behind Bars, Inc., is a collaboration between TwentySixInch custom bicycles and SouthSydeCycles. The two joined forces in 2002 or so to organize one of the best custom bicycle shows to ever hit Northern California. As well as hosting bicycle shows, Behind Bars, Inc. is also a creative effort which will bring you apparel and goods for ANYTHING with a set of handle bars.

With a team like this backing Bike-O-Rama, you can bet the competition is going to heat up this year.

1. Ride your bike for no reason. The best adventures are sponteneous. The reason to ride are numerous: fun, excercise, meeting new people, seeing things slower, stopping at your local bike shops and coffee shops, and of course, the pure joy of just riding.

2. Take care of your bicyce, and it will take care of you. Here are some basic maintence things you can do easily to keep rolling with confidence: keep your tires full, you’ll peddle easier. Check your brakes, the last thing you want to happen on your ride is brake failure. Keep a patch kit, extra batteries and a couple of dollars for a candy bar in case you bonk out on a long ride. When it rains, put your bike in a dry place so as to keep it from rusting.

4. Leave the car at home and ride to work. If you already do, then maybe try riding in the rain. You’ll save money, get more exercise, meet more people, see more and generally be happier. More bicycle rides = a better quality of life.

5. Pull over for a stranger who may need help with a flat tire and help them. You will undboutedly feel good, help somebody in need, and be a force for possivity in a world that could sure use more.

We’re serving HOT CHOC, APPLE CIDER and COFFEE along with HOT POPCORN.
