Store opening!

We heard all the customer feedback, and realized that we could have the most positive impact in the local community (Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Burlington, Greensboro, Durham, Raleigh, etc) by having a physical storefront where customers can drop by to meet us and see the bikes. We have leased a building, located on Highway 54 just west of Carrboro, and are in the process of setting it up. It's where Furniture Follies used to be (he was so successful, he moved to a bigger space - we only hope that we will be so successful!). We aren't open quite yet, but we expect an opening by mid-May. We'll announce a grand-opening sale and the exact location here, so keep your eyes on this space.

Items we'll have in stock in the store include:
- Hub motor kits from Crystalyte, Forsen, eZee, etc. We are in discussions to also get the Stokemonkey once that is back in production.
- Folding bikes from Downtube and Anyrider
- Cargo/sports utility bikes from Yuba and Xtracycle. We are also considering getting a Big Dummy or two if there is customer demand
- Cycle 9 electric bicycles, custom manufactured to our specifications to be light weight, high power, integrated electric bikes
- Accessories, including: Cycle Analyst, Down Low Glow, Bicycle Cup Holders, Bicycle Stereo, Safety Gear, Batteries, controllers, spare motors, riding gear, bike bags, etc.

Other products we are exploring include various trike configurations, Bakfiets style bikes, recumbents, etc. If there is a particular bicycle-related product that you think we should carry, just
, we'll gladly take your feedback into consideration.
