Break In at The Shop

Monday night someone rolled up behind the Shop kicked in our air conditioning unit and rolled out with some important Items. I f anyone has any ideas about who would commit such a sick and seditious act please let us know. Here is what were missing.
Black Specialized Hardrock MTB
Purple used Specialized HArdrock MTB
About 2 Dozen assorted wrenches
Acetylene Tarch
Red Trek Road bike
and a few other items

Again if anyone has some clues we'd appreciate a heads up.

NEW STUFF

Thanks to the efforts of our latest Zombie Bikes volunteer Albie the shop is cleaner and more organized than ever. With this rejuvenation were making a few changes. First off were trying to get things a little tighter so were cutting back on days so that we can be sure that we can be there when we say we will. So our new hours will be 1-5 saturdays and sunday. Next we need more volunteers so that we can be openon more days again. We are looking for anyone who digs bikes and is willing to come out and help others with their bikes. If your interested come in during our hours and we will show you how it's done. Oh yeah thank you to everyone that voted for us as Folio weeklys best bike shop.

New Zombie Hours

So, We have had a history of having somewhat irregular hours. We recently had a meeting to clear this up, so here you go. Hope to see you soon. Also, if anyone wants to come down and learn some bike maintenance you can come during shop hours and shadow one of our mechanics.

Tue 1-5
Wed 1-4:15
Thurs 1-4:15
Sat 1-5
Sun 1-5

Bury Your Bike 2

So, we pulled it off. Bury Your Bike 2 was a blast and we want to thank everyone for participating.

For those who didn't get a chance to make it out here is a quick rundown.

Friday was a great start, we had an awesome turn out for the Critical mass. Cruising through Downtown and into Riverside, claiming the five points light and the rest of Jax. From Riverside we rolled over to the Spiral where the forty foot beer bong and Talk Sick Earth awaited. After an amazing hour of rocking out and a few games of foot down the procession ended at Shantytown for an epic Bike Pile and bands, bands, bands.

Saturday is when things really got rolling six pack attack, zombie hunt, Bangarang. When the sun went down things got crazy. For everyone that Hopped onto a tall bike for jousting, Your the Shit. Some got bloody most got hurt everyone had fun, then we danced through the night to the likes of Heavy Flow, and Biking Viking.

Sunday closed out with a few rounds of Polo and some BBQ over at Shanty.

This was a blast for us up at Zombie we hope everyone that made it had as much fun as we did. IF you missed it don't worry we will be back next next year and before then there will be many fun gatherings.

In case you still haven't heard..

Bury Your Bike II is coming up fast!! As in two weekends!!


also, there's two good bike forums up and running that art jacksonville centric.

One has only recently been started by a couple of UNF kids. Their purpose is to network with other bikers in the area, and to get some good rides and maybe in and out of town events happening. I think this is great as we know all too well that kids on bikes get bad reps. Especially, by people who are quick to label every person on a fixed gear a hipster or some kind of elitist. This can be rather infuriating, when really how does it matter? People. are. biking. How can you hate on somebody who is out there getting exercising and doing something that they love? How does it affect you if one person wants to nail down a trick while another wants to build the biggest fucking tall bike of all time?

Sorry, anyways props to people out there trying to network in this city where its so easy to criticize, check out the forum at http://904fixed.proboards.com/


the other forum is located at http://bikejax.forumotion.net/ and is a bit more broader in scope but still very Jacksonville pumped

ASDF UPCOMING EVENTS

alright big things coming up this weekend/week for the bike and community lover in you

first off, here's that flyer I promised you ----->

second, this Saturday marks the start of the Riverside Arts Market. With the beginning of this weekly cultural amazingness, BikeJax will be hosting a bike valet service, check out what he's got planned here.

Then, Sunday we're going to have a litte bar-b-que for all of us who weren't able to attend Slaugterama this year (which by the way, wish good times on the kids that are reppin' us in Richmond this weekend). But come out Sunday afternoon from 2o'clock and on we'll be cooking some delic food and playing bike polo.

If you can't make it Sunday for polo, we'll be having our second beginner night Tuesday startin' at 7.



And then--oh my so many events this week--we'll be having a movie night Wednesday featuring the Triplets of Belleville. Movie starts at 8:30, come earlier for an open workshop 6:30 to movie time.
