June rolled in on June 1st with The Wake Summer Bike Swap in Milwaukee. We had a blast at The Cooperage!
Greg and Tony manned the bike swap table along with several other vendors offering unique cycling gear, old parts and great deals.
Dave competed in the Gold Sprints stationary bike races including this "beer in hand" race against Colin!
Our buddy, Jeff, fronted his band El Wrongo shredding a punk/noise set during the races.
Thanks to Evan from The Milwaukee Community Bicycle Project and Vulture Space for putting this event together. Not just a bike swap but a bike culture event that you should hit up next year!
Jeff Valodine, an experienced cross-country touring bicycle rider about to embark on his 12th west to east ride, joined us in the Everyday Cycles Shop on June 5th for a personal look at minimalist bicycle touring. A robust crowd engaged Jeff with thoughtful questions and even very experienced bicycle tourers learned valuable information, especially about how surprisingly little Jeff takes in his panniers on 4100-mile trip!
Chumba USA just introduced their latest made-in-the-usa bike, the Sendero, and Everyday Cycles has a Medium frame in Black-on-Black coming to the shop!
The Sendero is a 29er/27-plus bicycle that is designed as a downcountry rig with a 120mm/130mm travel fork, a super short 420mm chainstay, stealth dropper post routing and a versatile Paragon Machine Works dropout for tuning the ride and exploring different wheel options.
