Bikes Not Bombs Bike Shop

New shipment of Nutcase helmets in today– lots of fun and unique colors and patterns in all sizes, including some we’ve never had before, like these three:

Thanks to Youth Instructor Ben for modeling the melon helmet

There’s also a new kind of security skewer on the scene, the Lock and Roll skewer from Zefal. It looks like a regular quick release skewer, but it can only be opened when the bike is upside down. Mary tried it, it works. This means you can lock just the frame in an upright position and not worry about that separate cable lock or special key for your wheels or seat. Pictured here is the seatpost version–the wheel skewers will be in next week.

Our winter clearance sale is still going on for another week or two. Lots of good stuff has been added. We’ve got the warmest winter cycling gloves in all sizes at 10-35 dollars off regular prices; wool knee, leg, and armwarmers are all -20 dollars off, a few of the merino wool baselayers are left at half off the regular price, and neck gaiters are reduced for quick sale! All of it is great stuff, the best there is, it’s just priced to move so we can put out the spring gear.

We’ve added some non-winter items to the clearance list too, including a group of big durable awesome tires in the 700×35, 700×40, and 700×50 range. Any 29er-riders out there thinking about slick tires should come check out the Big Apples and other options we’ve got at up to 1/2 off regular price. Just imagine how a 700×50 balloon tire would feel going over a pot hole. Pretty good!
In addition to that we’ve got some road saddles, folding bead road tires, and some miscellaneous but cool (baby blue and stars) grips marked down.

Once again, we’ve started our new spring schedule: open every weekday and saturday 11-7–with special late hours til 9 on Wednesday–and 12-5pm on Sunday.

You know spring is nigh when bike shop hours expand. Well here you go: Starting next week, March 1, 2010, we’ll be open every day of the week, including Mondays from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM!

A while ago we got in those Velo Orange french bottom brackets. Well now we have French (25×1mm) Headsets! Regard:And (in limited sizes and quantities–call us for details) the rather stylish-looking anodized Threadless repair bottom bracket for bikes with stripped BB threads, Swiss or Raleigh threaded BB shells:
In addition, we now have a good supply of classic french city brake levers with a 23.8mm clamp diameters. See and read about them here. Think of the possibilities!

These are just a few of the items in our winter clearance sale–come in to check out what other bargains we’ve got for you!

We’re offering some great bargains on good stuff: up to 50% off selected gloves and winter clothing, studded tires, and more!

It pays to keep checking back: We’ll be adding more to the sale as we continue to make room for spring gear.

Here’s a nice find. Used, a few years old but still in great shape, a Burley D’lite with newly replaced raincover. The D’lite is a step up from the basic Bee (which we also have, new) with a roomier interior. That means more elbow room for up to 2 young passengers.

It’s priced to sell! Come by and check it out.

If you know how to fix your bike but don’t have tools, here’s a chance to access BNB’s tools and workstands. All you need is a BNB membership OR BNB volunteer credit. learn all about it here:
