Thanks to everyone who braved the rain today to try out the electric and sports utility bicycles. Johnny's is a fun place to spend a bit of time, sipping some coffee, chatting with the owner Ben, and enjoying a Guglhupf pastry.

We have one of our bikes located at Johnny's for the next few weeks. This is a standard mountain bike, with the eZee kit and an Xtracycle Freeradical installed. Feel free to stop by to try it out! Also, if you enjoy music and enjoy bicycling, make sure to ask the owner Ben about his I-ride bicycle stereo. These are neat little stereos for your bike, to which you can attach your iPod or other favorite mp3 player. We have them in stock, in our online store. (If you're a local customer, the Paypal store may try to have you pay shipping, but we'll refund it).

We'll also be doing more electric and sports utility/cargo bicycle demos, including Earth Action Day on April 26.

Keep your eyes on this space for other demo dates and times.

Every Saturday, Johnny's Sporting Goods in Carrboro has something going on. This coming weekend 4/5/08, they'll have a taco cart and garden sale.

If the weather is good, we're going to bring the bikes out for people to test ride. We'll have electric bicycles, folding bicycles, and a sports utility bicycle or two. We'll also bring along a few of the small items like flash flags, cup holders for your bike, I-ride stereos, and other doodads to enhance your biking experience!

We plan to be there from 10AM-1PM. Johnny's is at 901 W Main St in Carrboro, and the store is in the back.
