Mission Workshop Bags are here!

Now in stock, Mission Workshop bags!

The Mission is where we design, develop, and work in San Francisco. Our workshop was created out of the need for gear that out-performs, while maintaining a clean aesthetic appropriate for cycling, travel, and the daily routine. Pulling from our experiences, Mission Workshop creates bags that can handle a lifetime of abuse and apparel that can withstand the worst weather. Behind the scenes photos.

We carry almost everything they make!

Come on down and check them out. Evan will keep them warm for you.

Coming in this week - Sidi Spider SRS Lorica/Mesh

Coming in this week - Sidi Spider SRS Lorica/Mesh

Sidi's Spider SRS shoes offer awesome power transfer and support, and are as comfy as your bedroom slippers. All the renowned Sidi features are here: ratcheting buckles that let you dial in the perfect fit and feel, even while riding, High Security Velcro straps that hold fast, and Soft Instep Closures that eliminate pressure points. These fine shoes are made from tough, breathable Lorica with mesh panels and ventilated heels to keep the air flowing. And the integrated rubber toe guards and Sidi's SRS system really increase the life of the shoes even if you run in them. That's something cross racers will love.

If you have not tried Sidi shoes yet, your feet are missing out. No other shoe on the market fits and performs like a Sidi does. Come by our store, try a pair on, and get riding on some happy feet.

Not only is the Spider coming, but we are filling up our other models as well, such as Dragons, Ergos, Genius, Dominators, and more!

Check out our website, come by the store, or give us a call for current inventory.

We also have a close out sale going on all our older model Sidi shoes!

Rainy days wash your lube away.

Riding your bike requires regular maintenance. Especially if you ride it in inclement weather. One of the easiest ways to take care of your bike and keep it running well is to lubricate it.

There are many different types of lubricant designed for different uses. We recommend purchasing our cycling-specific lubes because they're perfectly formulated for your two-wheeler. This matters because the typical all-around lubes sold at hardware stores are often too thick or too thin to lubricate your bike properly. And, they'll usually leave an oily residue that can make a mess of your machine and clothing. Also, some products will attack the seals on bike components damaging your equipment.

There are many parts that need some lube. Check out our lubrication guide for more information on the hows and wheres of the art of lube.
