    We're Finally Open!!

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Our bike shop is finally open! If any of you girls are in the metro detroit area, we'll be having our grand opening event on Sunday. We're raffling off an adult mountain bike, a children's bike, and a repair stand and tools for the mechanic and of course we'll have a bunch of things on sale. We'll also have free food and refreshments while supplies last.

    We've been trying to keep our website up to date but admittedly, it has been a struggle to do that and get the store open. It does have our location, hours, what the sales are for the event and details of the raffles. So, if you're in the area, come check us our on Sunday!

    To all you girls outside the area, thank you so much for all the support! It has been a lot of work and it was nice to read all the support here. Eventually we would like to have internet sales on our site but that just hasn't happened yet.

    Best wishes!

    I am so glad to hear that the state is getting a new bike shop. I'm guessing it will be female friendly too. A rare find, I'm guessing by my bike buying experience last spring. It seemed very hard to find a shop that would take me seriously and really listen to what I wanted. I finally drove about 75 miles to a shop not too far from yours to buy my new road bike. I'll be sure to check out your shop the next time I'm down state. I hope all goes well with the new business.

    lol, that's one thing my dh noticed whenever we would go look at bikes. I would say I was interested in a bike and the sales person would immediately turn to dh and talk to him about it. Basically, they assumed it was my husband buying a bike for me and I had no idea what was going on. It really bothered him a lot and swore he wouldn't do that to women when they come in the store. So if you do happen to stop in, give him a little test and let me know if he passes

    Kudos and Hugs Salsa!! I'm so happy for you! I know how much this means to both you and your DH! I'm sorry I Don't live closer to you but you're both close in my heart! I wish you all the best!!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    Congrats on the new store! I'm sure it will do really well. Especially when word spreads that its female-friendly. You will have 'em comin' from far and wide!!

    Congratulations and best of everything with the bike shop!

    If I am ever in the area, I'm paying a visit. Thought you'd appreciate the warning.

    You're getting there! We're about 30 miles SE of there. I'm not sure if you're from the area or where you're headed this weekend, but 696 is under major construction. It's down to one lane and I THINK is closed this weekend.
