Last year, you went above and beyond our expectations and we were named BEST BICYCLE SHOP by the you, dear customers, in the 2009 Nashville Scene Reader’s Best of Nashville. It was huge for us- 2008-2009 was our first year in business, and to be named Best Bicycle Shop in our first year…let’s just say we have take great pride in the title.

The 2010 Best of Nashville vote is underway, and we are determined to keep our title. At Halcyon, what we do is a labor of love. Everyone involved in the shop believes that a bicycle can change a life, and that one changed life helps change the world. We treat each customer and bike with respect and attention, no matter if it is a $100 bike from a department store or a $1,000 carbon fiber road bike. We strive to provide products and services that are of great quality while still at affordable prices. Our commitment to the community is at our heart- from the Bike Workshop to our community bench, supporting local rides and races, and selling locally made products.

Please vote Halcyon Bike as Best Bicycle Shop! It is located under “Goods and Services,” and you have to vote for 20 categories for your ballot to count. Thank you so much and please tell your friends!

Oh man- temps are rising, the thick air forming, and the kids all know whats up. Summer time is upon us, creeping in and bringing good times with her. Let’s make 2010 the one to remember.

HALCYON’S GUIDE TO SUMMER LOVING

You gotta have a pool- and if you don’t, befriend some dude who does (we know one- his name begins with “W” and ends with “hit”). This year’s gonna be a scorcher, and you gotta stay cool, especially after riding around all day in the hot hot heat.

Your appetite will be strong from days of biking to the pool, so make sure to heat up the barbeque and fill yourself up on pitfire goodness. BBQs are all about friends, so if you don’t have any, you can come to the shop and grill with us. We usually have something grilling on a Sunday afternoon in the parking lot. But you gotta bring your own meat!

Plan your ride accordingly- summer time is all about America, and you gotta show your colors. Start early and get your ride in full USA Pride in time for the 4th of July- that’s when all the kids parade their wheels and you better be up to snuff.

Wiffle ball. If you don’t know, now you know. Wiffle is the new American passtime and your pitch better be on point.

Whatever this is- golden. Definitely on the summer list of good.

Don’t forget some good tunes, sunscreen, and your sweetheart. These key ingredients will insure your summer will be a blast. All this is making me thirsty for an iced tea, see you at the pool.

This is how a bike can change a life- bikes giving purpose, creating goals, empowering kids all over the land. All while catching stares with the outpour of creativity. Scraper Bike King, I think your East Oakland bike shop dream will come true. When it does, can our Workshop students kick it with your crew?
