Received a bunch of new R.E.Load Bag merch today. R.E.Load makes handmade, custom bags and accessories out of Philadelphia, and we love ‘em. Their bags are perfect for commuters, students, and have a lifetime warranty. Check out our selection:

Small Civilian and Civilian bags, in a variety of colors

Frame pads, which are reversible

Cell phone holders!

Come down to Halcyon and 12 South this Saturday for the 12 South Street Fair! Festivities will be happening all over the neighborhood, and Corner Music / Forks Drum Closet will have live music, demostrations, clinics, and more! Bring some canned goods to benefit Second Harvest Foodbank!
For our part, we will be painting a mural on our building’s 12th Ave. facing wall on Saturday. It is going to look AWESOME.

It is amazing outside, and we couldn’t be happier because today is the Bike for Branches ride! Our friend Thomas has done an amazing job organizing this ride, which takes riders past some of Nashville’s most beautiful and oldest trees. The coolest part is that all proceeds go to planting more TREES! Making Nashville even greener.
If you can make it down there, the ride starts at 3pm in Sevier Park. There will be a big afterparty at 12 South Taproom with New Belgium beer, food, and bands that will kick off at 5pm. Check out the Bike for Branches website for more info.
We hope that the Bike Film Festival in Memphis is ruling- a big ol’ group of Nashville cyclists headed west yesterday to enjoy the weekend of films, riding, and celebrations. Y’all have fun for those of us who had to stay back in Nashville.
Heads up that Tuesday will be our SIX MONTH BIRTHDAY! No plans for a party just yet, but come by the shop and say hi, it is definitely a day to celebrate!

This lovely tandem tricycle was recently stolen from the 12 South neighborhood. It is a real shame, as this bike was our friend Ed’s labor of love. And check out how many mechanics can fit on it! A real shame. If you have seen this bike, let us know!!! We will return it to its rightful owner…
