It is fantastic to see so many local businesses and creative minds coming together for a truly good cause. We look forward to seeing you there!

Here at Halcyon, we are dedicated to supporting companies whose products are Made in the USA, and encourage you to support these businesses who make an ethical (not monetary) choice for manufacturing. It can be difficult to find Made in the USA products at times, so I point you to A Continuous Lean, who have compiled a list of Made in the USA companies. It is by no means a complete list, but some of our personal favorites (like Velo Orange) are included.

There truly is nothing like Brooks…

Shangai's bike/pedestrian only highway

Have you ever said, “Nashville’s great, but our public transportation sucks” or “If only Nashville had more bike lanes” or “Why don’t Nashville’s greenways connect throughout the city?”

If so, please take a few minutes and complete this survey sponsored by the Nashville Metro Planning Organization (MPO). Our city is working hard to improve Nashville’s future in transportation, and it takes advice from people who use alternative transit (whether it be a bike, a bus, or your two feet) to ensure that our city’s transportation future is bright.

I mean, what if Nashville stood up as a truly progressive city and bankrolled innovative projects, like a bicycle highway? What if the greenways, which have improved the community greatly, connected throughout town, making bike travel safer and easier? It takes each of us as individuals to create a movement, and as my friend Brooke says, “Participation breeds revolution.”
