LATEST NEWS:

It is a strange world in Nashville today. Our beloved city has endured hours of downpour, resulting in extensive flooding, destruction, and death.

It is truly heartbreaking to watch your hometown endure a disaster on this level. If you are in Nashville, I hope you are safe tonight. For those outside the Nashville area, please spread the word on our city’s plight- it is getting very little national media attention, and we are in great need of help. Many people have lost everything, our city’s economic centers (the Grand Ole Opry, the Country Music Hall of Fame, Opryland Hotel, all of Downtown Nashville, our major sports facilities, and more) are under water, and the city’s infrastructure is fragile at the moment, with limited clean water, electricity outages, and government closures citywide.

Now is time that we come together and fight for our amazing city. Everyone’s help is needed- Hands on Nashville is leading the recovery effort locally, including volunteer sign-ups. Join your neighbors and help our city recover!

If you are out of the Nashville area, please consider donating to the Red Cross to help those who have been devastated by the flooding. You can text ‘REDCROSS’ to  ’90999′ and automatically donate $10 to the recovery effort, or visit their website for more ways to help.

WE LOVE YOU NASHVILLE, OH YES WE DO. WE LOVE YOU NASHVILLE, WE WILL BE TRUE. WHEN YOU’RE NOT WITH US, WE’RE BLUE. OH NASHVILLE, WE LOVE YOU.

Ah yes, springtime is upon us, and no longer are we bundling up everytime we take a spin- it is the perfect time to celebrate and promote cycling. And May is National Bike Month, so there are plenty of opportunities for awesome cycling right now!

Riders all over Nashville have created over 70 events, which you can view at Nashville Bike Month. Anyone can add a  bike related event to the calendar, so don’t hesitate to add.

We will be keeping you updated all month, so you can always check back here, but get out and ride!

Whether it is early morning rides, commuting to work, or cruising with friends through the night, nothing beats a bike ride in the springtime.

Warning- very long overdue proud new parents. Here are the most recent new parents of Halcyon bikes! Let the good times roll!

DANG THAT’S SO MANY BIKES! Promise to never do that again and leave ya hanging- and congratulations to you new bike owners!

Here are some photos of our most recent Bike Workshop graduates! Every six weeks, we graduate a new group of students, who have worked diligently to repair their bikes, which are all donated used bicycles. The students earn their bikes, and the last class day is our celebratory bike ride and ice cream day!

The new graduates!

The next Workshop session begins Thursday, please email us if you are interested in volunteering. Also, we are always taking donations for the program- bikes of any condition, helmets, tools, parts, etc. Drop them off at Halcyon during business hours- all donations are tax deductible!
