B!KE: The Peterborough Community Cycling Hub

Something cool at the B!KE: The Peterborough Community Bike Shop https://www.facebook.com/communitybikeshop on George Street! In case you needed a reminder of how q***r friendly and safe a space it is, check out the new decor and drop by for great deals on bikes and so much more!

Also, stay tuned for details about their P(RIDE) Pride Glow Ride planned for September 24th at 7pm....

Check out this public consultation on the redesign of Charlotte St between Aylmer and Water. At B!KE we've been talking about ideas like a single-level, multi-use roadway that allows all road users to access and enjoy this deep downtown location safely - car drivers, walkers, bike riders, kids, people with disabilities. What do you think? Fill out the City's survey at the link in the post.

Charlotte Street East is set for a redesign building on a concept designed in 2018 which included:

• A flexible/festival street approach that can easily accommodate public events ⁠
• Traffic calming measures for a safer, more inviting streetscape ⁠
• New street amenities (lighting, benches, signage) ⁠
• Decorative paving surfaces and street trees ⁠
⁠
The City of Peterborough is looking for input. To share your thoughts, fill out the survey on the city's website through the link below before September 14:

We asked, and you provided. Thanks to everyone who dropped off a 14mm socket (or two). We probably have enough for now 😉😝😊

Last chance!

August 15 is the final day of our 20th Anniversary Sale. There are still some sweet rides in the shop, so drop by before 6 pm today and get 20% off any fully refurbished bike - and a new lock to keep it safe.

Seeking 14 mm sockets!

Have you ever had to remove a crank set? Chances are you used a 14 mm socket wrench to remove the crank bolts before pulling the cranks. (Okay, or maybe an 8 mm Allen wrench.) Having a couple of 14 mm sockets in the shop is pretty essential, but they do disappear from time to time. Before we go out and purchase a whole new socket set... do YOU have a 14 mm socket kicking around your basement or garage that never gets used? Would you be willing to donate it? We don't need the driver, or other sizes of sockets - just that precious 14 mm head.

Last week!

Our 20th Anniversary Sale wraps up at the end of this week. We've still got some sweet refurbs available at 20% off, so drop by the shop and pick out your new ride.

We're also offering 20% off on a lock with the purchase of one of our sale bikes. Gotta keep that sweetie safe!

Some long-planned shop improvement projects have been completed over the past month thanks to the dedicated efforts of Charlie, Rylan and Adrianna. Drop by the shop to check out our improved wheel storage system, reorganized retail wall, and bright new front window display bench.

Tonight we ride!

Join us for this evening ride through Jackson Park and the west end of Peterborough. We'll keep the pace relaxed but be prepared for a few uphills! Meet at Quaker Square downtown for an 8:15 departure.

Map available on our FB event page.

Sale continues!

Our 20th Anniversary Sale is still on, with 20% off all fully refurbished bikes. Check out some of the selection and see if there's a bike here for you! (More bikes in the shop.)

This Thursday! Join us for a sweet and relaxed group ride through the night.
