Dear Customers of Paradise Creek Bicycles,
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving” -- Albert Einstein
Paradise Creek Bicycles is still alive and healthy after nearly 40 years because bicycles are timeless, and Paradise as a business has been able to change to fit the needs of Moscow. Paradise has had three owners, been in three locations (going on four), and has had over 100 employees.
On June 29th (the last Sunday in June) Paradise Creek Bicycles will change location and focus again. We will close the retail store on Main Street and have a "Last Call" celebration from 10AM - ? It will be a celebration of the space that has been Paradise Creek Bicycles since 2002, and YOU are cordially invited. There will be a potluck with two grills going. Please bring friends, food, drink, or a music instrument to make noise with. RSVP from the facebook site and bring your favorite bicycle story to share with me so that I can thank you for making the first 28 years of my bicycle career a success.
We can also talk about what to do next when the storefront is closed.
Starting July 15, Paradise Creek Bicycles will transition service and repair from the downtown Main Street location to Paradise Creek Bicycles Mobile Repair. Repairs will be from one of three service rigs, depending on the size of the job. The first is a city utility bus that will be used for big events and drop ins. It will be parked at community spaces such as the PARC ice rink. The second is a smaller truck that accesses smaller spaces. The third is an e-bike with a trailer for small repairs and campus visits.
I am especially excited about offering additional personal services like fit, education, planning, and repair. Get more info on how to get on the “Subscription" list at the party. We will also maintain a fleet of 50 rental bicycles from 70's Schwinn Stingrays to modern E-bikes with pickup and dropoff at the Latah Trail trailhead.
All of this will be organized, managed and communicated from paradisecreekbicycles.com. I will be alerted when you fill out and submit the intake form. Appointments for mobile repair will begin July 15.
So there you have it. That is the plan. I hope you, your family, and your friends will join me on the 29th.
Best regards,
T-Jay
