Please! Please!! Register your bikes at BikeIndex.org
If the blue Surly with the fancy handlebars and HexLox security system had been registered on Bike Index, it would be going home with it’s owner, rather than leaving the shop with the loser who brought it in.
Bike Index is a FREE online bike registration. And it’s FREE! It works! I’ve returned bicycles to their owners using Bike Index. With luck, I can return yours if it gets stolen (which we hope never happens).

Please! I’m begging you. Please register your bikes!

Someone donated an old bike to the shop, and as I was going to start overhauling it so it could be sold, I noticed that the frame was bent. That’s the death knell for this bike.
At least the head badge gets to join my collection.

Nobody likes getting a flat tire, but everyone has access to Duct Tape! This is not necessarily a good thing. Someone tried to reinforce this tire by coating the inside with duct tape. Unfortunately, what happened was that the tape wouldn’t lay flat, causing wrinkles to form in the tape, which over time wore through the inner tube and caused a flat tire.

There’s always something new out there to make my job interesting.

It’s the First Friday art walk!
What’s that you say? This is the second Friday? Well I suppose that’s true, but the actual first Friday was July 3rd, and everyone was out enjoying the long weekend and celebrating Independence Day. (Me included.)

So come by on July 10th, the first, second Friday! Our gallery is open until 9:00 on Friday, July 10. Meet the artists! Have social interactions that don’t involve your phone!
If you can’t make it on Friday, the gallery is open whenever the shop is, so please come by and enjoy the art.

Saddle repair! This leather saddle fell apart on its owner. Rivets popped and the tension bolt snapped and disappeared.
I had to MacGyver some parts, so it may not be like new, but it’s a working saddle again.

The Bicycle Film Festival is coming to San Francisco on June 27th!
It’s an evening of cycling cinema!

I submitted my short film “Ninja Bicycle Mechanic” (filmed in 2018) to the 2020 festival, but it wasn’t accepted. You can watch “Ninja Bicycle Mechanic” by scrolling down to April 18, 2018.
