Hometown Bicycles

THEN JOIN US THIS SUNDAY FOR OUR TOUR DE LIVINGSTON TRAINING RIDE!

Fifteen minutes of fame with a posse of fellow cyclists and Hometownies… are you in?!?!

Livingston County Press & Argus will be on the scene at this weekend’s Hometown Bicycles Tour de Livingston Training Ride to help promote this most awesome of upcoming events.

As usual, our shop ride leaves at 8:00am from the Memorial at the Courthouse in Howell. The route forms a 15-mile loop that you can choose to ride once or, if your engines are really fired up, twice!

So that all of our crew can join the fun, we’ll be opening both stores late on Sunday:

Stay tuned to our Facebook page for ride details and updates!

WOW!! The response to our upcoming, September 26, Ladies Fat Bike Night has been phenomenal! It’s inspiring to see so many gals gearing up to become fat bike goddesses.

We’ve capped the event at 20 women, and are already halfway filled. So, if you’ve been wanting to learn more about fat bikes, now’s the time to register!

WHAT IT IS
At this event, fat bike wizard and rep, Jeff Buerman, will showcase several top fat bike styles, discuss the differences between them, and answer your individual questions. We’ll also cover essential cold weather gear that will help take your fat bike experience to the next level.

WHAT YOU GET
With your $20 registration, you will receive a $20 store credit, snacks and beverages (think, Fat Tire  Beer!), and a gift bag with some seriously cool cycling must-haves. PLUS, with every fat bike you purchase during this event, you’ll receive a $250 Hometown Bicycles Gift Certificate that you can apply toward your new fat bike, parts, accessories, or save for later use!!

TO REGISTER, CALL US AT (810) 225-2441
We’ll be accepting registrations ’til September 20. There is a 20-person limit, so please register early! Registration is $20 (which will then be applied as store credit for you.)

Last week, we gave a shout out to Hometownie, David Struble, who ran 3.1 miles in over 60 lbs of fireman gear to raise money for the 9/11 Memorial Fund. This week he blew our other pair of socks off after taking home Duathalon State Champion 2nd Place – Overall Male.

Seriously. We know the coolest people! Congratulations, David!

CLOSED WEDNESDAYS
