Hometown Bicycles Winter Clinic Series: Bicycle Safety and Equipment

AND SO IT BEGINS… AGAIN!

Shaun and I met over bike clinics, so Hometown’s yearly winter clinic series has always been near and dear to our hearts. But that’s the only thing nostalgic about this year’s series; we’ve got a new, dream room in a new, dream shop to take it to an “11”!

Our clinics are free, and we appreciate your pre-registration for set-up purposes. This week – it was all about the safety. Next week brings the MASSIVELY popular, two-part Bike Care & Maintenance clinics. You’ll get the 411 on keeping your trusty steed looking and working its absolute best!

Airing up bicycle tireBIKE CARE & MAINTENANCE PART 1 – REGISTER NOW!
Tuesday, January 12 from 12:15-1pm  -OR-  Wednesday, January 13 from 6-7pm
In this first of a 2-part clinic, we’ll cover tips and tricks to prep your bike BEFORE you hit the roads and trails.

BECOME A STRONGER & MORE EFFICIENT CYCLIST

It’s an absolute steal at 6 weeks for $30. Walk-in price is $7 per session. Classes will runTuesdays at 11am. If interested, please email soulstretch@gmail.com.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN HOMETOWN?
Vinnie from Pro-Motion Physical Therapy does… thanks, Vinnie!
Vinnie Baylerian of Pro Motion Physical Therapy in Brighton, MI
Here’s what we believe:

  • A bike shop should be MORE than just 4 walls filled with bicycles.
  • It should be a place that inspires, educates, and creates opportunities.
  • It should be a place that is actively involved in the local and cycling communities.
  • It should be a place that consistently raises the bar.
  • It should be a place that you are proud to bring your friends and family.
  • It should be a place where you WANT to hang out.

If you feel the same, then here’s how you can be a part of this revolution – become an “I Believer”! Your participation not only helps support the incorporation of these values into our new Hometown Bicycles bicycle adventure center, it also brings you special VIP privileges:

I Believe in Hometown Bicycles Gift Certificate perks
So, do YOU believe? Swing by the Brighton shop and become a part of the revolution!
