Hometown Happenings 2015: Chapter 1

Posted on January 8, 2015 by Shaun

Welcome to Hometown 2015

Well, well, well… 2015, we meet at last! This is going to be one HAPPENING year at Hometown Bicycles. On the agenda are:

• Celebrating 5 sweet years of business in the world’s coolest industry
• Opening a monumental Hometown bicycle adventure center in Brighton
• Participating in more events (If there’s an event YOU’d like us to be a part of, email us!)
• Creating year-round learning opportunities – clinics, classes, and crafting
• Launching new shop rides (If you’re interested in becoming a ride leader, email us!)
• Hosting product demos
• Other coolness and fabulosity, yet to be revealed

To start this year off right, we’d like to show some major love for a few additional Hometownies who took time to “Believe in Hometown” over the holidays (see below). Want to be a part of this magic? There’s still time for you to reap the very real rewards of becoming a Hometown VIP. For details, swing by and talk to Shaun!
