Hometown’s Christmas Countdown

Christmas bicycles at Hometown Bicycles

At t-minus 3 days and counting, it’s looking just like “a picture print of Currier & Ives” here in the store – with the nostalgia of bicycles turtledoving charmingly with the artistic beauty of new technology. We know you can hardly stand to wait… our back room is filling up with Christmas bicycles that we’re storing away from prying eyes ’til Christmas Eve (you’re welcome, Santa!) Could a bike for you be among them??

Christmas Cyclists, Ornament Making, and Lots of Love

Posted on December 14, 2016 by Shaun
 Christmas lights at Hometown Bicycles

HOMETOWN BICYCLES CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR’S HOURS: 
Christmas Eve  |  9AM – 3PM
Christmas Day through New Year’s Day  |  CLOSED*
Monday, January 2nd  |  9AM – 9PM (regular hours)
It’s always been our tradition to make the Christmas season about family… well, actually we make EVERY day about family – but especially between Christmas and New Year’s, we close the shop so that our crew can spend quality time with their loved ones.

* So why, you are wondering, do we have a big, ol’ highlighted asterisk next to “CLOSED”? It’s because this year, there will be a couple exceptions, when Shaun and I open the shop briefly for classes held in our Community Room. Post-Christmas, we’ll be NEEDING Cardio Drumming to burn off cookies, and Yoga to melt away holiday stress! Please drop by to participate, or even just to tell us what Santa put under your tree!

WE WILL BE OPEN:

Wednesday, December 28th from 6PM – 8PM
for Cardio Drumming with Martha Soraruf

Friday, December 30th from 9AM – 10AM
for Dynamic Yoga with Ashley Knuth of Tocca Massage & Yoga
