A Sensational Summer of MI Cycling

Hometown Bicycles at the Howell Melon Festival's 2018 Doc May Memorial Melon Ride in downtown Howell
WE’RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF EVERY GLORIOUS, MICHIGAN MOMENT…
Our shop and our Team are in full swing, carpe diem-ing the heck out of this wonderful stretch of weather, in this wonderful State that we call home.

Just last weekend, Hometown kicked off the 2018 Howell Melon Festival’s annual Doc May Memorial Bike Ride with its largest turnout to date! Our Team went above and beyond to make the experience spectacular for all, from planning and marking the routes (kudos, Tom Hermann, for the most complimented routes in the history of the event!), to manning Hometown’s courtesy bike corral, to running the ride. Thanks, Team, for the amazing effort!

Team Hometown Bicycles at the 2018 Assenmacher 100
Seven of our own also rocked the mileage on last weekend’s Assenmacher 100 social century, touring the farmlands and villages of scenic mid-Michigan. Can we get a “whoop! whoop!” for Adam Baranski, Jim Cleer, Robin Fry, Jacob Henriksen, Joe Ostervik, James Staples, and Vicky Vulaj!?

Bonus props to the brains behind the earlier “Eff Cancer Ride”, Colin and Cynthia Chisholm, who recently raced Michigan’s largest, mass start, point-to-point mountain bike event, Ore to Shore!

What have YOU done with your Michigan summer? Share it on our Facebook page!

Christine Addy poured paintings at Hometown Bicycles
Meet Christine Addy
In 2014, Christine started an in-home painting party business, after getting hooked on Paint with a Twist and Paint & Pour. But painful neuropathy set in, creeping from feet, to legs, and finally hands. Her doctor advised she give up painting, but Christine discovered a technique called paint pouring that allows her to paint without using a brush! “It is very therapeutic and relaxing and, like clouds or snow flakes, no two are alike.” Drop in to enjoy and purchase her bike-themed, paint-poured pieces!

TWO LEGISLATIVE TRIUMPHS FOR MI CYCLISTS

League of Michigan Bicyclists logoCyclist safety and advocacy have always been at the heart of League of Michigan Bicyclists (LMB) efforts, and they hit a double homer with their recent State House success… AND YOU ARE THE WINNER!

On March 21st, the House passed two LMB bicycle safety bills. The first requires that all drivers education classes/trainings address the laws and safety practices pertaining to cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians, and other vulnerable roadway users.

The second is the institution of a 3-foot, Statewide passing law – a compromise from the desired 5 feet lobbied for by the LMB. Still, it adds one more layer of protection for you and your fellow cyclists.

You can catch the details of these legislative triumphs on the LMB blog. Makes you feel like someone’s got your back, doesn’t it. Thank you, LMB, for fighting so passionately to keep all of us safe!


HOMETOWN’S VERSATILE RENTAL ROOM

Hometown Bicycles Community Room available for rentEvery now and then, I get the tickle to tell you that our Community Room is called the “Community” Room for a reason… we want you to use it!

When we’re not running our own clinics, classes, or trainings, there’s a generous 400 sq.ft. of fantastic classroom space available for YOUR use – whether that be yoga classes, adventure club meetings, Scout programs, or birthdays!

In just the past few weeks, we’ve been delighted to host:
•  Sparrow Freedom Project
•  Arboriculture Society of MI
•  Brighton Lacrosse
•  Local Homeowner’s Association

We’ve got tables, chairs, whiteboards, refrigerator/microwave access, and parking. We have a wooded trail out back and a large front lawn, in case outdoor activities play a role in your program. And let’s not forget that you’ll be at the world’s coolest bike shop!

So, whatever it is that you’re getting a group together for – pinochle or painting parties, club meetings or business conferences, story time or kids crafts – shoot us an email: events@myhometownbicycles.com. This may just turn out to be the perfect space for your get-together!
