Do you love your bike?  Do you love riding it?  We do.  Tonight, we ride. A lot. The Tuesday night hammerfest will be leaving from the shop at 5:15.  The shop is closed for interbike, so don’t expect use of the bathrooms or to be able to stock up on GU. Tuesday night banditcross will [...]

Jackson Park kicked off the official Chicago Cyclocross season and, like any bike race in the area, we were there.  John Craychee managed to pick up where he left off… on the top step of the podium in 60+.  Congrats to him for taking an early lead in the series points championship.  On the other [...]

Fall is here.  The White Sox are in the heat of a pennant race, the NHL is about to start another lockout, and the Bears are still undefeated.  Nothing screams “early fall” like an undefeated Bears team. To us, fall is more than just irrelevant Cubs games (weren’t they mathematically eliminated in June, again?) and Pumpkin Pie [...]

Great turnout tonight!  There was sweat, there were broken parts… no blood, though!  The group seems to be getting bigger and more diverse each week.

Supersix EVO is: Light – [...]

The Bicycle Heaven group ride has been pushed forward to 5:30.  Should be a great ride tonight. Also, there will be banditcross tonight at 8:30.  More details here.  Extra peppy riders should be able to hit both.

Even if road season is nearly over and cyclocross season hasn’t yet begun,  this is the best time of year to ride a lot.  And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing.  We kicked the weekend off with an easy 88 Kermesse.  It wasn’t just an 88 Kermesse, though.  It was Little Nick’s first big ride on [...]

Tomorrow. Departing from the Geneva Caribou at 9:00 a.m. sharp. 3+ hours of pain. This should be fun.

Bicycle Heaven will soon be providing maintenance classes for people interested in learning to care for their bikes at home.  The classes will start simple and get more advanced as people desire.  It will be a hands on class that will require the participants to bring their own bikes, because its very important that you [...]
