Recent happenings have prompted us to suggest a new annual event... A national holiday called SEATPOST SAVING TIME. Whichever bike shop staffer is most often late getting to work (including the owner-no exceptions) on Saturdays will be assigned a special outfit (brightly-colored shirt & tie) –and go door to door on the first Saturday every March, reminding cyclists that it's *WORLD SST DAY*. They will recite, a la Adam West as Batman: "CITIZENS! Please remove your bicycle's seatpost and place your bike upside down for one hour to help any moisture inside the frame escape.Then, clean your seatpost; if your seatpost or frame is made of carbon fiber, please apply carbon grip/anti-seize compound to your seatpost. Otherwise, apply a very thin coat of grease. After one hour, replace your seatpost and mark your calendar for next year's World SST Day. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION, BICYCLE OWNER!" ••• They will then dash to the next house (if there is a fence or hedge, hop over it for extra points) and repeat. (note: this holiday does not apply to Brompton Bicycle folders) Stop in sometime and we can explain why. BikeRadar Merry Sales Co. Bicycle Retailer and Industry News

Here at we call this a “Chippy” tire… this Marathon has plenty of tread left, but it’s accumulated lots of small cuts—these can hold sharp things and give ‘em extra chances to pe*****te the kevlar belt inside the tire. Once a tire gets Chippy, plan to replace it! (We keep at least three styles of tires for Bromptons stocked at all times.)
