Early season wake-up call

Brattleboro Bicycle Shop is back from vacation and getting ready for some cycling weather. We want to warn our local customers that we are already getting visits from repeat customers from more southern habitats and they are snapping up our few leftover bike deals!

There is plenty of cold weather to come in March and we are still getting in bikes to gear up for the thaw we know is coming. Most of this year's models will be on the floor after we sell the remaining leftovers. Although we haven't seen price increases yet this spring, all bikes have imported stuff on them and the dollar is sinking against the euro and the yen. It is inevitable that things will go up. If you are in the market for a bike and you don't care if it's this year's color, now's the time to scoop up a good deal.

Bike maps from Windham Regional Commission

You can now go to our regional planning commission's web site and download some very special maps—bicycle suitability maps, to be exact. These are maps showing hills, shoulders, traffic volumes, and road surfaces as they matter to cyclists.

parking in Brattleboro-really!

Probably the best parking tip in downtown Brattleboro these days is the Harris lot behind the Gibson-Aiken Center. We usually park here and more often than not there are 6-10 long-term spaces open. Hey, with the Transportation Center off Elliot Street there are over a thousand parking spaces within a couple of blocks of Brattleboro Bicycle Shop, and they're all FREE PARKING on Friday nights and Sundays. BONUS!

Southern Vermont's oldest continuously operating bike business

Brattleboro Bicycle Shop is a year-round, professional sales and service store right in the middle of Vermont's coolest downtown. We sell and service most types of bikes and support bikes as transportation in southern Vermont.

Our mission is to provide the highest level of person-to-person service for anyone who loves to ride bikes, especially those who prefer them to cars. We depend on cars, too, but Brattleboro Bicycle Shop believes the world will be a better place if the pendulum swings away from cars and back towards people.

Paint jobs from $199

Bring us your old, your tired, your weary steed with the blotches of RustOleum™ primer on it, and we'll have it back to you looking like a million bucks in two weeks! Options available for a fair upcharge include colored clear coats, metal flake, pearls, prismatics, and fades — but a single-color spray job for just $199 plus tax and transportation is pretty hard to beat.

Service Gallery — Dreams come true?

We like to let our thoughts linger on some of the bikes that pass through the shop. Read about this and other projects in our Repairs & Service Bike Gallery.
