  1. Five Boro Bike Tour, this Sunday!

    April 29, 2012 by admin

    Just wanted to give all you lucky cyclists who got a ticket to the Five Boro Bike Tour on Sunday: Our tune-up list is filling up fast, so get here as early in the week as possible if you plan on getting some work done before the ride. It’s first come first serve, but we plan on throwing as many mechanics at the list as possible. We’ll be working overtime all week to get you out the door and riding before Saturday night. We hope to see you lucky one’s soon!


  2. Finally…

    March 1, 2012 by admin

    Somebody pinch me… Yesterday we received our liquor license! Unbelievable, isn’t it? We are OFFICIALLY a bike shop, cafe, AND bar. We are so happy to finally have all the pieces in place for this crazy thing we’ve got going on over here.

    Thank you for all your patience throughout this. We’ve promised you all SO many times that it would happen soon. It started to feel like we were pulling your leg.

    But no more! It’s here and it’s official. So, to thank you all for your love and understanding, we want to invite you all to our first little shin-dig on Saturday night.

    A little music, a little fun, and a whole lot of love.

    So come by. Have a brewsky. Help us start this thing out right.


  3. Serious Coffee Time

    February 23, 2012 by admin

    Everybody, say ‘Hello’ to Collin. Collin, this is everybody.

    Collin here is going to be putting a fire underneath the coffee portion of this fantabulous place we call Red Lantern Bicycles. He’s been lighting firecrackers for some time now, so we are really excited to have him on. He’s got some skills… some SERIOUS coffee skills…

    We’re talking cold brew iced coffee, french press style coffee, home made alternative milks (i.e. almond, sunflower, yum!), and some serious consistency in the way we do things ’round here.

    Rumor has it, we may even start roasting our own beans right here in the shop. I can almost smell it…

    We need to start taking the coffee as seriously as we are taking the bikes. Fortunately, Collin has his ass on the rivet and his nose on the stem.

    SOOO, come on by and say ‘Hey’ to the newest addition. I promise you’ll fall in love.

    After the conversion

     

    We at Red Lantern Bicycles do a LOT of conversions. I’ve got to admit, though, this is by far one of the best.

    I gotta tell ya, this Xtracycle Free Radical has the power to change anyone’s life in a dramatically positive way. It’s so exciting to see something like this leave our doors. I hope we build 1000 more.

  9. Winter Bike Storage

    October 24, 2011 by admin

    Sick of tripping over the front wheel of your bike? Did your bike get buried in the snow last year? No storage room?

    Have no fear… Red Lantern Bicycles is here.

    Starting November 1st, you can bring in your bike and have us store it for you. We’ll tag it, prep it, and keep it safe.

    We’ll hang on to it up until April 1st for ya, if you’d like. But you can always pick it up sooner.

    AND, so you’re ready to rock n’ roll come spring, we’ll give it a $45 tune up and we’ll throw in a full cleaning for free!

    All this for only $125! That’s a little over $5 a week! WHOA!

    Give the shop a call or stop in for more details.

    Bring it on, Winter!
