Posted February 17, 2010 by adminBox Bike Smiles
Most of the folks that roll through the shop have never seen a box bike before. This is why we encourage people who are curious to take one for a spin around our parking lot. There is definitely a learning curve for most folks when they start charging forward, but once people get the hang of it, it’s all smiles. So next time you are in the shop, give in to that curiosity and take a Bakfiets for a spin.

Posted February 17, 2010 by adminBike Valet
“Keep ‘er upfront, I’ll only be a minute”….. Ever since we opened in May 2009 we’ve been offering free bike valet for Saturday morning farmer’s market patrons. We’ve parked as many as 50 bikes in a day and have come across some beauties. Below is a gallery of some of the coolest, jaw-dropping, silly, and inspiring bikes. As always, we start valeting bikes for the Saturday morning farmer’s markets at 8:30 am. If you ride a bike to the market, come say hi!

Calfee Bamboo Bike
The pictures with the cool looking trailer labeled “we share the same stomach” was done by a young artist touring the west coast named Maria Michealson. Her concept is awesome so please check it out here.

As we approach the new year we are starting to make room at WheelHouse for all the fresh 2010 bikes. So, all 2009 Jamis product will be at least 10% off. This is an excellent opportunity to get on a beautiful new city or commuting bike and save some coin. Supplies are limited and once they are gone so is this awesome Jamis discount. Not only is biking for transport healthy for you and the community at large, its healthy for your wallet! With that said, take a look at some of the new product we are making room for for 2010!
This jack-of-all trades bike can handle it all from long distance commuting, to light touring, to a fixie freestyle party. We'll also be carrying the beloved Long Haul Trucker and the workhorse Big Dummy by Surly. Surly Cross Check $1050 at WheelHouse
The Dutchi is one of three city bike designs by Linus, easy to ride bikes that are easy on the eyes. Linus Dutchi 3 spd $550 @ WheelHouse
What makes a fully equipped bike? Fenders, rack, lights, and a chainguard. The 2010 Jamis Commuter 3 has all this and an internal 8 spd hub to boot. Brilliant. 2010 Jamis Commuter 3 $750 @ WheelHouse

On Wednesday, June 24th, we at WheelHouse were honored with the presence of the Santa Barbara Burger Bus. If you haven’t heard, the Burger Bus is a rolling slice of heaven. They use local ingredients from folks like Shalhoobs (www.shalhoobs.com) and Our Daily Bread (www.ourdailybread.net) and create culinary works of art like the CBs and J, cheeseburgers and jelly. Check out their website,www.theburgerbus.com. They will be here at WheelHouse again this Wednesday and hopefully for many Wednesdays to come. Stop on by, eat a burger on the WheelHouse patio, ride a bike, and enjoy yourself.
