Outside Bikeville, Looking In

nathaniel@ttrbikes.com — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 18:09:27 +0100

Two reporters from the Charleston Post and Courier took a day trip to Greenville a couple of weeks ago, and this article was the result. I was really pleased to see that they took the time to experience a lot of the bike-friendly aspects of Greenville, and also to ride the length of the Swamp Rabbit Trail and visit a couple of the businesses that have grown up in its vicinity (including ours!).

Greenville Rec's Ty Houck and both Brian Graham and Andrew Meeker fromRead More...

Road Work Advisory

nathaniel@ttrbikes.com — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 16:13:32 +0100

Both our front parking lot and the lot adjacent to the building are closed, probably until Friday. The crew is pouring the new Hudson Street sidewalk in front of our little corner as I type. On-street parking is legal and available on both sides of Oscar Street.

Looks like the sidewalks will be in place when the new AJ Whittenberg school opens down the street.

Share the Vest

Come to the shop and score a new high-visibility Share the Road vest, now featuring the Bikeville logo, as pictured below. Stay visible and support your local bike advocates at the same time. Speaking of local bike advocates, you can rRead More...

Our parking lot is closed . . .

nathaniel@ttrbikes.com — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 19:06:25 +0100

. . . but our minds are open.

The City is putting in new sidewalks on Hudson Street, which will be safer for the kids at the new AJ Whittenberg school and all the prospective users of the Kroc Center, which looks like it's proceeding full steam. The immediate implication for us is that the parking lot aRead More...

The Earl of West Greenville

nathaniel@ttrbikes.com — Mon, 31 May 2010 15:48:20 +0100

I was going to post about the Critical Mass ride, but BradO did it better—check his out instead. Awesome post title, btw. I was happy to share the road—and the rad—with everyone there. Who needs royalty? We had cold beer, hot bikes, and good conversation. Thanks to Brad & Upstate SORBA, Meeker & Bikeville, Barley's, and everyone who showed up. See you next time!

Active Transportation

nathaniel@ttrbikes.com — Sat, 29 May 2010 04:09:55 +0100

Bike Month is winding down, and this year it's been a fun opportunity to raise awareness and gain momentum for the future, particularly since we celebrated here by opening the Swamp Rabbit Trail and—thanks to some forward-thinking city council members—by keeping some bike infrastructure projects in the city's 2010 budget. There was even a Critical Mass ride this evening, which was a great chance to get out there and see a nice mix of faces both familiar and new (picturesRead More...

Local advocacy and the Bike of the Week

nathaniel@ttrbikes.com — Sun, 09 May 2010 02:32:23 +0100

I've been wanting to do a Bike of the Week feature for a while, so I thought that Bike Month would be a good time to start. Sometimes it will be a bike that we sell or build, sometimes it will be a customer's bike, and sometimes it will be just whatever shiny object catches my attention that day. Here's the first one:

This is Donald's Read More...

21 days until opening weekend.

When you're out enjoying the trail, look out for these colorful folks. They sponsor laid-back, nobody-left-behind, stop-and-photograph-the-flowers rides on the greenway.

Speaking of group rides, the monthly Bikeville Greenways Ride is Friday, April 16. Friday's ride starts at noon—this time it kicks off aRead More...

Links, electronic and pavement

nathaniel@ttrbikes.com — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 20:56:59 +0100

This is the section of Hudson Street that links to W. Washington, which is the main East/West corridor in our part of the world. This stretch of sidewalk is new, poured the day this photo was taken on Friday. It's part of a general freshening of the Washington Street corridor that's going on now—new sidewalks and curb cuts, planted medians, fresRead More...
