New Merchandise: The Bike Cave T-shirts and Bandannas

The Bike Cave is excited about our new merchandise; freshly printed graphic tees and bandannas by Phil Ross of Straight Printing. Check out the company's Facebook to learn more about what Straight printing can do for you.

The T-shirts are available in Green Teal, and Periwinkle. They feature a "skull and crossbones" made from cogs, chain parts, a wrench, and a bike polo mallet. 15.00

Pick up a bandanna for only 5.00. Fly them from your bike, get your dog to model them, or simply pocket them to wipe that hot afternoon sun from your brow.

Since opening The Bike Cave also carries various other products such as spoke cards by Ian Stewart, Aftermass and Never Give Up posters, Yehuda Moon comic books, used clip-less shoes, and the Chainbreaker Bike Book. We also carry a variety of free literature, patches, and zines from Microcosm Publishing. We also have one free helmet to give away, courtesy of Bike Wichita. In the future, we hope to provide the public with free bicycle helmets on a regular basis. 

Fancy wheels you got there, buddy. Wish I had that sweet looking spoke card.

I don't know how to fix anything on my friggin' bike

and not even God knows where I should start.

CHAINBREAKER BIKE BOOK, 15.00

Excuse me, I need to satiate my love for bicycle riding

as well as my love for comic books

without the two being mutually exclusive.

The Bike Cave Voted as HWC's Bike Friendly Business

Congratulations to us! The Health and Wellness Coalition of Wichita has named us a Bike Friendly Business in Wichitawesome Wichita, Kansas. Albeit we didn't do much except love bicycles, work on bikes, love bikes, sell bikes, give away bikes, love bikes, and host clinics all about bikes. Did I mention that we love bikes? Good. I wanted to make that clear. The Bike Cave gladly rubs shoulders with such local businesses as Picasso's Pizzeria, The Anchor, Wichita Pottery, and many other great locations.

As mentioned in previous posts, the HWC has been a major advocate this past month in promoting bicycle riding for recreational and commuting purposes. We're both saddened and relieved that Bike Month is over, but we look forward to planning more helpful events for next year. Look forward to many of our future Maintenance Clinics to keep your cycling momentum going as well as opportunities to meet our staff at future fundraising events. The Bike Cave is hosting a basic Maintenance Clinic next Wednesday, June 6th, 5pm. Thanks again to the Health and Wellness Coalition of Wichita for their recognition.

The Wichita Bicycle Friendly Business campaign honors businesses, corporations, organizations, associations, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations that actively promote bicycling.
