We love when the stars align and someone comes in that easily becomes our bike family. Micheal moved to Athens last summer. He stopped in just to check out our shop and to get a better understanding of riding in Athens. He comes from a town filled with bike paths and commuters. He wondered, “where do the people ride?” We were able to give him some maps and point him in the direction of the Greenway and Firefly. After several trips to our shop he shared some curiosity about mountain biking. We talked about his bike options and he settled on the Roscoe 7. This commuter has joined the ranks of the mountain bikers with one of the coolest bikes around. We are stoked for his stoke! If you see him on the trails say Hi to him and take note of the very cool paint job on his new bike!!

VITUS I Rider Stories: Flicker Racing

A far cry from the secluded team buses of the European peloton, American crit racing is grassroots, hard and fast street racing amongst a feverish crowd. It pits the world’s fastest professional racers against amateurs skipping out on their 9-to-5’s in chance of an upset. It’s all about the atmosphere, the electrifying vibe – and no team epitomizes the scene better than Team Flicker Racing.
