Welcome to the Circle A Cycles project blog. I know what you’re thinking. Projects? Like, clean the kitchen? Arrange the receipts alphabetically? Finally return that hat to the mall?

We may fall back on such prosaic tasks, but our hope is to become involved in more community activities, to widen the definition of “frame shop,” and to ever-increase the number of people we are privileged to call neighbors, friends, and comrades. Because it’s never just been about bikes, or at least never just about selling bikes. It’s about getting folks riding, but also walking, talking, working together. Because the things that keep us on bikes – concerns about health and the environment, trying to live simply and consciously, efforts to limit our supersized consumption – they don’t stop when we go home. So in these pages you’ll get to see some of the other things we’re up to.
