If my aunt hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you can fold this bike and put it in the trunk of a car! I would definitely buy … Continue reading Montague Crosstown mini-review
Oh, the places you’ll go with a bike & SEPTA
Several years ago, there was a lonely bus rack. Purchased by cycling advocates to encourage people to use SEPTA buses in conjunction with their bikes, most of the time this bus rack stayed in the back of a dark garage. We agreed to store this bus rack, which ended up being pulled out to the … Continue reading Oh, the places you’ll go with a bike & SEPTA

Offered – worn bicycle tires
I can tell you we tried. Our tire salvage guys haven’t picked up in months, and we need the space. So, regretfully, we’re bundling up old tires and leaving them for the trash men.

Trek’s back into e-bikes!
In 2009, PHEW! opened our doors and began selling electric bikes. In 2010, we began selling Trek electric bikes. Despite proving that e-bikes sell, we found Trek introducing fewer and fewer e-bike models each year. Last year, we had only the Trek T80+ to offer, and that too, in limited frame sizes. This year, get … Continue reading Trek’s back into e-bikes!
