Here's our Sunday Wrapup
- Our 2021 Spring Previews are out (will be linked below
- Bike shortages will be a real thing this year. We're already feeling it with some brands.
- We're upset/scared/frustrated about Covid, and are limiting appointments to urgent repairs only.

So many amazing choices to have fun with your family while getting stuff done. Our family is rolling with a Larry vs Harry Bullitt, and a Tern GSD in 2021. https://t.co/mwC2oeDbru
Cargo Bikes for Business -->
This is a new opportunity for local businesses to take advantage of an incredible $2000 grant toward an electric cargo bike. We're here to consult with you on the best way to move your business forward, on a bike!

And finally, our Covid operations update. We're staying home, unless you need us. We're here for urgent repairs by appointment (did about six of these yesterday), and trying to do most of our consults for new bikes by email and phone.

While we're hoping vaccine rollouts continue, we're not anticipating "back to normal" anytime soon. All services will be by appointment until we reach #CovidZero. Mobile bike repair will return and expand in the spring.
Cafe will be closed (again... sigh...).
We're excited about a *lot* of things in 2021. You'll meet some new faces in the store (we'll be hiring soon). We'll hopefully be able to do community events/rides again. And maybe, just maybe, see yourself on a bike in a way you didn't think was possible. Cheers to a new year.

I should mention, this is why I keep talking about this. Because I know so many people who legally CAN'T.

How do I know they have NDAs, if they can't talk legally about them? Because they trusted me with their secrets... after I said something. That's how they knew I was safe.


Some of the people who have reached out to me privately have been sitting with the pain of what happened to them and the regret that they signed for YEARS. But at the time, it didn't seem like they had any other option BUT to sign.

I do not blame *anyone* for signing an NDA, especially when it's attached to a financial lifeline. When you feel like your family's wellbeing is at stake, you'll do anything -- even sign away your own voice -- to provide for them. That's not a "choice"; that's survival.

And yes, many of the people whose stories I now know were pressured into signing an NDA by my husband's ex-employer. Some of whom I *never* would have guessed. People I thought "left well." Turns out, they've just been *very* good at abiding by the terms of their NDA.

(And others who have reached out had similar experiences with other Christian orgs. Turns out abuse, and the use of NDAs to cover up that abuse, is rampant in a LOT of places.)
