Cool stuff happening soon...
Bike Cult Show:
Exhibition of Hand Built Bikes in the greatest city in the country by some of the best Frame Builders in the country
24 of some of the finest hand built bicycle makers in the country will decend on the Knockdown Center to display their craft. Their work runs the gamut from traditionalist form and function to the very envelope of cutting edge technologies and style. Join us over the weekend of August 15th to the 17th at venues throughout New York City to celebrate their craft, pay homage to the past NYC based masters of the craft, and to celebrate the robust future of cycling, and small scale bicycle production in our great city. If you can cycle here, you can cycle anywhere!
