Every now and then we get screwed with a flat tire. Don’t let that end your ride! As they say, knowledge is freedom so let’s learn how to fix it. In honor of Cyclesomatic we will have classes every Wednesday at 7:30 P.M. for the month of October. We can cover tube/tire changing, basic maintenance the participants can vote on what they want to learn. No Charge.
Get on your bikes and ride on down to White Rock Lake to check out the Texas State VEGGIE Fair October 23rd 11-6.
Of course we want to push our agendas on you but let’s face it, vegetables are good for you! Especially since you’ve been plowing that other state fair food down your mouth-hole all month. If you just can’t get enough, there will be a fried food contest along with the non artery clogging food. As we all know, you could deep fry a shoe for the most part and it’ll still be delicious so let’s assume these hippies cant foul this up. If WRL is too far for you, maybe you could make it to their screening of Vegucated at the Texas Theater October 22 1 P.M.
We donated a really nifty prize so try your luck at the raffle! Who doesn’t like camping!?!
The Outdoor Research Highland Bivy. Small enough to fit on your bike.
Here are a few new radical lines that we picked up recently:
Now we know these guys make some super fashionable and extremely functional and breathable rain gear, but I was very impressed with their hydration products as well. Check ‘em out!
Hydration is not the first thing I think of when I hear Ortleib either, though they have quite a few gizmos out there too. Paired with Tubus or Racktime racks, you can build your dream touring rig outfitted with Ortleib panniers or if you just need a resilient/waterproof/fly as hell bag for getting around town you can’t go wrong with the Ortleib line. Look even our buddies at KGS Bikes like their stuff!
Hello! Inexpensive wheelsets($140) and bikes($350) with the most ridiculous color schemes imaginable!
Time for another BarBikeQue! Yeah yeah yeah… it may rain I know, but then I’ve never been a good planner. As usual we will bring some lights, bikes, food, and drinks.
Weather permitting: Sunday Oct. 18 5:00 P.M. Boulder Park
Oak Cliff Nature Preserve | Sunday, July 31 | 6:00–9:30 p.m.
It’s time for another hot night on the trail and some grillin’ and swillin’. We’re bringin’ the grill and some bikes, too. Also, we’ll have some Trail LED lights to try out for those of you who want to play around with night riding. So nice to feel a cool breeze when you’re riding—you’ll have forgotten that it’s in the triple digits when you woke up.
We’re bringing our favorite racer, Ray Porter, out so you can ride with him the day after he does a 4-hour race. I only ride with him when he’s tired, and you can rest assured that I rode with him the day after he finished the Tour Divide. I absolutely CRUSHED him!
We will be doing a little swap meet during the Sylvan Thirty Farmers Market at 9:00 A.M. There will be room for about 25 to 30 tables so come on down and sell that bike in pieces that you thought you were gonna restore. Sell those parts you took off your old bike when you turned it into that color coordinated fixed whip, and that frame that you thought was the right size, or better yet sell that lemon that we sold you and won’t buy back.
No fee to set up.
Bring your own table, chairs, tent etc. if you like.
Snow cones will be on hand along with food and drink.
Sylvan in between I30 and Ft. Worth Drive here-ish

Raceday Ray is on the way the month after May to Canada ey!
This is his second go at this daunting ride, and I feel that with my superior training tips he’ll complete it with ease. As per my training regimen, I think it’s best to send him off with a nice keg party, followed by a trip to Master Blasters for a night cap*. Come on down and join us in wishing him luck.
You can track Ray’s ride here.
*for training tips and tavern suggestions, email us at info@ocbicycleco.com, because we’re never too busy.
GO RAY GO! RSVP HERE!
BARBIKEQUE OCNP SUNDAY APRIL 17 4:00-?
After you’ve slurped your civet coffee out of a recycled Tom’s shoebox coffee cup, come celebrate the glorious planet we live on by communing with actual nature. Ditch your road bike and stagnant city streets and get with some trees, creeks, and DIRT! I know it looks rainy but the trail needs a sip of water badly. I imagine that come Sunday, we’ll be clear for riding. We will have food grilling and drinks flowing, but feel free to bring yours as well.
Try out one of our MTB bikes we’ll bring along or bring your own and just ride with us.
Sunday, April 17, 4 p.m.–sunset.
P.S.–Thanks for this shout out, Dallas Observer.
We are going to start feeding you at the trailheads from now on so come down and enjoy the trails with us. This Sunday, March 27th we will kick off our barbikecue/demoish thingy. Sorry we aren’t as rich as some of your favourite shops, but if you would like to try out some Sram™ shifting or single speed madness, we will bring a few bikes for you to throw a leg over. Bring your bike and let’s ride!
March 27th 4:00P.M. – Sunset
