Bike month is just around the corner, do you or your kid need a bike?
Reminder that our As-Is Bike Blowout is tomorrow, 12-5pm. Unclear about what "As-Is" means? It means we have done zero assessment or repairs to these bikes, and all sales are final. They all need some work. It also means that these bikes are hella cheap, starting at $10!
We also currently have a huge selection of refurbished bikes ready to ride and come with a 90 day warranty. See you tomorrow!#usedbikes #berkeley
