Sweetening the deal...

This weekend is going to be big! You might have noticed that we've doubled the number of new bikes and almost doubled the number of used bikes in the shop from what we had at the beginning of the month! You might not have noticed that we've also doubled our stock of accessories! To celebrate we're giving away accessories! That's right, you get a free* accessory when you buy two! That's on top of 10% off new in stock bikes for college students!


*Free accessory is lowest priced of 3 purchased. Limit one free accessory per person per visit. Tax and service costs may still apply. See an associate for details.

The Big Day!

It's been a long two months but our soft opening is almost over! With school back in session and the weather cooling off it's time for one more expansion. Starting August 21st and running through the rest of the year we will be open 5 days a week, 10-7 Wednesday-Sunday!

These expanded hours also coincide with our Back to School Sale! For the rest of August FSU, FAMU, and TCC students will receive 10% any in-stock, new bike when they show their school ID!

Sanday Sale

If you haven't seen the shop lately, you're in for a surprise! We've made a lot of new floor space and we've gotten in a lot of new bikes! The bad news is that we got so many new bikes we just don't have room for them all! To make some space we're slashing prices on older models and scratch and dent models. Try 10% off* the already discounted prices! Here are some examples:

Manhattan/KHS Green Urban Bike MSRP: $359 -> Scratch and Dent: $250 -> Sunday: $225
KHS Urban Xcape Urban Bike MSRP: $379 -> Scratch and Dent: $325 -> Sunday: $292
KHS Alite 1000 Mountain Bike MSRP: $809 -> Closeout: $600 -> Sunday: $540
KHS DJ50 Jump Bike MSRP: $549 -> Closeout: $500 -> Sunday $450

That's a savings of at least $87 each! Not bad for any given Sunday!


*Discount limited to stock on hand. Warranty coverage on damaged bikes is at the sole discretion of KHS, not Damn Good Bikes. All sales on discounted merchandise are "as is" and final. Discount does not apply to previous or future purchases beyond 8/15/10.

Making the rounds...

Some updates for yall!

First, we have new used bikes. A lot of used bikes. We got them from auction and are fixing them up as fast as we can. Why do you care about used bikes? Well because for the first time in a while we have A TON of inexpensive used bikes! We're talking the vast majority of them priced between $50 and $100! That's ontop of our larger than average stock of used road bikes ($100-$500) and premium used hybrid and mountain bikes ($100-$200)!

Second, we're picking up some new lines of bikes from our friends at KHS. The new lines will be in the form of comfort bikes, mountain bikes, and urban bikes. We already have the Green line in the store but we will also have Alite 40, Alite 300, Alite 500, TC100, Brentwood, DJ50 and a smattering of Manhattan Cruisers!

Third, if you're wondering where all the new bikes will fit, don't. After we closed the shop Sunday we began our last remodel before our Big Grand Opening!!! August 21st will be the day we open our doors as a full time bike shop! Since our soft opening we've been operating weekends only with limited staff. We took the time to talk to customers and find out exactly what they're looking for. What we learned was that a damn good bike at a damn good price was good an all but you also wanted more hours, more selection, and more services. We're happy to oblige!

New Hours: 10am-6pm Wednesday-Sunday (starting 8/21)
New Bike Lines: Alite 40, Alite 300, Alite 500, TC100, Brentwood, DJ50 and a smattering of Manhattan Cruisers
New Services: Custom frame paintings by our resident artist, free bike fittings with new bike purchase, and bike building services.

Making it easy...

Q: So let's say you run a bike shop and you've got all these bikes to sell. Let's also say that you've got even more product coming in this week and are beginning to run out of floor space. How do you solve this problem?

A: Give shit away!

Yep, Damn Good Bikes is giving away $50 of merchandise for every bike $399.99 and up purchased. That $50 could mean alot of awesome things...

-5 Damn Good Shirts
-A jersey and pair of riding shorts
-About a dozen water bottles
-A new set of pedals and some riding gloves
-A helmet and a bike pump
-A bike rack to transport your new bike
-Something else so awesome my mind can't comprehend it!

Oh, and there will be some new merch in the shop too...
We're getting some new bike pumps, tires, gloves and other stuff to make riding more fun!

Also, if you're wondering where the new "Product" is coming from? Well we've become an authorized dealer for Torker! What does that mean? Well, it means we will be carrying Torker's full line of hybrid and city bikes! Why is this special? Well, mostly because Torker makes the U-District single speed/fixie road bike! The U-District is a value bike of the highest quality. I dare say it's a Damn Good Bike!
