Randy Newman, Short People, smaller bikes

Randy Newman had it all wrong. The Bike Couriers Bike Shop has several road bikes 54cm and smaller (only one more 41cm left). Short people have a lot to live for. With the exception of a 56cm tri bike, all of our larger sizes are sold out. Expecting delivery of all sizes in December. For your listening pleasure:...

Biden and Electric Vehicles

Biden wants half the US fleet of cars to be electric by 2030. The policy should be to halve the US fleet of cars. 1) EVs are fueled by coal and fracked gas, 2) EVs still demand massive material input in manufacturing and parking, 3) surface parking lots contribute to urban heat and flooding, 4) EVs encourage sprawling land use, 5) EVs are detrimental to public transit and walkable communities, 6) EV batteries are not benign, 7) EVs eventually are junked, 8) EVs kill people, animals and habitat, 9) EVs drain police, EMS & fire dept resources, 10) EVs are a marketing lie on so many levels.The image below is another example of the lies. This image is from electric bike advertising. These bikes are very heavy. They are not powered by humans, but by electricity generated by mining/drilling/burning coal and fracked...

December is a target. If the target is hit, it is certain that only some of the bikes will be in before the new year. Nor can suppliers predict freight and tariff costs. From the Jamis website: “Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price excludes shipping costs, dealer assembly/prep, taxes or import duties.”The end result is that we (you and the shop) are going to have to exercise a bit of flexibility as costs/prices settle down. MSRP is almost certain to change. Given the unusual supply line circumstances, we are giving you an opportunity to secure a new bike ahead of arrival. “Those who...
