This Saturday, September 17, 2011 our good friends at Four Green Fields are celebrating the halfway mark to our favorite celebration of Leprechaun culture with their version of the Irish Scramble (click for additional details and registration info).
Come celebrate Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day with The Irish Scramble presented by Four Green Fields (205 W. Platt St. Tampa, FL 33606 | 813-254-4444)! The Irish Scramble is a unique fast paced urban adventure race. Teams of 2 or 3 race around the city solving clues and looking for checkpoints. Racers begin on their bikes for the first half of the race, then dismount to complete checkpoints and obstacles on foot. Participants then remount their 2 wheeled steeds and race to the finish line!
Wear a costume and dress in green, because we’re Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day!
If you haven’t heard of PEDEGO™ electric bicycles, please allow us to introduce you to an experience unlike what you may have expected from an electric bicycle.

In Stock NOW! Call or visit us for a test ride.
PEDEGO™ was conceived in 2007 to create a line of electric bikes that combine style and function to open up cycling to anyone who might otherwise not be getting the benefits from bike riding. PEDEGO™ electric bikes make biking much more accessible to the 98% of the population who aren’t currently cyclists.

PEDEGO™ designed all of its electric bikes to offer a new and promising alternative form of urban transportation. They provide all the advantages of a regular bicycle: fun, exercise, free parking, zero emissions and freedom from gridlock while eliminating one of the bicycle’s more serious drawbacks, lack of power.

Fundamentally, a PEDEGO™ bike is just like a regular bicycle with a quiet built-in electric hub motor to provide additional assistance. You can pedal normally and just use the motor to help out or use the motor all the time just to make riding easier. The experience is entirely different from riding a gas scooter or motorbike. The electric assistance is perfectly smooth and silent which complements, rather than supplants, human power.
Check some PEDEGO™ electric bicycles in action or stop by our shop for a test ride!

A close friend who lives at Post Harbour Island Apartments informed us today of an incident that occurred over the weekend involving the theft of pretty much every bicycle in their gated bike parking area.
Apparently, the thieves cut through the chain link fence then proceeded to cut the cable locks on ALMOST every bicycle in the storage area and got away with an estimated 20 bicycles.
If you were a victim of this attack and have had your bicycle serviced at our shop within the past 2 years, we should have your bicycle’s serial number in our customer database. Give us a call (813-225-1777) if you need that information so you can report it to the Tampa Police Department. If your bicycle is stolen and you are not able to give TPD the serial number from the bottom bracket (or head tube on older bicycles), your chances of recovery are EXACTLY 0%.
Incidentally, our friend who told us of what she found when she went to retrieve her bicycle from the crime scene did not get her bike stolen because it was secured with an On Guard U-Lock that she purchased from us at the time she bought her Jamis Coda from City Bike Tampa. The majority of bicycles that were stolen from the apartment complex were secured with cable locks, which are not worth the time it takes to put them on.
If you were a victim of this attack on Post Harbour Island Apartments over the weekend and would like to purchase a new bicycle from City Bike Tampa in the month of June 2011, we will throw in a FREE On Guard U-Lock ($40 value) with the purchase of your new bike and proof of residency.
