It’s brilliant. It’s scary. Sunday Parkways meets the Hawthorne Street Fair Aug. 15.

It’s finally here: tens of thousands of cyclists flowing through tens of thousands of street wanderers, just because. It’s Southeast Sunday Parkways meets the Hawthorne Street Fair. Look for us where they intersect, at 41st Avenue, in the Key Bank parking lot. Yes yes, it’s only a block from our shop, and yes it’s a bank, but we’ll be there anyway, under a pop-up tent lent to us by Stop Cycles, with a workstand, a couple of our mechanics providing free assistance, and a big cooler of something refreshing. The shop will be open too, with discounts on certain bikes and accessories.
