Family Bike Event!

2010-02-11T12:09:00.001-05:00

Can you Go the Distance? For many children and families with autism, there are daily struggles to face and each one can feel like an uphill battle. YOU can make a difference in their lives. On Sunday May 16th, 2010, Alpine Learning Group, The EPIC School and REED Academy will be hosting a Family Bike Event at Northern Highlands Regional High School in Allendale, NJ.
These schools are dedicated to providing individualized instruction to students with autism and support services to families. By collaborating on this event, we are using one voice to spread the message that everyone, from children to adults, can help us continue to turn uphill challenges into achievements. So in the words of Freddy Mercury…" Get Your Bikes and Ride!!!"

The TBW Presents: Nick Brandreth

2009-12-09T13:33:00.001-05:00

It's not clear whether Nick Brandreth is a full-time photographer and a part-time adventurer, or if it's the other way around. The New Jersey native can usually be found behind the lens, on a mountain bike, or building trails and dirt jumps out in the woods. Nick is one of the founders of the popular bike site www.thrashbike.com. His work has been published in Alternative Press, Tokion, Decline, and The Bergen Record. As of late, Brandreth has been spending most of his free time in the company of the Nam Knights motorcycle club and his small pack of Brittany Spaniels.

Nick's website is http://www.nickbrandreth.com & http://Nickbrandreth.blogspot.com

We're on Facebook, why not become a fan?

Tenafly Bicycle Workshop on Facebook

Art Show on Saturday , October 24th, 4:00 - 7:00pm

2009-10-22T14:06:00.001-04:00

The Tenafly Bicycle Workshop is proud to present:

Joe Iurato
:01 Art Exhibit
October 24th -- December 7th, 2009

Please join us at Bicycle Workshop for an opening and reception on Saturday , October 24th, 4:00 - 7:00pm at the shop.

Joe Iurato

...is a New Jersey based artist who works primarily with hand-drawn, hand-cut stencils, acrylic and spray paint applied to reclaimed wooden cabinetry, found objects, wooden panels, and the occasional cement wall. His work reflects a broad range of subject matter, from night climbers to urban textures to children’s portraits, yet all of it shares the same weathered vibe of art that’s been placed on a city street to collaborate with the elements and time.
The Bicycle Workshop is presenting the final installment of Joe’s “:01” exhibitions, a series that began at Café Eclectic in Montclair, NJ this past May and has since been traveling to venues throughout New York and New Jersey. During the :01 exhibits, Joe is working closely with Wine For Water, a non-profit organization that is currently installing clean-water drinking wells in some of the most impoverished regions of Ethiopia. 25% of all proceeds from original art sold will be donated to the Wine For Water.

Art Show and Reception / Saturday, Sept. 5th / 4:00 - 6:00pm

2009-08-28T15:36:00.001-04:00

The Tenafly Bicycle Workshop is proud to present the artwork of Mike von Wahlde.

Mike von Wahlde is a juggernaut, a spastic kid who is consistently concerned with capturing the dirt and the beautiful in his artwork. Formally schooled as a journalist and writer, Mike’s art is narrative in nature. Each piece tells a single unit of a larger story.

Mike is also a former professional bicycle mechanic, and écrou de rayon reflects his intimacy avec velo. There are two relationships that exist in the world of bicycles: that of the rider and the bicycle and that between mechanic and bicycle. écrou de rayon is an informed collection of parts that celebrate the whole: the romance that mechanics have with other people’s bicycles; the mechanical and organic running parallel; getting laid flat out at 70 mph, spinning out the 53/11; the hard and the soft, the curves and angles. The speed and the beauty. The love and the hate. The friction of it all.

Please join us for refreshments at the artist's reception.

The Sunday Morning Ride Returns!

2009-05-11T10:54:00.002-04:00

Tenafly Bicycle Workshop is very happy to announce the return of the Sunday morning ride!!! Starting this coming Sunday (5/10), we will resume our routine, meeting at 7:45 in the parking lot behind the bike shop. Rides will begin promptly at 8:00am, so if you would like to join us, please make every effort to get there early.

WHO?

My name is Leo Parascondola, and I've been working at TBW with Rich and Dov since August of 2008 (prior to that, during summers for former owners David Bell and Mike McTigue). I also worked at 3rd Nature (recently closed) from May 07 thru July 08.

I have been riding since 1985, casually at first, but very seriously for about 20 years. I have ridden in mountain ranges of Italy, Austria, and France and participated several times in the popular mass event of northern Italy, Maratona d'les Dolomiti, and in the gran fondo sponsored by retired Italian racer Max Lelli whose bikes are now available at TBW!

WHAT?
Our ride will leave the parking lot at TBW at 8:00 sharp, so please assemble no later than 7:45am. Remember to bring spare tubes, pump (or CO2 cartrideges), water, and food/energy bar although, as a general rule, our rides will not last long enough to generate "the bonk." Assuming no difficulties, we should return between 10:00 - 10:15am.

We CANNOT provide last minute repairs or any wrench work; however, you may grab a tube or CO2 cartridge which you can pay for when we return. Helmets are mandatory for all. NO rider will be allowed to join without a helmet! NO exceptions!

WHERE?
Some likely destinations are: Clausland State Park and Nyack; Rivervale (briefly into Rockland Co.); west and north to Saddle River Road and back; Strawtown Rd/Rockland Lake.... and so on. Suggestions for alternative destinations are welcome but must be vetted via Google Maps, May My Ride, or a similar service.

Rides will last approximately 2 hours or a wee bit over - for a distance of about 30 miles at a pace of 13-15 mph. Average speed will vary with the fitness levels of those who join us. No one will be dropped or left behind on the road. I will be responsible for assessing everyone's general fitness on the bike and judging whether they can do the full ride.

If it becomes apparent that a rider - for any reason, mechanical or otherwise - is having difficulty, I will ride back with you. If you cannot complete the ride, please bring a mobile phone so that you can call a family member or friend to guarantee transportation home.

Please be REALISTIC about your level of fitness. If you do not think you can complete a ride of 25-30 miles, do not join us until you are sure that you can complete that distance. Looking forward to meeting you all soon!

For the Bicycle Workshop,

Leo Parascondola
