Here's our Sunday Wrapup
- Our 2021 Spring Previews are out (will be linked below
- Bike shortages will be a real thing this year. We're already feeling it with some brands.
- We're upset/scared/frustrated about Covid, and are limiting appointments to urgent repairs only.

Family Cargo Bike Preview--> @ternbicycles @UrbanArrowcom @larryvsharry @babboe_bakfiets

So many amazing choices to have fun with your family while getting stuff done. Our family is rolling with a Larry vs Harry Bullitt, and a Tern GSD in 2021. londonbicyclecafe.com/news/2020/11/1…
Cargo Bikes for Business -->
This is a new opportunity for local businesses to take advantage of an incredible $2000 grant toward an electric cargo bike. We're here to consult with you on the best way to move your business forward, on a bike!

And finally, our Covid operations update. We're staying home, unless you need us. We're here for urgent repairs by appointment (did about six of these yesterday), and trying to do most of our consults for new bikes by email and phone.
londonbicyclecafe.com/news/2020/9/30…
While we're hoping vaccine rollouts continue, we're not anticipating "back to normal" anytime soon. All services will be by appointment until we reach #CovidZero. Mobile bike repair will return and expand in the spring.
Cafe will be closed (again... sigh...).
We're excited about a *lot* of things in 2021. You'll meet some new faces in the store (we'll be hiring soon). We'll hopefully be able to do community events/rides again. And maybe, just maybe, see yourself on a bike in a way you didn't think was possible. Cheers to a new year.

Bike friends,
Our 2021 @larryvsharry listings are (nearly) complete. Waiting on the double seat pricing and availability to round things out. Here's the preview, time to start dreaming/building! #LdnOntBike
The bread-and-butter E6100 returns. Gates Carbon Belt Drive is why this bike is spectacular - silent, maintenance-free, and tons of fun! londonbicyclecafe.com/bike-store/lar…
New this year is the Shimano EP8 motor - 85 Nm of torque (WOWZERS!) coupled with a Shimano XT Di2 12-speed derailleur for maximum speed, range, and maneuverability. Who said cargo bikes have to drive like minivans? Also pictured, a new LizzardKing colourway! Yum!

Today the Secretary General of the United Nations called for oil production to be ramped down immediately due to the severity of the climate emergency. Another cyclist was killed by a negligent traffic engineer. We need immediate action on both issues, now

The @CityofLdnOnt has 3500+ km of roads, & 7.5 km of protected bike lanes planned/funded before 2030. That's simply not good enough. We need to rethink our streets, from the ground up. Small tweaks & disconnected half-measure infrastructure won't fix the problems we face.

Working on a bunch of web-store updates. Pre-orders for 2021 will be live soon (we don't have a lot left in store, send a DM if you're looking for something sooner than spring!). Most stoked about Bullitt EP8 - 85 Nm of torque and Di2 XT 12-speed gearing... launch time.
What a spectacular lineup.
Which Bullitt are you? List your top 3! #LdnOntBike

Alright, bike friends, I just locked in our last spring order. It's the largest single cargo bike purchase we've ever made, so let's get excited about what's coming!! #CargoCult2021 #LdnOntBike
Does anyone still play Mario Kart? I feel like cargo bikes have lots of analogs to the characters in that game... #MarioCargo

Tern HSD: Definitely Toad. Small. Lightweight. So agile in corners. Can fit in small spaces.
Which charcter best represents the Larry vs Harry e-Bullitt? Definitely Mario. "I'ma gonna win!" is the attitude of Bullitt (the fastest cargo bike) The new EP8 Shimano Steps motor is extra powerful, like getting a super mushroom whenever you need it (demo coming!). #MarioCargo

Can't wait, can't wait for the new Tern HSD!
DYK: HSD stands for "Haul Stuff Daily", which is what this bike is PERFECT for. Plus it folds easily so you can take it with you anywhere!
ternbicycles.com/ca/bikes/471/h…
What's awesome about the HSD? Vertical parking for one... live in an apartment? Need to maximize space in your garage? The HSD just fits. Everywhere.
Ahh, look at that perfect office parking space. Better than your current parking space in "Lot H".

Psst there's still a few hours to grab a Father's Day present or two - order online by 5pm today and we'll make sure to deliver for dad! Here's a quick thread with some great ideas! 👇
Brooks Rain Cape. Rain is coming this week, we think this is one of the best ways to stay dry out there! londonbicyclecafe.com/bike-store/bro…
2. Brooks Barbican Messenger Bag. Not quite impulse-purchase worthy, but durable, beautiful, and timeless. I've had one since 2011 and can say with certainty it's the best bag I've ever owned. londonbicyclecafe.com/bike-store/bar…
