The best bike I've ever owned

I've owned a lot of bikes in my life from ranging in style from mountain to road, hybrid and even fixie. Out of all those bikes, there is one that holds a special place in my heart. This bike is nothing special, just an Orange steel single speed that I named Star-buck after a character from Battle-star Galactia.  I've ridden Star-buck in the rain, the snow, the heat and the wind.  I've ridden Star-buck up hills and down mountains. Together, we have zipped wildly thorough busy Manhattan street, traversed down country roads and lazily followed the Mississippi river. Star-buck has seen me at my best and worst: cross country moves, broken collar bones, brake ups, the makings of new friendships and new lives. All this time, my little orange Star-buck has been by my side. I've never owned a bike that made me feel more alive and happy. When I am riding Star-buck, I feel like a biker.

Keeping up with your chain

Hey Dudes!!!
Just a reminder to change your chain regularly otherwise this might happen to you.

This is a chaining from one of the Freewheel employees who attempted to get through the winter on  his chain, however, the winter have other plans. As you can see, those teeth are worn down to the nub. 

As a chain wears, it will wear out the teeth on chain ring, This can be prevented by simply changing your chain regulatory.

So don't let this happen to you!!!! 

Come on by Freewheel and have your chain checked by one of our skilled mechanics.
