@james.a.mackie and @wakthis stopped by during their mountain bike ride from @helenscycles - They both work at I Martin Imports where @onion.sauce used to work 20 years ago. James has been at the Outpost during the @foxracing Flux helmet kickoff day. Anyway, one thing lead to another and the conversation turned to Haikus. They both earned a patch after writing and reciting Haikus. #haikus #mountainbiking #bikeshopfriends (at Topanga Creek Outpost) https://www.instagram.com/p/BseLmTZlQYw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ln6oi8unfuss

@mellovelo is a major feel good kinda place for so many reasons. It’s a bike shop and cafe on a level most of us could only dream of creating. @onion.sauce met Steve and Sara a few years ago at a @qualitybike event when they had a small shop in Syracuse, NY and were about to purchase an abandoned warehouse for their shop and add a proper cafe. While a generation is too often accused of spending all their time on computers, it simply isn’t true. They have worked and sweated a lot. These two, @nphueber and their crew have restored this wooden floor massive factory building. Being wildly creative and thoughtful the entire place is curated ingeniously. @bikethomson bags were used for the benches in the cafe with details like that at every corner. If you are a bike nerd, want to be generally inspired, or a foodie (try the vegan dishes with actual bacon according to Chris who visited them today) you should head to this place. While so much in the world seems overwhelmingly crappy, the breath of fresh air seeing this space is society affirming. We are on the right track with a generation like these people on their game. Don’t just take it from us. Apparently lots of people get it. @modestmouse stopped in their place incognito yesterday and wore their shop jersey during his concert last night. So much goodness and hope and amazing creativity. #inspired #mellovelo #bikeshop #bikeshopfriends #unpredictyourjourney #creativity (at Mello Velo Bicycle Shop and Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoeoYgPhT93/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17umbglqasfpt

Riding from @overlookbicycles to the Overlook on the Mountain is a great ride if you love hills. @onion.sauce jumped on a @salsacycles fat bike and stopped at the abandoned hotel up in the mountain. Get directions from the shop for the scenic ride back to Woodstock. The whole adventure is a bucket list joy. #overlookbicycles #bikeshopsoulmates #woodstockny #bikeshopfriends #unpredictyourjourney #unlearnpavement #overlook (at Overlook Mountain)

@overlookbicycles in Woodstock, NY is our soulmate shop. @onion.sauce stopped in to visit and the similar vibe, souls, people, stuff, neighborhood, creek outback, coffee maker, etc was uncanny familiar to Topanga Creek Outpost. Billy even got Chris back at his own game by suggesting Overlook Mountain for a good ride today. 3500 feet of climbing in 4 miles. Holy crap. Amazing and a total awful and definitely a must climb and place to visit if you on the Atlantic Ocean side of the Mississippi River. #overlookbicycles #bikeshopfriends #bikeshopsoulmates #woodstockny

Our favorite Idyllwild dude is in Topanga wrenching on some bikes, chilling with coffee and keeping Chris company. Our end of the bargain is about to start with @roguejourneymen showing up at the Idyllwild Mountain Bike Festival on June 10th and 11th. Stop up at the @thehubcyclery that weekend for the fun and see the new digs. @bikeshop_dad and @onion.sauce_onion.sauce having some fun collaborations. #unpredictyourjourney #topangacreekoutpost #thehubcyclery #collaborate #bikeshopfriends #roguejourneymen (at Topanga Creek Outpost)
