We’re back! We’re back!

BYKlyn Cycle!

We are so very excited to be rolling out (ha! get it?) our first ever cycling review. We attended a Community ride at BYKlyn Cycle that benefitted the Center Against Domestic Violence, which was a perfect introduction into the community-focused BYKlyn family. It’s rare to find a business this pure and committed to doing good, both on an individual level and on a world level. From partnering with other Brooklyn businesses to raising over $5000 for non-profits, you’ll get so much more than just a workout when you step through the doors. 

For more information head to their website. 

We want to hear from you! Email us at [email protected] or follow us on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.

Until next time,  Shannon & Christian
