E-bikes are displacing 4X more oil use than electric cars. We need to rapidly make space on our city streets to accommodate the future of transportation (or be left behind in the fossil age).
Electric vehicles of all types are displacing 1.5 million barrels per day of oil usage. That’s nearly 3% of total road fuel demand.

✨NEW ACCESSORY SPOTLIGHT!✨
@ternbicycles has released a brand new Captain’s Chair that’s super comfy and fun to ride on! With a wider seat pad, extended arm rests, and a more angular back rest, adult-sized passengers will be riding in style.
Coming up on the last Sunday of August, join us for a group ride for the whole family! Meet up at the shop at 10am and roll with us at 11am on a slow ride to Cowen Park. It'll be a great time! 🚲🚲🚲
It's here! The webstore for Carsick Slingsets is live!

This is now the exclusive source for the famous Carsick Cargo Slingsets. This is a really fun new project for us and we’re stoked to help get these bags out in the wild!
It's this month’s bike photo scavenger hunt assignment! Take a picture of your bike with the current scavenger hunt item, show it to us when you visit the shop, and get 15% off one in-stock item (max $30 off).
August's theme is: Life's a Beach! Ride to the water and snap a pic.

Is this our first Extinction Summer? They're calling it a global heatwave. Temperature records are shattered. Floods roar globally, and so do wildfires.
There are 3 things everyone should understand right now about our civilization, its climate, and where we go from here. 1/6
Happy New Bike Day, Katie! This family needed a car replacement solution that can transport their two kiddos to school, to the library, and all around their neighborhood. And the Tern GSD is more than up for the task!
It’s no news that for years we here at G&O have loved the cargo slingset from @carsickdesigns . But it’s amazing news that Carsick and G&O are joining forces! You can now order sling bags directly through the shop, in person or over the phone. familycyclery.com/blog/carsi…

Professor Kevin Anderson is addressing all of us in very clear words:
»We are heading towards 3 to 4°C of warming across this century, an absolute climate catastrophe for all species incl our own. And all we are doing so far is giving rhetoric and optimism and greenwash.«

"Taking public transportation is 'orders of magnitude safer' than driving a car, according to research."
This is true.

“Pedestrian deaths in the United States climbed once again in 2022, reaching their highest point in 41 years & continuing a bloody trend that shows no signs of stopping.”
We know how to stop it and save those lives.
They won’t do it.

Biking through SODO shouldn't be terrifying. Let the city know they need to make some changes to the planned bike route from Georgetown to Downtown so that it's safe and comfortable from end to end: p2a.co/DzSB8p3
Just a reminder that the shop will be closed tomorrow. Happy Pride, y’all! See you Sunday! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
