Winter Bike to Work day and bike delivery

12.4.2011

Just because there’s snow on the ground doesn’t mean you have to put up your bike for the season. FC Bikes is putting on a Winter Bike to Work day with 17 breakfast stations sponsored by almost 50 local businesses. And if we expect you to get out there and ride your bike, we’re going to prove that we will too by offering Free Bike Delivery to be delivered on Bike to Work day. If you want us to bike something to you, use promo code BIKEIT at checkout. Please refer to our bike delivery zone before ordering.


Tandem foxes design by local artist, Allie Ogg, with a small center back print of the commemorative bike to work 2011 tree. To help with the temp on your morning commute, we decided to make the bike to work shirt a bike to work sweatshirt in addition to the tshirt. $4 of each sweatshirt sale and $2 of each tshirt sale will be donated to the Fort Collins Bikes program to help improve your daily commute in the future.

CommuniTEE Night with Articulate City

07.13.2011

T-shirt printing party with Articulate City

Next week, the 19th of July, the ladies from Articulate City (a great Fort Collins art community) are rounding up their pARTiers to come over to the Akinz showroom to print some of their own t-shirts, drink some booze, snack on some yumminess and hang out. Here’s what they have to say about the event:

“If you haven’t heard about Suzanne Akin’s awesome screen-print tee shirts, get ready to get educated. Articulate City has partnered with Akinz Boardwear to host a screen-printing extravaganza at the new Akinz studio. Event-goers will meet on bike in Old Town Square and then ride over to the store’s location. Afterall, Akinz Boardwear is all about biking and reducing your carbon footprint! For those not privy to two-wheels, feel free to meet us there.

Upon arrival, guests will be able to sip cocktails and snack on appetizers. You’ll be able to mingle with fellow Articulate City members as well as others from the Fort Collins community, while printing your own Akinz tee! You can choose your own ink and tee shirt colors. Get creative! To top it off, you’ll be using a brand new custom design, which will be kept secret until closer to the event date. (Keep up with us on Facebook for clues.)

Come hang out, make a shirt and have a drink with us at Fort Collins’ newest, local clothing store.”

Price for the party is $20 for members and $30 for non-members which includes your t-shirt, drinks, and appetizers. Check out the rest of the details here and RSVP and pay to reserve your spot here.

Bike to Work Week and Bike Accessories

06.21.2011

Fort Collins Bike to Work Day is tomorrow and so far we’ve raised almost $200 for the Fort Collins Bike Co-op! You have until the end of June to buy your bike t-shirt and benefit the Fort Collins Bike Co-op. You can buy your bike tshirts here. That also means that today is the last day to put in your order to be hand-delivered by yours truly by bike tomorrow (June 22nd). Don’t live in Fort Collins city limits? Surprise a friend with a bike-delivered gift! Just choose By Bike as your delivery method by 10pm tonight and you’ll get added to our route.

We also are joining up with Big Shot Bikes and the Fort Collins Emergency Vet Clinic to host a Bike to Work Day breakfast station on the Poudre Trail at Riverside and Lemay. Come say hi, buy your bike shirt, and snag a La Luz burrito on your way to work (or another breakfast station).

With all this BikeStravaganza Frenzy going on, we’ve been inspired to create some bike pendants and necklaces. We have both bike scrabble pendants and laser-cut acrylic bike necklaces (modeled above by Houdini) rolling in on the site soon. Check them out in our Jewelry and Accessories section.

Bike to Work Tees and Bike Delivery!

06.6.2011

Northern Colorado bike month is back and that means so are our Bike Tees and Bike Delivery programs! The bike to work tee were so successful last year that we made several different bike t-shirt design options for you this year! You can see them all in our featured bike t-shirt product page. As last year, $2 of each Bike to Work t-shirt sold will be donated to the Fort Collins Bike Co-op.

Plus, now that we are in the month of June, local Fort Collins shoppers can choose to have their order delivered “By Bike” during checkout. This offers free shipping and we will personally bike your order to your house on Bike to Work Day, June 22nd. If the demand is there, we will be keeping Bike Delivery available as an option for the rest of the summer as well.

In addition to these things, this year we are teaming up with Big Shot Bikes and Fort Collins Emergency Vet Hospital to host a breakfast station on Bike To Work Day. Our breakfast station will be located along the Poudre Trail at Riverside and S. Lemay.
