Last year, we sold seven Kona Africabikes. Not bad for a bookstore. Our first shipment of bikes for 2009 has arrived. We have two single speeds and one three speed in stock. I took the three speed for a test ride this morning. It was a joy to ride. It has an internally gear hub so there is no derailleur. These bikes are utilitarian riding machines. Very simple low maintenance bikes. I took mine to Just Food tonight for groceries and the liquor store for a 6 pack of Summit Red. The beer was a perfect compliment to our burgers and fries. The Africabike is a great ride for getting around in Northfield.
Our selection of bike accessories is expanding. We’ve added Soma water bottles. These are BPA free bottles. We also have click tools, tubes, patch kits, Knog and Planet Bike lights, locks, and a variety of bags.
