Spring is Tomorrow

Remember when riding bikes in the snow was new and novel and fun? Those days are long gone. I'm really looking forward to getting three full seasons between me and winter, so I can fully appreciate how fun it can be. Today's commute in was particularly unpleasant- if you ride, be careful out there!

Help Wanted

It's that time of the year again. Bikes are rolling in in dire need of tune ups (wintering in a snowbank does terrible things to your bike...). Erich and I can't tune them all ourselves (I mean, we can, but a girl needs a day off to ride her bike, right?) so we're looking for someone to join the Hub Bicycle Dream Team. Not to repeat myself too many times, but bike industry experience is required. Please pass this along to anyone you might know who might be interested. Thanks!



Hub Bicycle Co., located in beautiful Cambridge, MA, is hiring! Are you a talented bicycle mechanic with industry experience looking for a small, but growing, service-oriented shop? Would you love to have every Sunday off to actually ride your bike for fun? Do you believe that bicycles make the world a better place? Are you comfortable working on the full range of bicycles and components- from big box specials to carbon race rockets? Hydraulic brakes, wheel building, suspension, and three speed hubs? We should talk.


You can expect full time seasonal employment (with the possibility of a year-round gig, for the right person) competitive pay based on experience, employee discounts on bikes/parts/stuff, opportunities to participate in advocacy, community education & trail building, and a relaxed, positive work environment. Conversational Spanish and Portuguese skills are a plus, but not a requirement.  Please email a cover letter and resume to Emily (emily @ hubbicycle . com) if that sounds good to you. Emails only, please. Thanks!
