Heartfelt condolences to the folks at Cosmic Bikes.

To suffer one loss is hard enough. To now be facing another so soon after… there are no easy words for that kind of weight.

Please know this isn’t just felt within your walls...it's a blow to the entire Chicago cycling scene—because shops like yours, and the people behind them, are part of the foundation that keeps it all moving.

Thinking of your team, your friends, and your community during this incredibly difficult time.

🔧 Calling a Few Good Mechanics… 🔧

If you’re heading to CABDA West, we could use a few skilled hands for Operation: Back On The Road—our industry service project to help get the Veteran Trike Brigade rolling again.

We’re teaming up with Forgotten Not Gone, an incredible local organization that helps veterans heal through cycling, community, and shared purpose. During the show, volunteers will help wrench on adaptive trikes used by their Veteran Trike Brigade—making sure these bikes are safe, tuned, and ready to ride.

🛠️ If you can spare some time, lend a hand and help us get these vets back on the road!

👕 Volunteers receive a limited-edition BOTR t-shirt, which automatically makes you the coolest person in the building.

And if you can’t spare the time, please consider supporting the .not.gone mission with a donation. Every bit helps keep this amazing program rolling.

Let’s show what this industry is all about. Let’s roll. 🚲
