Quick note: we are closed on Thanksgiving Day, but we will bring our big bellies in to serve you Friday, Saturday and Sunday (see hours on the right).
We are planning our annual tour of the neighborhood holiday lights ride. This year, we will wander out on the solstice, Wednesday December 21, leaving the shop at 7pm for the best-lit streets of San Carlos and Belmont.
Stay tuned for info as the date gets closer and we know the weather, but in the meantime, make sure you have some festive, or at a minimum, functional, lighting for your bike.

It’s Charles’ favorite holiday! Get your costume plan going, it’s sure to be a night of fun, fun, fun! Even the shop is dressing up, with candles, black lights, perhaps a horrible surprise or two, and disgusting food and beverages, starting at 8pm.
Please RSVP to patty@passiontrailbikes.com so we can get a corpse count for the right amount of guts and blood to serve.

Since our weather forecast for this weekend is for continued “unbelievably beautiful” we thought we’d encourage a gathering at the shop for a morning jaunt pedaling through Waterdog, followed by grilling outside the lounge.
Decision Time…. up Ohlone or down Chaparral?

It is interesting to watch different customers come in when they are shopping for a new bike. Some obviously just “get it” about Passion and what we are offering, and other haven’t picked up on it yet. As a marketer, I’ve had trouble figuring out how to help people who don’t “get it” to understand what we are really offering.
The problem is a bike has a standard retail price, often listed right on a manufacturer’s web sites. If a bike is a commodity, then going to the discounter that offers that bike at 20% off is better for the customer than paying full retail as you would at Passion.
But Passion doesn’t believe bikes are commodities. The parts may be the same whether you buy the bike from us or a discounter, but the final product is not.

After a good hard day of work at the shop, we often opt for dining out instead of heading straight home to a dirty kitchen and empty cupboards. Where do we go to eat?
Here’s a list of places we like with links to the yelp page for each:
Please post your comments below on where YOU like to eat, and maybe you can get a group together for tomorrow’s Wride.

Whew! We just had a fantastic weekend running our third Fall demo event at the shop. We had major league participation from Giant, Specialized, and Santa Cruz for the first time, and were also able to round out this fleet with bikes from Maverick and Ibis, allowing us to send out over 200 separate test rides over the two days. I want to thank everyone that participated, from those that came to tempt themselves by looking at new hardware, to the benevolent bunch that volunteered to help us keep things running smoothly, to those that just left a little extra in the til or the tip jar before the end of the day. We have been getting a lot of positive strokes and good feedback since Sunday, and it would not have been as good without everyone’s help.
I still want to hear what bikes you liked, what you liked about them, what you didn’t see or get to try, and what surprised you. Add a comment to this thread, or shoot something out to info@PassionTrailBikes.com. Santa Cruz left some bikes here for a couple extra days, so I was able to get a long ride in on a Blur LT Carbon yesterday. Look for a more thorough ride report on that one from me soon.
We ran special pricing on all bikes this past weekend, special orders and stock bikes included, and sold a few bikes and frames in the process. If you are regretting not taking advantage of that and getting one for yourself, let me, Berry, or Pancho know and we will do what we can for you.
I am updating Passion’s Flickr page tonight, and a few images from the weekend are already posted here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51326343@N00/sets/72157622385579697/

Well, those are the official Passion Trail Bike jerseys, made by Zoic, and we have plenty in the shop at $45 each should you want to be fast like them (custom tandem not included).
Here is some information from Zoic abut these jerseys:And here’s a closeup of the front and back logos:
They are t-shirt style, so they don’t have pockets on them (none of that roadie stuff).

Tom emerged from the truck Monday morning with this inspiring text on his shirt, over the picture of a dead, inverted, rat. He pointed out to us that it was always good advice, and good for everyone. He and I, along with Daryl and Fabio, had woven our way through the minivan fender bender madness on Page Mill Road that morning to met at the Park n Ride before we carpooled down to the Demo, and we all admired or commented on the shirt before hitting the road in pursuit of Santa Cruz Mountain goodness.

A friend suggested to me yesterday that I spend a few minutes each day reflecting on the things I am grateful for. She wasn’t talking about work for sure, but this morning I am thinking about little else.
Today I am grateful for our customers, our friends, who are stepping up to lend a hand around the shop, and particularly during our Wednesday Night Wrides.
