Summer Spins Series Presented By Open Bicycle

Just read this on the internets…the guys from Open Bicycle are doing a spins series…looks like a lot of fun. If you are not familiar with the sport see video below.

We somehow ended up agreeing to put on some sprint races for Bacardi/42Below Vodka at some not-so-cycling-type venues for the next 6 weeks. There will be some free booze and probably copious flipped collars and “party tops” – come on out and beat some “brahs” on the rollers and give us some company!

There will be raffles for free track bikes- 25 in total- they’re essentially repainted IRO’s, I think, with decent parts. The 42Below people will be handing out other free schwag, as well…worth coming out if you have the time.

here’s the schedule:

July 9 & 30 : Hennessey’s, 25 Union Street. 8p-10p
July 10 & 17 : Saint, 90 Exeter Street. 11p-1a
July 11 & 18 : Market, 21 Broad Street. 10p-12a
July 20 & 27 : White Horse Tavern. 9p-11p
July 24 & 31 : Sanctuary, 189 State Street. 10p-12a
July 25 & Aug 15 : The Place, 2 Broad Street. 8p-10p
Aug 7 & 14 : Beer Garden, 734 E. Broadway, South Boston. 8p-10p
Aug 8 & 13 : The Point, 147 Hanover, 9:30p-11:30p

Tonight’s event is at Hennessey’s- its a Irish joint over by Faneuil Hall. Pop in if you’re free for some spinning and what will be, we think, an entertaining evening if nothing else!

This sounds like a lot of fun, I encourage everyone to go out and try/see this.

Open Is Really Really Open (Grand Opening For Open)

So even though Open is officially open, it is having it’s grand opening next Saturday, the 11th. Shop is open from 10a-7p, Chorus gallery reception @ 7p,macaframa premeire @ 9p and then bicycle related events to follow. Entrance is located at the corner of Washington Street & Hawkins Street in Union Square, at approximately 285 Washington Street. (map link)

OPEN launches it’s unique Union Square bicycle shop, art gallery, and design studio. Zachary Teachout and Joshua Kampa, the creatives behind OPEN, quietly unlocked the doors to their new bicycle retail and repair boutique this week. Located in the center of hip and upcoming Union Square in Somerville MA, OPEN encompasses a innovative approach to the bicycle-centric lifestyle, offering new and vintage bicycles, frames, components, and accouterments for a diverse crowd of urban riders. Folded into the newly-renovated warehouse space (formerly
home to Merlin Titanium) is a unique retail store, a full service repair and restoration workshop, a stand-alone art gallery, and a interdisciplinary design studio.

OPEN approaches the Boston metropolitan cycling scene with a fresh and passionate perspective. Both Teachout and Kampa are enthusiastic and committed cyclists and come from creative entrepreneurial backgrounds both inside and outside the industry. They have applied a forward-thinking design philosophy to the shop concept and creation, wiping away the typical “bike shop” structure in favor of a more culturally responsive experience.

Adding to the very unique retail experience, the space will house both the Superbe Design Collaborative and the revolving art gallery, Chorus. The interdisciplinary design studio, comprised of a tight-knit group of young talent, brings to the table an extraordinary range of design experience, from realized large-scale architecture to highly successful brand development projects, as well as published graphic, print and photography work. Chorus, referring to the perception of a number of individual sounds from multiple sources as a single, richer sound, will operate as a stage for local, national and international artists, designers and makers to display and distribute both their work and vision.

ps. the shop is real purty too.
