Plenty of bikers and FBC board members will be there in the evening, so come on out and introduce yourself, enjoy some great food and beer and help support the Frederick Bicycle Coalition.

And of course, you are encouraged to ride your bike to the event. Hope to see you there!

Merry Christmas and MANY Thanks!

















We at The Bicycle Escape have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our friends and customers this year. The amazing clock shown was a gift made by an artist in Bogota, Columbia and is constructed of recycled metal. I could not believe it when this was delivered to the shop. Pile on some delicious homemade pupusas, gourmet deserts, fresh fruit, and some very good craft beer and you've got yourself a truly touched collection of bicycleman. Thanks so much and have a happy and safe holiday.

Origin 8 Pro-Grip Toe Straps


We just received a shipment of the Origin 8 Pro-Grip Toe Straps. They are shown here mounted to Fly BMX pedals. These are a great lower cost ($19.99) alternative to some of the pricer straps on the market.

NEW Water Bottles
















Water bottles just took a huge leap forward. Our latest shop bottles are the new Purist bottles produced by Specialized. These new vessels are made of a space age compound that is nearly as smooth as glass. It does not absorb colors, tastes or odors. If you are a skeptic, fill the bottle with tomato juice and then go pump up your car tires (you know it has been a while) when you return empty the bottle and give it a quick rinse. You will be holding a totally clean bottle awaiting the next hydration challenge. The bottles are BPA free and easy to squeeze. They also feature high flow, no-drip bit valves. Stop by and get yourself one of these beauties while they last.
