718 Outdoors https://www.718c.com 718 Cyclery is founded on the principle that we are practitioners of 100+ year old technology, not the guardians of it.

Nothing that we do isn't so proprietary or secret that a visitor cant peek over our shoulder or ask a question. Our shop is a place where arrogance and attitude have no place. Approaching us with a question shouldn't be as if approaching an altar occupied by the high and mighty. We work with metal and rubber, and will gladly explain our process to you. We are most proud of our integrity and reputation.

This season is starting to slowly chug out of the station!

Check out our new "Bike Makeover" page, Link in bio.

It's definitely an effort to continue my human-scale connections. One of the shop's "super powers" was the ability to humanize bikes with our community , removing as many barriers to entry as possible.

"5 minutes of Hell"

That's how I describe the stresses involved with taking your bike on a train in the Northeast US.

I wrote a guide to traveling with your bike by train. Link in bio / blog

I am not a sentimental guy when it comes to bikes...until this one.

Here's a little story I wrote if you're looking for a distraction on this cold, snowy day.

New for 2025 are our Self Guided Tours.

What are they?
How do they work?
What do I get?

All answered are revealed in our latest blog post/link in bio.

As some of us re-evaluate our relationship and reliance on social media, I'd like to invite you to join our newsletter/email list to stay up to date with whats going on (trips, events, blog posts, new items, etc) with us.

I've been thinking about how to write this for a while, and then posted it perfectly yesterday.

Also, I got some great insight from with how they view email lists vs social media...

"...my email list is not dependent on algorithms, shadow bans or shifts in value systems"

(That might be some of the best advice I've read in years)

Small, independent businesses working together to figure it out!

Anyway....newsletter.

Given a choice, I think we'd all wish for less social media in our lives (certainly not more!)

I usually spend the first week in January getting the logistics for our tours set.

We are doing two 8-day Canadian Trips this Fall (spots still available, link in bio/2025), which means a lot of logistics (along with language and currency issues).

Today we booked Ange Gardien on the Ottawa River between and ...this is Day 6 of our "Canada -Left" Tour.

May 4-5 to Croton, NY, link in bio/2025

This trip is the first of a series to bring attention and resources to causes that we (and our community) feel are important.

In 2017, we adopted 2 little scared feral Torbies (A torbie is a tortoiseshell cat with tabby stripes) from Little for the shop. 9 years later they are now living at home with us and have become like 90% socialized.

50% of all registration fees will be donated to

We are also looking to have riders get pledges from friends, family and co-workers (although not required in any way). Pledge goals are as follows:

$25 Donation = Torbie Death Ray patch
$50 Donation = Torbie Death Ray mug
$100 Donation = Torbie Death Ray shirt

("Torbie Death Ray" was an imaginary band we though these cats would be in...logo designed back in 2017, and we would always sell their 'merch out.)

All riders will be listed on a donation page (unless you don't want to be listed)...first initial, last name

I found this 2x4 in the shop today.

I am in the habit of writing notes on construction to find later, by me or someone else.

2011 represents the construction of our Gowanus shop.

2019 is our 7th Avenue shop.

I feel this is a fitting time to find this perfect memory...before I recycle it and it again gets new life.

Fitting.
