Several local bike businesses will have special deals this Friday — a.k.a. “Black Friday”. We got the details below…

Pedal PT has 20% off bike fitting gift certificates until Dec 4. There’s also a great coupon in the Chinook Book.
Anti-sales
Kenton Cycle Repair, 10:30am-6:30pm: “Come work on your bike! Or have us work on your bike, or we can teach you how to fix your bike. **Labor is free of charge**, donations accepted if you feel so inclined.”
Gladys Bikes, noon-4pm: “You’re invited you to come in, hang out, ask us questions about your bike, get help with quick fixes, make use of our tools, learn tips for adjusting your brakes, practice fixing a flat, eat leftovers, tell jokes, listen to sweet jams… whatever you feel like.”
The Bike Farm collective says “the shop and tools are free to use this Friday, 12-4 (much like “Open Shop” on first Thursdays). We’ll have some food as well, and you’re welcome to come hang out and talk bikes!”
#optoutside
REI helped kick off the idea of #optoutside. Not surprisingly, it has caught on with many shops, it’s very similar to the “anti-sales” listed above.
Sugar Wheel Works will be closed the whole weekend to #optoutside. There’s a 20% off sale through the end of November, code RIDE2016. Next year they will be having a bunch of free clinics for the basics and some advanced topics.
Do you know of any local shops having sales? Post it below, or have the shop email me.

Thanks- JM fixed. Was missing a href quote.
Careful with the #optoutside hashtag. I had someone from REI contact me about an image I used that hashtag on. They wanted to use my image in their marketing for free. It was great that they actually asked instead of just stealing my image, but still disturbing that they would think it is ok to use peoples images without paying them – not cool, not cool.
They don’t think it’s okay without approval, which is why they asked you. You can so no. You can also ask for money.
Holy Spokes – 15% off of all kids bikes and balance bikes, plus a $10 gift card for with purchase of $100.
3070 SE Division, open 8-8
Thanks.. Just added this to the post.
How about a gift that *always* “fits” (haha, see what I did there?): 20% OFF Bike Fitting Gift Certificates now until Friday, December 4th!
(Also: We’ve got a killer coupon available in all Chinook Books- 20% off Bike Fitting, which can be used on Gift Certificates too..) Call or e-mail us to reserve yours today!
