Come help celebrate National Bike Month and California Bike Commute Week in May with Bike to Work Day. Bike to Work Day is a promotional event to encourage non-bike riders to try commuting by bicycle. Bike to Work Day in the San Francisco Bay Area is primarily funded by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission with the help of financial donations from event sponsors and volunteers.
There will be over 100 Energizer Stations throughout the SF Bay Area where cyclists can stop by for refreshments and promotional items. 511 Contra Costa has supported cyclists and Energizer Station hosts throughout Contra Costa County since 2001 using Bay Area Air Quality Management District funds and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority’s half-cent sales tax for transportation funds.

After a several month haitus, we finally received a new batch of Passion Trail Bikes wool socks, in Small/Medium, and Large/XL.
Made by Sockguy from Turbowool—a superior blend of 50% Merino WOOL and 50% polypropylene, this blend is 5 times the strength and durability of Merino wool alone. Shrink-resistant and itch-free our Wool socks will keep your feet drier and provide excellent insulation in all weather conditions. Our Wool socks also feature Sockguy’s “Easy-Fit” cuff and “Stretch-to-Fit” sizing system for maximum fit and performance. Our WOOL socks out-wick and evaporate moisture better than any other wool sock on the market today.
S/M fits a men’s 5 – 9, women’s 6 – 10, and Euro 37 – 42. L/XL fits men’s 9 – 13, women’s 10 – 14, and Euro 43 – 48, and they’re just $12 per pair.

These guys are just now starting to trickle in. We’re really excited to see them, but perhaps not as much as the three riders that have had theirs on order now for months. This one will be here only for a day or two, but we do hope to have a couple of demo SL-R’s in a few months. Those will stick around long enough for you to catch a ride or two on one.
Also, Ibis will be bringing a fleet of carbon wonderfulness to our Passion Demo Event here on March 17 and 18.

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.
The eternal internal infernal Passionate conflict
The Monk, he knows beer.
What new identity can you take on? We are dying to find out!

Girlfriends, mark your calendar for this upcoming Female Friday 8/26 at 6:00, and make some plans to join us for the best all-girl afternoon of dirt-loving fun. We will have a range of rides going out including a fast and far group, a regular ride, a white socks ride, and the famous Fat-Bottomed Girl ride, led by Patty to support inexperienced cyclists getting into riding on dirt.
