Bicycle Longmont Holiday Bike Program - FREE PINT
http://www.timescall.com/news/longmont-local-news/ci_19235595?source=most_viewed
LONGMONT --Buzz Feldman believes nothing should prevent a child from getting a bike for Christmas.
So, for the 24th year, Longmont's Holiday Bike Program -- Feldman's brainchild -- will allow hundreds of local kids to receive bicycles at Christmas.
"Last year, we had 439 bikes, and everybody got a new helmet," said Feldman, who started the Holiday Bike Program in 1988 with Bicycle Longmont.
The Longmont Fire Department and Ed & Ruth Lehman YMCA also are part of the program, which offers bicycles each December to families who cannot afford new bicycles.
This year's drive started on Labor Day and will keep going until Dec. 5, and so far, 100 bicycles have been collected and restored.
Each year, the Longmont Fire Department collects about 500 bicycles for the program. The donated bicycles are picked up by Jerry's Posse, led by Jerry Seguin, and restored at Sun Construction Co.
The bicycles will be ready for children to take home at the Y-Pals Family Christmas Party and Bike Giveaway at the Ed & Ruth Lehman YMCA, 950 Lashley St.
"The experience is magical for a child," Feldman said. "The kids need bikes, and a lot of families can't afford anything for Christmas. People need some help. They can get to the park and the library with those bicycles. It changes lives."
To donate a bicycle, drop it off at any Longmont Fire Station, at Left Hand Brewery, Oskar Blues Home Made Liquids & Solids or Oskar Blues Tasty Weasel Tap Room. The most-needed bicycles are those with 12-, 16-, 20- and 24-inch wheels for both girls and boys, although the organization welcomes tricycles, scooters and toddler cruisers for children.
"Our goal this year is (to give away) 400, so far. We've collected about 150 bikes and of those, we have 100 ready to go, but we still need a lot more bikes," Feldman said.

Geoff Mooney's REEB Ride
When Geoff's not drinking a beer, he's putting beer in a can. Geoff is the man behind the Oskar Blues Brewery can line. He and the boys come with the smart assed one liners on the bottom of the cans next to the dates.
Geoff is back on the bike after a few years off it chasing powder on those snow sticks. If you catch him in a lift line at Eldora be nice, he's probably packin' a Ten FIDY he's willing to share.
We've been doing the early ride thing, hitting Lyons trails at 6:30 for a pre-work day meeting.
Geoff's from the land of Ice & Snow and was appropriately trackin' "Spin Cycle" by Eyedea & Abilities while the 11/10/2011 version of Mama's Little Yella PILS was hitting the can.
Enjoy it.
Predictions: Minnesota Wild will win the Stanley Cup & Gopher Hockey will win the NCAA. He takes 1 lump of sugar and 2 lumps of milk in his coffee.
Sorry about that buddy.

The Fort Collins Coloradoan: Oskar Blues taps into mountain bike industry
Written by
David Young
LONGMONT – What’s beer spelled backwards? It’s the name of a new mountain bicycle company launched by Oskar Blues.
The Longmont-based craft brewery, known for its canned beers such as Dale's Pale Ale, is looking to break into the mountain bike industry with its new company REEB, beer spelled backwards, Cycles.Chad Melis, marketing director for Oskar Blues, said Monday morning that the company is manufacturing hand-made, steel, single-speed, 29er hardtail mountain bikes using the Gates’ Carbon Drive system.
Gates’, based in Denver, Carbon Drive system is a “belt” driven bicycle drive that replaces a standard chain, according to the company. Compared to a normal chain that requires lubrication and maintenance, Gates’ dubs its belt drive maintenance free.
The first batch of 20 REEB bikes sold, primarily to employees, quickly, Melis said. A full line is rolling out by the spring, with the next 20 bikes hitting the market around the end of the year.
In a market where multiple gears and full suspension are standard for many mountain bikes, REEB is taking a more simplistic approach and breaking it down to the basics.
Melis said the single speed rubber belt driven bike fits with the brewery’s style of simple out-of-the-box thinking.
“We look forward to going full-strength next year and trying to capture the essence of Northern Colo-rado riding and the terrain we ride up here,” Melis said.
To start REEB will offer two models around $1,200 for the frame, and between $3,000 to $4,000 for a full build out.
