Hostel Shoppe

We're excited to announce that we just posted our recent interview with Azub to the Hostel Shoppe YouTube channel. This interview was filmed at Recumbent Cycle-Con 2026, and we brought back every demo trike featured at their exhibitor booth. This includes several configurations of the famous Ti-Fly X and Ti-Fly 26, as well as an Azub Fat trike and an Azub Six bike.

Check out the full interview on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/0JxMmzJUmDw?si=1RTq76M9YjIQ0A1J

They are available now on the Hostel Shoppe website. And even better - each ride is 10% off, meaning you can save up to $1,700 on your next ride.

We're sad to be saying goodbye to our neighbors at Slap Bang Bagel this week. Their last day of business will be Thursday, October 1st. We've been fortunate to enjoy so many delicious coffees, sandwiches, and lox bagels from their cafe over the years. We will miss them a lot! So if you're coming down to the shop in these next couple days, be sure to stop in to the cafe and grab a coffee or a bagel on your way over.
