Busy-Bee Work Weekend

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

For all those who have generously offered their support and asked what they could do to help us get over the fire, we’ll be hosting a busy-bee work weekend.

Bionicon has the keys to the new office and shop location at 21 Sierra Drive, Kernville, and we’re busy gathering materials, furniture and preparing inventory orders. We’re excited about the move to Kernville!

The work-days are Saturday and Sunday, November 21 and 22, from 8 in the morning until about 5 in the afternoon. We’ll host a barbecue on Saturday night, and will have beer on tap from our neighbors, just a few doors up the road, the Kern River Brewing Company. It should be a really fun weekend.

To sweeten the deal, anyone who comes out and puts in at least one day over the weekend will be eligible for a 10% discount on parts and services at the shop throughout the 2010 calendar year (excluding sale and clearance items).

If you have tools for sheetrocking, carpentry, or any other things we may need, please bring them. We’ll be doing some demolition work (moving walls and doors, removing restaurant equipment), sheetrock, paint, electrical and some plumbing work. We’ll be building warehouse shelf storage and counters.

Thanks again for all the support. It should be a fun, productive couple of days.

Start Date: 2009-11-21                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Start Time: 08:00

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

BIONICON Bicycles has relocated its headquarters and is opening a Demo Center in Wofford Heights, California in the beautiful Kern River Valley, a paradise of outdoor sports. Boasting world-class trail riding, water sports, climbing, camping and a brewery with one of the best IPA’s anywhere!

The Bionicon Demo Center will be open to the public beginning Labor Day weekend with free demos to all. Everyone is invited to come test ride a Bionicon on some of the most scenic and fun trails in California. Please call ahead to reserve a bike, (760) 376-8600. Bionicon will also be hosting a BBQ Saturday evening September 12, please email paul@bioniconus.com if you want to join the party.

If you have never ridden in the Kern River Valley it is time to come see what it is all about. The best riding seasons are from mid September through early November and May through early summer. The riding is also great year round, great trails and dirt (especially after rain) in the lower elevations all winter long and cool Sequoia forest riding in the high country when it’s too hot in the valley.

We look forward to seeing you here!
