Thanks for a great Hub on Wheels 2010!
Thanks friends and family of Urban AdvenTours for coming out to bike Boston! We had a great day, made a lot of new friends and met up with some buddies too. Here are some of our favorite photos from the day:

Lazer precision for your brains
Check out UA Crew member Craig’s take on how he keeps his head covered:
I recently purchased the Lazer O2 helmet when my old helmet started to seem beyond the recommended life span of 2-5 years. My experience with the O2 so far has been great.
I have a pretty large head, and helmets do not usually fit me comfortably – if they’re long enough, they usually have too much room on the sides and flop around – if they’re snug on the sides I usually end up with a headache from how tight the front and back are. Lazer’s adjustment system, Rollsys, snugly holds the sides of my head from the temples all the way to the back of my head, without any discomfort whatsoever. It’s really easy to adjust so it fits perfect every time.
While I picked up the classy matte black version, there are a variety of styles, and Urban AdvenTours has their own custom red Boston helmet too. Mine came with a removable visor as well. The visor is a nice touch, but I prefer to ride with a cycling cap, which is also easy to fit under the helmet.
The helmet is lightweight and aerodynamic, with plenty of ventilation for hot days. In addition, it’s just a very good looking helmet. Sleek and stylish, the Lazer O2 is my favorite way to keep my head safe.
Get ready to roll with the Urban AdvenTours team!
We’ve started to have some crisp morning rides into the shop, which can only mean one thing… fall is here and it’s almost time for Hub on Wheels! Join us on Sunday, September 26th for a great cycling event at City Hall Plaza. The city wide ride is a celebration of bikes in Boston and a closed Storrow Drive, not to mention an exciting Mayor’s Cup crit race and the Boloco Block party.

They’re here they’re here!

Stay tuned for more images, and maybe even a little fashion show too. We have men’s and women’s sizes as well as another style, in red, not shown here. Come by the shop to check them out!
Cruising through Labor Day Weekend!
What a weekend! It’s just starting to wind down now as our 6PM Bikes@Night tour rides off into the sunset. We’ve had incredible weather down here in Boston’s North End and we’ve had customers enjoying every square inch of the city from the South End to Fenway to Cambridge to Brookline.
Riders along the Charles River
We’ve had visitors from near and far this summer as well as the occasional stow-away too. And while it may look like we’re hanging loose on our new favorite landmark, the Big Hammock, we’re getting ready for a big autumn of fantastic bike tours.
In fact, our famous Emerald Necklace and Fall Foliage tour kicks off next Saturday, September 11, 2010 at 10AM. You can make a reservation ahead of time online and check out reviews of our tours on TripAdvisor and Yelp.
So come join a tour and check out the bike shop before riding into the sunset starts to happen much earlier in the day!
