It’s been getting darker earlier every day, and we’ve still got a few weeks to go until the winter solstice — and even after that, a few more months until our commutes home will be in the sun! Lights for your bike are not only critical for safety: they’re required by law in Massachusetts and…

As the weather cools, we’d like to take a moment to tell you about one of our favorite places to go for rest, relaxation, nordic skiing, fat biking and more… our sister company, Camp Wapanacki! The camp is a four-season camp for adults and families, with a number of cozy, heated cabins to enjoy as…

We’ll be closed November 21 and 22 for Thanksgiving, and we’ll be closed on Black Friday in support of #OptOutside. Go outside and play!

We got our first snow last night in Boston, and as we enjoyed some good food and company over at the Beantown Pub while watching the snow fall down on the city, we also got to thinking about what promised to be (and were!) our cold, wet commutes in the morning! So, after we pulled…

Although most of us here at Urban AdvenTours and Urban Cycles do ride all year round — with some of us even opting for fat bikes in the winter — we recognize that cycling through the cold may not be for everyone, or every bike. Got a sweet ride you don’t want to ruin when…

Ah, riding in the city: some of the most fun, and most… excitement, you can have on a bike. Everyone here at the shop rides their bike in the city (at the very least: we all ride in to work!), and almost all of us commute by bike all year round. Because of this and…

As the weather starts to change along with the leaves, so do hour hours! From Nov 1 until March 1, our hours will be as follows: Tuesday: 9am – 6pm Wednesday: 9am – 6pm Thursday: 9am – 6pm Friday: 9am – 6pm Saturday: 9am – 6pm We will be closed on Sunday and Monday.

Happy Halloween from the UA Team!

As the weather begins to cool, we’re already starting to set our sights on next summer. And you know what that means….new bikes! While one of our favorite things about a bicycle is its longevity: in addition to helping protect the environment by providing a human-powered transportation method, quality bicycles also reduce the waste cycle…

It’s that time of year again! The air is cooling, the leaves are turning, and did you know that Fog x Flo is going on until October 31? Now is the perfect time to check out the Emerald Necklace on one of our Fall Foliage Emerald Necklace tours and witness the majestic changing of the…

It’s a little rainy and gray today, so here’s a video of some dogs that joined us on a bike tour a few weeks ago to brighten your day! Their owners travel the world and bring them on their kitted-out electric bikes, letting the dogs ride in style in the trailer carriers. While we don’t…
