August is officially here, and while the days are starting to get just a tiny bit shorter, our passion for spending every possible hour on two wheels is at an all-time high! Whether you’re chasing high-speed pacelines, looking for a casual weekend spin with a fresh brew, or giving your bike some well-deserved mechanical love, we’ve got a stacked lineup at Pumpkinvine Cyclery this month.
Here is everything happening across our Middlebury and Elkhart locations this August.

(Note: Offer applies to labor charges on complete service packages through August 31. Parts are not included.)
