OAK BAY BICYCLES
85 Years of Awesome! BIRTHDAY BASH — JUNE 7/8/9
Start your cycling experience!
T
his year, Oak Bay Bicycles is celebrating 85 years of serving Victoria cyclists. Beginning in the days of a single type and colour and growing to today’s plethora of styles and choices, we have shared passion and our love of cycling with thousands. We’re proud and grateful for having been part of so many people’s cycling story. Today, more so than at any time in the past, the bicycle is offering something virtually everyone agrees our community can benefit from, a clean, efficient, affordable, and most importantly enjoyable mode of transportation and recreation. Though polarization has injected virtually all issues we face, however, when it comes to bikes, I have yet to meet the individual who thinks the bicycle is a dumb idea whose day has come and gone. The bicycle is part of the solution we seek, and Oak Bay Bikes will be focused on delivering this solution to you. Are we dreamers? You bet. Does the future look good from here? Absolutely! Please come visit us, we’d love to be part of your cycling story. — Karl Ullrich, Owner, Oak Bay Bikes
