There is a new bike shop in the Valley. While attending the midwest classic & antique bike show in downtown Menasha, Pratter was there with his vintage collection, which he displays at his new shop in downtown Neenah, Cranked Bike Studio @ 200 Main St. Their focus is restoring vintage and "garage" bikes so people can get back into cycling. They do have new bikes & stuff, excellent parts selection, and cool stuff. ( full display of chrome mess bags!!) Very Cool Shop. Check it out...These guys come up to our clunks quite often, so you'll here more of this shop. They host a Tuesday ride, 6pm, 15-17 mph average, 20-25 miles from the shop. Check them out or the website is www.crankedbikestudio.com

The new clunker club blog

After years of holding clunker rides in the Green Bay area, we have now set up a blog for all riders to use to get the latest information on upcoming rides, questions, ideas, etc. Even though a clunker or classic or cruiser is not an absolute requirement to participate, they are the preferred ride. You can find them on almost any day at curbside, rummage sales, flea markets, and so on. Anyone can post to this blog, and this is the way to spread the love of bicycling. The bicycle is so much more than a fitness or recreational vehicle.
