Today begins the Holiday Bike Sale with 10-20% off of selected items. Oh yes, this is the weekend to pick up some sweet deals on bikes and accessories. We are kicking off the sale with an evening event at Wheelgirl tonight, Dec. 13, 2008 from 4:30pm-7:30pm.
When you are done with your late afternoon ride, stop by the shop for amazing food treats provided by Berkeley's 4th St. Eccolo Restaurant, Bette's Oceanview Diner, Tacubya Restaurant, as well as Acme Bread, and some sort of crazy good dessert from Spenger's Restaurant. Oh yes, there will be beverages in the form of wine (think small cups of holiday cheer my thirsty bike-riding rock stars), as well as bottled water, and soda.
In addition, Thomas Viloteau, a world-class classical guitar player will be performing from 5:00pm-7:30pm. He is a phenomenally gifted young musician visiting the Bay Area via Paris who commutes on a Redline 29er 1x9 bicycle.
Hope
to see all of you cats tonight. If you see a bunch of dog head
paintings on display, you are in the right place. (Jump for more.)

Thomas is on this month's cover of Guitare Classique Magazine,and between giving concerts in Asia, Europe, and the US, he will be playing jazz and classical music tonight
at the Wheelgirl Bike Shop. So put down your iPod; tape that Comcast movie on
your DVR, and get yourself and your friends to the shop.
Thomas's CD
, recorded after he won the 2006 Guitar Foundation of American
competition a couple of years ago, is available on the Naxos label (a super fine classical guitar label.) For those of you who dp not follow the classical guitar scene, the GFA cometition is a big, big deal. It draws the best-of-the-best international classical guitar players and rewards the
winner with a CD contract, a bunch of money, and a concert tour of the USA.
