Y’all know we normally get these pictures with the big Hub Bicycles sign, but it was pouring when Jimmy picked up this FX +2 - however, we could not let him get out of here without a picture.

Jimmy Peebles is a resident of Sparta, Georgia. He and his very sweet wife, Belinda, are firm believers in rails to trail paths and what they can do for small towns. In October when the @georgiahilo puts on the Athens to Savannah ride they will be there with snacks, big smiles and a lot of cheering for the riders. They also were involved in Kids Bike League as supporters and an extra set of arms when they were needed. Here at The Hub we’re so glad they chose us to help them find the perfect birthday bike for Jimmy. Now, they’ve just got to agree on where they’re going to park his newest whip!

7AM Group ride

August 12, 2024

While winter is Jim's favorite season, the end of May, June, and July are my favorite month to ride! Many of you know Jim leads a 7AM M-F group ride from the parking lot of the HUB and as sunrise is now before 7AM more of the group has been showing on a regular basis. Over the years he has noticed the early risers, associated with UGA, have more time during these months. Additionally, the afternoon heat has a lot of others looking for the cooler morning temperatures. Whatever your reason, we enjoy the social time that can be had while riding and treat ourselves each Friday to a post-ride coffee with our friends.

VITUS I Rider Stories: Flicker Racing

A far cry from the secluded team buses of the European peloton, American crit racing is grassroots, hard and fast street racing amongst a feverish crowd. It pits the world’s fastest professional racers against amateurs skipping out on their 9-to-5’s in chance of an upset. It’s all about the atmosphere, the electrifying vibe – and no team epitomizes the scene better than Team Flicker Racing.
