Because of the abundance of goatheads in Colorado, we often recommend using high performance tires and slime, or tubeless tires. These can help reduce and avoid getting flats during your ride.

We service all types of bicycles and help keep you rolling!

If you ride a bicycle in Colorado, you’ve probably heard the word “Goathead”.

Goathead thorns bear a remarkable resemblance to their nickname. Tribulus terrestris is an annual that adapted to grow in dry climates and otherwise tough conditions. This makes Colorado an ideal spot to find this invasive plant. Goatheads can be found all over Colorado, but especially in brush and prairie terrain.

A sound strategy for dealing with goatheads is (T)hreefold:

Terrain – If road biking, stay on paths / street (versus grass and field)
Tires – Quality tires will help resist goathead punctures
Tubes – If your tire has slime, the slime helps to keep a puncture from deflating your tire. Some riders opt for tubeless tires. In a tubeless tire, the tire and the rim of the wheel form an airtight seal by adding a liquid sealant.

Mobilebikeman.com Services UCAR Blue Bikes

Mobilebikeman.com services UCAR Blue Bikes in Boulder, Colorado.

Both Mobilebikeman.com and UCAR value recycling, sustainability, and support of local business. And of course, we both love bicycles. Thus, it is a great match.

UCAR Sign

The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research is a nonprofit consortium of more than 100 colleges and universities. They provide research and training in the atmospheric and Earth system sciences. UCAR manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research with sponsorship by the National Science Foundation.

UCAR created a Transportation Alternative Program. As part of the TAP program, the UCAR Boulder campus provides Blue Bikes for employees, worldwide research visitors, and interns. That’s two-wheel with a view, no charge! It’s a planet-friendly way to get around the many campus buildings. But it’s also a great way to explore the town, or try out bicycling for the first time.

Mobilebikeman.com Services UCAR Blue Bikes

Mobilebikeman.com services UCAR Blue Bikes by providing regular maintenance, tune ups, and safety checks for all the bikes. Many bikes were built just for UCAR to be as commuter-friendly as possible.

When bikes are donated or abandoned on campus, they find a new life as a Blue Bike. With a tune up and a little blue paint, the bike becomes a part of the fleet. Blue Bikes have been part of the UCAR/NCAR community for fourteen years! It’s a great example of how UCAR values sustainability and recycling.

When Mobilebikeman.com services UCAR Blue Bikes, we get to take the mobile bike shop to Boulder. Often, the color of the sky matches the color of the bikes.

It is so cool to see people from all over the world on the campuses, looking up at the sky and stars.

Recycling and Sustainability

Mobilebikeman.com had a love-at-first-sight connection with UCAR. We both love recycling, supporting the community, and of course bicycles!

Some of the Blue Bikes are so well-loved that they have reached retirement. When Mobilebikeman.com services UCAR Blue Bikes, we inventory the useful parts from the “retiring” bikes. Then we use these parts to help fix up the Blue Bikes still in action. We also recycle all of the used tubes. This gives the mobile bike repair team the opportunity to practice recycling and sustainability, too.

Mobilebikeman.com is very happy to support the UCAR Blue Bike Program.

Happy Riding! 🙂

Mobile Bike Shop Repair Van Launch

Mobilebikeman.com launched another Mobile Bike Shop Repair Van during the busy bicycle season of 2017. This van serves Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs and the Front Range areas. We come to you at the comfort of your house or workplace. Because Colorado is growing, Mobilebikeman.com is growing, too!

The new Mobile Bike Shop Repair Van launched in May @ the Colorado Primal Bike Expo @ Broncos Mile High Stadium. The van was placed between two major Franchises: Beelines Bikes and Velofix. Mobilebikeman.com offered Promotional Tune Ups for 50% off at the expo.

The Colorado Primal Bike Expo is the major Bicycle Trade Show in the State of Colorado. 303 Cycling, Bike State 38, Primal Wear, and Audi Denver sponsored and promoted the event. Riders and bicycle lovers of all kinds gathered to check out info on the latest products, trends, organized rides, clubs & teams, advocacy groups and cycling destinations. Some watched the BMX flatland and aerial stunts. Others participated in adult big wheel races. A demo area, antique bicycle display, and fashion show provided additional entertainment. For the kiddos, the expo offered Learn-to-Ride clinics, a Kid Zone, a Strider course, and free entry in the “Magic & Mayhem” urban bike event. The Colorado Primal Bike Expo brought together all things cycling and Colorado. Thus, the Expo was a total success.

Here are some pics from start to finish. Jose Rios De Vincenzo, founder of Mobilebikeman.com, is also an automotive rebuilder. Thus, he builds the vans himself with auto buddies. Using his auto rebuilding chops, he knocked out the painting, the vinyl decals and the custom interior himself. Says Jose, “I’m just an auto guy having fun in the world of bicycles”.
