Ben came to us today with a problem: his bike got run over while locked up on the side walk and he needed a new one. As a bike messenger and Boston Bike Messenger Association Vice President, obviously a bicycle is not only a means of transportation and a friend; it’s a necessity.
“I would borrow my friend’s bikes, but they were all custom, really nice bikes, I couldn’t ride how I normally do,” said Ben.
While Ben’s Budd frame is being repaired, he wanted a solution that was his.
That’s when he saw the Charge Scissor frame.
He was attracted to the frame for a variety of reasons.
“It looks nice, and I wanted something I could ride downtown and really beat on. I can go down stairs without a worry!”

Ben took it out for a test spin and loved the geometry.
“It’s fast and comfortable, I’m going to have a lot of fun with this!”

Hey-o Internet.
It’s getting to that time of the year where more bikes are hitting the road (yay!) and group rides are cropping up (double yay!)
Some of you might remember last year when we started doing lady rides. That was fun. We should probably do it again. Don’t you think?
Let us know your thoughts. Comment on our blog post. say something on our Facebook page, write us an email, give us a call, tell your friends. Let’s make this year’s lady ride the best one yet!
