As some of you might know, Back Bay had a huge fire yesterday, and today power is still out in large portions of the Back Bay area.
That means: forced day off for a variety of employees on Newbury street.
That also means: at night time, the streets are totally not illuminated and the eerie darkness makes for a kind of terrifying borderline unsafe bike ride home.
Don’t worry about it though, today we thought we’d remind you of the Serfas True series, awesome, wonderful front lights that will surely illuminate your path.
These babies are 150, 250 and 500 lumens respectively. Now what are lumens?
The SI unit of luminous flux, equal to the amount of light emitted per second in a unit solid angle of one steradian from a uniform source of one candela.
So, the larger the number, the brighter the light. Each one comes with a variety of different settings: Overdrive, High, Medium, Low, and Flash.
Each light lasts 3.5 hours on overdrive. True 150 and 250 last 8 hours on 50 lumens, while the True 500 can sustain energy for 8 hours on 100 lumens.
Now, all of that is numbers. Here’s a little demonstration of some of the power:
500, 250, 150.
Stay safe out there!
Spring is here in Boston. I am feeling hot today in a t-shirt and jeans and that feels GREAT! We have a batch of Sprint frames on the way just in time for the Spring rush. Stop in and we can give you the deets!

I know it can get rough especially when daylight savings comes around. The dreaded one hour less of sleep is hard on us all. The only good thing that does come about when we shift times is summer hours resume! We are now back to being open Monday – Saturday 11-7 and Sunday 12-6. This should make it easier on anyone who has a tough time making it in after work. Don’t forget that tomorrows weather forecast is predicted to be close to 70 degrees! So be sure to plan your “Ferris Buller’s Day off” ASAP!
When it starts getting warmer, one of the best things to do is ride your bike for ever and ever without a big back pack. But what if you want to lock up? Where do you put a book? A tube? A snack?
That’s where these come in super super super handy:
Fabric Horse Half belt utility belt and 59 fanny, Super embroidered hip pouch, Wheelman & Co Hip Bag and Freight Hip Pouch.
So. You have a set of necessities that you carry that don’t fit into an over sized wallet. Okay. That’s fine. Check out the made in Philly Half Belt:
Cordura. Recycled vinyl interior. W-A-T-E-R-P-R-O-O-F! You get a cell phone holder and a large pocket that can accommodate a large book, snacks, several tubes or a variety of small reasonable items perfectly. And you get….
U GOT IT! U LOCK HOLSTER.
(Personal plug: this is the one I own and love dearly. It’s absolutely a summer time necessity if you like to bike places and read books.)
Okay, okay. So if that’s too much for you, check out the Fabric Horse 59er Fanny:
Waxed canvas fanny pack on a recycled seat belt, water resistant with three pockets to easily fit a wallet, a small point and shoot and some larger essentials in the main pocket.
Next, check out our Superb embroidered hip pouch:
Cordura (lightweight, durable, comfy) material.
Oh and look at that! A little see through pocket for those small essentials! And it says Superb on the outside! Ca-hewl! Fits a small U-Lock and is Made in USA!!!!
Freight bags are super super popular here at Superb. It’s no surprise that the Hip Pouches are also hot items.
Water resistant material, large pocket with flap top,and an adjustable hip belt to accommodate all types of dimensions. Made in San Fran.
Anyways. There’s a run down. The weather is going to get not lame for a few days starting tomorrow, it’s the perfect time to start preparation for Spring and Summer!
If you remember last year when Brooks and Vans released their saddle and shoe collaboration last year, here’s your lucky chance to still grab one! We have 2 lucky Brooks x Vans Team Pro saddles left in stock from the collaboration. Only 500 saddles were made and if you regret not having gotten one or thought they were sold out, you can grab #167 or #174!
