It was a big day today for Zayin! He came in with his dad shortly after we opened this morning to have us switch out the seat post on his fairly new Strider push bike for a longer one, and then they left so that he could go try it out. Well, he did so well that the whole family came back just a little while later to help him pick out his first real pedal bike, and now he’s all grown up and zipping around under his own power. Zayin, we know that your dad is super proud of you and that you’re going to be crushing those pedals in no time!
Have you been E-bike curious, but too embarrassed to admit that you don’t know where to start? Have no fear, Blue Line Bike Lab is here! We’re proud to be partnered with another awesome Houston brand, Euphree Bikes, and we carry a full complement of their amazing bikes right here at 1504 Yale street in the Houston Heights. Swing by and throw a leg over one, and then you can decide if going outside and having a blast is for you. What are you waiting for?
Power's back y'all!
Come get you some AC and maybe even a little bike part or something. The complementary Montucky Seltzers that our friends over at Favorite Brands hooked us up with ought to be cold in an hour or so, and you're more than welcome to pour one down your gullet. We'll be here until 5, and there's WiFi and working power outlets if you want to charge your phone.
For those keeping track, or current count is 18 days without power since summer began.
Ok guys, we still don't have power but thanks to my awesome friend Bala we will have a generator today to get the doors open and the computers on. I don't know yet if the phones are going to work, and it's going to be nice and warm inside, but we'll have enough light to work in and some fans to keep things sub-tropical. We're going to shoot for 11am-5pm and see how it goes. If you're in need of a bicycle or bicycle related accessories, or you're just tired of standing on the curb with your neighbors and drinking beer, slide on by and hang out with us for a bit.
Well guys, we still don't have power back. We'll let you know once we're up and running again. Summer of '24 has been pretty awesome so far, lol.

So what is a Blue Line Bike Lab anyway?
Now here's a little story that I've got to tell about two rad brothers that you know so well. It started way back in history with David Zapalac and me, Fred Z. The year was 2005, and I'd been managing another local bike store for a while and was looking to make a move. My brother David had recently moved back to Houston from Laramie, Wyoming, where he'd been attending Wyoming Technical University to become an ASE certified auto mechanic. We had both been saving up our money for a while, and we put our heads together and brainstormed what would one day become the best bike shop in Houston. It took us a while to find just the right spot to open our new store in, and we were close to giving up when we stumbled across an abandoned old convenience on a deserted street in the Heights while out on a bike ride. We stopped and wiped the dust off the window so that we could peek through the bars, and we liked what we saw so we called the number on the For Lease sign. A few months later, on October 31st, 2005, we took possession of our original location at 3302 White Oak Drive without ever having set foot inside the building. As it turns out, looking through the bars of a dirty old window is not really the best way to judge the condition of a building, and our first steps through the door were a rude awakening. The place was in shambles, and clearly had a family living inside of it in third world conditions for quite some time. We'd already signed the lease though and were committed to our course, so we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. With our parents and my wife Jennifer laboring beside us, we worked every day except Thanksgiving from morning to midnight that November and were able to open for business on December 1st, 2005. It's been a wild ride ever since!
People ask us all the time where we came up with the name Blue Line Bike Lab. Is it a law enforcement reference? Are we hockey fans? Do we track race? Well, no. The truth is that we wanted something that sounded cool, and that's just what we came up with. The Blue Line part was actually supposed to reference a river on a map since we'd originally hoped to carry kayaks and paddling gear alongside our bikes, but that proved to be a pipe dream in the amount of space that we had to work with. Maybe one day we'll make that part happen, but it won't be anytime soon.
"You're the reason that we're here, and we can't wait to meet you."
