Papa Wheelie's Bicycle Shop

Join us Thursday for another installment of our Thursday Night Gravel! We are desperate to find some dirt! This week will be a little less smooth gravel and a bit more “All Terrain Bike” with a hike-a-bike section and a few rooty and rocky trails around Foss Farm and UNH College Woods. Bring the bug spray!

We will leave form Schoolhouse Lane in Durham near Tideline Public House. Please park on the street in marked spots! We will be hanging around at Tideline after for a post ride beer! We will leave promptly at 6. Hope to see you there!

43 years and 15 generations later, Stumpjumper is better than ever. Redesigned from the ground up, Stumpjumper 15 features 160/145 mm of travel, 6 distinct geometry settings, plenty of bling builds, and the new GENIE rear shocked developed with Fox. The new GENIE rear shock give the feel and control of a coil spring, better bottom-out prevention than a standard air spring, and a tunable “platform” for a playful feel. Come down to the shop to check it out!

Join us for this week’s Thursday Night Ride! We will be riding in and around the York Water District. We will roll out at 6PM at the Blue Trail Gate on Chases pond on Scituate Road. No drop, conversation pace as always, with a nice mid ride climb to the top of Mt A! Given the nature of the fire roads around Chases Pond, 32c + tires are recommended (the fatter the better). We hope you can join!

Join us this Thursday for our 2nd Thursday Night Gravel ride! We will be leaving from the Rockingham Rail Trail head in Newfields, just off route 108. We will roll out at 6. This week’s route might get a little muddy in spots! All are welcome!

The Monday Night Ride is riding again today at 6:00 pm. 25-30 mile loop through the back roads of Pease and Newington and back up the coast.
Join us afterwards for some pizza and a beverage at the outdoor dining area at Otto's Pizza across the street from Papa Wheelie's Bicycle Shop

Join us this Thursday, 5/30, for our first Gravel Group Ride! We will ride the Rockingham Rail Trail, beginning and ending from the Newfields end off of Route 108. This a social ride, at a social pace! No land speed records will be broken. Gravel bikes with tires wider than 32C are recommend.

This will be the first of our semi-irregular, bi-weekly rides where every other Thursday (most of the time) we host a 15-25 mile ride. Will some end with a trip to a local brewery? Maybe… you will have to join to find out!

A recap of our 16th annual bike swap this past weekend. A HUGE thank you to everyone that participated and helped to make this event possible. And a special shoutout to Seacoast Area Bicycle Riders - SABR for stopping by to talk about their ongoing efforts to make riding more accessible in our community. This was our biggest swap to date - we couldn't have done it without all of you!

If you entered your bike in the swap, we are in the process of going through our sales from the weekend and will be reaching out to let you know if your bike(s) sold or not. More info to follow!

We had a great turnout yesterday at our swap, but still have plenty of bikes for day two! We'll be open from 11A-4P running the swap outside today. Weather is looking great, come swing by!

Specialized released the new Epic 8 a couple weeks ago, so we thought we better show off a couple of the models we have in stock. Pictured here is the new Epic Evo Pro and Epic Expert. Capable, efficient, and lightweight are some of their biggest personality traits. Come swing by to try one out!
