Warburton shop news flash
After talks with the Shire of Yarra Ranges, Councillors Tim Heenan and Chris Tremble have offered funds to cover part of the cost of connecting to mains sewer at our Warburton shop. Hopefully we can engage a contractor and get works started soon, stay tuned...

Rail Trail from the Mt Evelyn shop.
Things are quiet out there at the moment, but we expect when
People learn where we are, new habits will form.

Safe rolling in 2010
Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010 and greetings COG Warburton
Well another year is about to pass and here at Cog we wish everyone all the best for 2010. May your wheels stay true.
New staff in the workshop. We would like to welcome Em as apprentice mechanic. Em will be training on the job and at TAFE. Em joins us with a bike passion, so already she fits in well. She usually commutes by bike on one of her many rides. Em has also designed our new t-shirt logo. Check out the photo of the logo on the front of our soon to be opened Warby shop.
YES, Warby will open very soon, in fact January 2nd. Come on down and enjoy a coffee and say g'day to Damo who will be looking after the helm all of January. We have an exciting new summer drinks menu and a super sweet hire fleet including 70's retro rentals.
officially Summer, let's ride!
Even though we've already had a taste of some warm Summer weather, it is now December and hot weather and christmas are inevitable.
Great time to ride, so make sure your bike is in tip top condition. Need a new bike? We have some great deals on new bikes being superceded by 2010 models. Mountainbikes, comfort bikes, commuters, fixies ,...we do the all. Actually we have something new in the shop!!! Not one but TWO belt drive bikes. One is a demo bike, so if you are interested/intrigued/sceptical you have no excuse but to come and at least check 'em out. They are Carver Titanium framed 650B and 96er frames.
Damo has just returned from Newcastle where he rode the Singlespeed Nationals> He has some photos on the Cog Bike Cafe flickr photostream.
Speaking of new bikes, Angus picked up his new Jamis X24 last week and was overheard saying "this is the best day I'll ever have" Check out the photo. There is nothing like the prospect of riding a new bike, at any age.
We're sure Angus will love his new bike and 'pistonhead' helmet. This is the third bike in his family purchased at Cog since we opened 4 years ago.
