Trophy Bikes

SORRY for our recent absences! Had a memorial service, a trade show and a wedding. We are back on our semi-grueling noon-6, Wed-Sat schedule, selling/servicing/explaining BROMPTON Folder Bikes inside a small shop (with good stereo system!) at 133 S. 23rd St. in CC PHL. @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social

REMINDER: our Center City PHL storefront is on break–we RE-OPEN Wed., March 25, at Noon! @fitlerfocus @rittrow

“You have corporate media owners who are increasingly fearful of running afoul of the Trump administration that characterizes #ClimateChange as a ‘hoax’ & climate action as a ‘scam’…” Stop looking away, media. The #ClimateCrisis is the biggest news of our lifetime, with breaking stories EVERY day.

We have “spiffed up” Trophy Bike’s analog sales floor, to better help us compete against the AI-powered, digi-fronted omnichannel consumerverse. Some things remain unchanged—including our Technics / Marantz / ElectroVoice stereo system — the *best* of any Philly bike shop. @wkdu @wprb @wxpn

THIS VERY SATURDAY (2/28) : a pen, paper + post card POP-UP, Noon-to -6 pm, tucked right inside @trophybikes.bsky.social

Once again. It’s a folder bikes roll to the Philly Bike Expo. Free; any and all makes/models of folder bike invited. Goals: Have fun, group photo, get to the Philly Bike Expo around doors open time!

"We value speed more than human life. While our roads remain as they are, and present speeds are kept up, the slaughter will continue..." —George Orwell, shown with his newly-adopted son, writing about hypocrisy of pedestrian-shaming "road safety" campaigns...in 1946.

The Brompton sprockets are easy to clean—if you know how. That yellow spacer between the 13 and 16 is always visible when a Trophy tune-up is completed.

BROMPTONS EXPLAINED— this Friday at 12:15 p.m. • part of the @designphilly Fest.

We have a Fam Event this FRI, 9/19, and thus must close at 3 PM.

WE HAVE SOME FEELS about @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social discontinuing their biggest seller. OUR UNDERSTANDING is that the 12-speed will be the new core model going forward (we’ve got them in stock right now), along with a 4-speed version (haven’t ridden one yet!) • COME THROUGH and we can discuss.

Every little bit helps.

UM, you may have noticed that Brompton Bicycles are getting more costly. THUS, maintaining your Brompton is more worthwhile than ever. It’s Free to have us take a look and make sure it’s all good.

Heard this one? The City of Barcelona traded 3 lanes of vehicle traffic for an exceptional 4.7km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid. Businesses sued, & eventually won in court. Then they admitted that they actually like the change. Streets for people are good for business.

As it says; oh, and while we’re gone, don’t forget Transport Cycles in Fishtown stocks Bromptons and B parts!

UM, great, turn your bike handlebars into another effing workstation/ tracking device. Shmartcockpit? HARD NOPE.

Wilhelm Reich’s 1933 book - The Mass Psychology of Fascism - concluded that a key characteristic of fascism is the ability to derive joy from inflicting cruelty.

This is the new reality.

i really can't get over what rank choice voting does to the dynamic of campaigns and between candidates regardless of its merits (which seem very good), it's just a healthier political dynamic

PLEASE NOTE TWO SCHEDULE CHANGES: • •• 1) SAT, 6/14 – shop will Open APPROX. 3 PM, for gov’t. issues. ••• 2) WED, 6/18 – shop will be Closed all day for a family matter. Sorry for any caused inconvenience.

The teeny BROMPTON toolkit is clever for emergencies—but is it practical for Brommie maintenance? We’ll investigate in this hands-on, FREE class—on SAT, June 21, 10 AM. Save yr spot with an email to info ( at) trophybikes. com. ••• Trophy Bikes - Brompton Specialists since 2003, in Philadelphia.

Inquirer architecture critic Inga Saffron published a powerful column criticizing the project’s design and disregard for neighborhood impact.

So this guy Jeff B, an “avid cyclist” who’s part of the new ‘FIENDS of Pine & Spruce’, a group of concern-y citizen-motorists who oppose all protected bike lanes, got in my face at today’s opening celebration for the new Christian-to-Crescent bike path. The irony of our location utterly escaped JB.

As noted below: we’re back on Fri-BUT we may not be clearing repairs quite as quickly as we’d like!

A parking garage at 3000 Grays Ferry Ave. is headed to CDR. This CHOP-affiliated structure will rise six stories and include parking for *1,005* vehicles - which seems a bit obscene for this unusual location that's between their eastern and western campuses. Maybe more to come?

We have the NEW Brompton 12-speed ready for you to test ride. We’re open Wed-Sat, Noon-6 pm, at 133 S. 23rd St. in PHL. • Trophy Bikes • Brompton Specialists Since 2003.
