Sad news for Chicago but such great news for Bailey and Allison. We wish Bailey and Allison the best and many great years to come for Comrade Cycles

From Bailey:

There is just no easy way to begin this. No ideal transition with which to lessen the difficulty in finding the right words. As of March 1st, Comrade Cycles sixth anniversary, I (Bailey) will be moving from Chicago and ending my time at the shop.

Comrade will continue with it’s mission to offer our community top notch customer service, repair work, gear, bicycles, advice, and general support in all their cycling endeavors and aspirations. I leave the shop with absolute confidence that it will only continue to grow stronger each and every year, enabling us to continually better serve our community while offering the most fair and equitable workplace possible for anyone who becomes a “Comrade”.

I will, along with my fiancé Allison, be moving temporarily to Stillwater, Oklahoma to work with my good friends at District Bicycles and train for my 2018 Tour Divide attempt. From there we plan to move to the southern end of the Rocky Mountains to open a new shop in the Spring of 2019. Stay tuned!

It's a loss for Chicago, but a great move forward for Bailey following his dreams! Comrade Cycles is coming up on their six year anniversary on March 1st. Their first year that they were open, Bailey, Jesse, Steve and the others on the Comrade team had been mentioned all over the cycling community for recovering about one stolen bike per month, by searching serial numbers and talking to people that were bringing in the bicycles. 


Below is a link to my story of bicycle recovery with Comrade:
