New Store News: Timbuk2

On opening day, May 4, from 12 to 8 p.m. shoppers will find music, refreshments, a photo booth and giveaways. And on May 17, Bike to Work Day, the Timbuk2 crew will be out in force with Energizing Stations featuring Kind bars, both at the store and in-action on the Burke Gilman Trail.
The company plans to launch a bike share program later this summer.
