We apologize! Our e-mail "Shop For Sale" had some unintended consequences. We had no intention of causing activity or deep concern. We simply did not realize how much impact the last line of that e-mail would have.
Quite simply, poor choice of words. We have far too many ethical, not to mention legal obligations to the community, customers, co-workers, landlord and suppliers to simply lock the doors.
The closing statement should have read something more along the lines of "We (the Anderson family) will be closing a chapter of support in daily functions of Bicycles Unlimited".
Many questions and concerns came our way since our initial communication. "Where are you going?", "Are you moving?", "Where do we go for our bike stuff?", "Who is going to take care of me?", "What happens with my warranties/guarantees?", "Is Tour Of Faith still on?" and more.
We are not clairvoyant but here is what we can tell you. Mark and Holly are NOT moving. We WILL continue to support and grow cycling in this community and Georgia. Bicycles Unlimited (hopefully) will continue as it has for 14+ years. It is too much a part of this community to simply disappear. Warranties/product guarantees can be supported as well. Tour of Faith WILL be supported and promoted by at least the Anderson family to support Bicycles Unlimited and benefits to be decided.
While there are many questions to be asked and answered regarding the future, we are NOT simply locking the doors and running away. That is not our style. We love you all too much for that. Mark will simply not be running daily operations. Until we find an appropriate resolution for this, we will still be active in the business.
I am sorry for the panic caused by this statement. It's a big step for us and while we proofread the letter, we did not intend the final statement to sound is it did.
Thank you all for your patience, understanding and support as we transition (as smoothly as possible) to the next phase of our lives. We look forward to seeing you as we make the most graceful, careful and thoughtful conclusion to our involvement with the ongoing entity Bicycles Unlimited.
Go ride a bike!!!

SPRING!!!!!
The weather is (finally) delightful! Come out and join us for a leisurely ride on the paths tomorrow morning. We leave at 9:30 sharp. We'll be out about an hour and a half. No one is left behind.
We won't go if it rains, and helmets are required. It's entirely a fun ride, and we do it Every Saturday!
For that matter, check our website for information on all our weekly rides.
