Zombie Bike Co-Op is your one stop Co-Op for bike parts and complete builds. Don't have the funds for a new bike. Why not recycle an older bike and at the the sametime get satisfaction that you put it together yourself with the direction of the zombie guys and gals.

Don't need a new bike or more parts? Already got the tee's and bags? How about some bike art from local artists for you walls. You know it is way past time for you to grow up and replace that cheesy ass PBR poster. Check out some bike art and if anything catches you fancy email me at bikejax at gmail.com and I'll put you in contact with the artist.



Not in the market for locally made bike stuff? Fine. Not a problem. Just make sure you purchase your bike related stuff at Local Bike Shops. While not supporting local art, you are still at least support local business and putting food on local tables. A complete list of local bike shops is located on the right hand of this page. And don't forget to tell them that Bike Jax sent ya.

BBB Art Show - Hosted by Zombie, Burro and Royal Treatment on Sat, Dec 20. All the info @ BURROBAGS.COM

We're having a huge raffle of very quality items made locally in Florida. 3 of the listed groups will be vendors that night, too! Catch all of us together on one night. Last minute shopping is always better!

It's also an art show. Bold City Brewery will be doing a beer tasting and 74 Sound System will be selecting the tunes.
