With our delivery season now well over, we just wanted to say a quick “THANKS!” to Molly Cameron and all the folks at Veloshop (Ryan, Jake, and Brent). Without your support, space, and occasional food, TreesByBike would not have done so well.

Thanks a lot for everything.

Help our friend by supporting them. Visit MollyCameron.com and stop by Veloshop for any of your bike needs!

Today, 12/23, Portland Sucks had me, Max, on their show to talk about TreesByBike and the whole delivering giant items by bicycle experience. Robert Wagner and Sabrina Miller were excellent hosts, and extremely entertaining. It was hard to get myself together at first, with a lead-in immediately following some classic comments by Robert.

Thanks again Portland Sucks!

Trees By Bike has reached the next level of total Christmas Tree delivery domination. Today, Friday the 18th of December 2009, marks a day that will always be remembered as “Trees By Bike being mentioned in BikeSnobNYC’s Friday quiz” day!

That’s right, the unruly New York bicycle elitist has cast his burning stare upon our woolen northwest backs. And things for us will never be the same.

P.S. for the few emails I’ve received. No we do not deliver outside of Portland, and yes we realize it’s funny to ask that question over and over.

As of this last Tuesday Trees By Bike is officially out of our regular trees. There are some table-tops that have to be cut still, and those will be offered on our blog at a special price.But as for buying any other trees, we’re done for the season. It’s great news, we had so much fun riding trees out to people and spreading some holiday cheer.

If you still need a tree, don’t worry! Edwin, from A Convenient Cycle in SE, is also delivering trees this season. Check out his blog for information on how to order a tree or some firewood to keep you warm this holiday.

Thanks to all our customers. This was an excellent opportunity for us and we hope you enjoy your trees.

A great video piece featured on KGW channel 8 news. They spoke with me (Max) and Hazel. It was fun working with Joe Smith and his camera guy to try and capture what we did this month.

We are both glad and saddened to announce that we are quickly running out of trees.

We sold our last 7′ and 8′ Nobles, as well as every Doug Fir except for a monster 8′1″ and one with a broken tip that will we offer on our blog for a cheap price later.

We’re so over-joyed that so many people wanted our trees, and we want to help everyone, but it looks like the trees we have in stock are going to be the end of our trees for this year. Our tree provider is out of trees and the other providers we have spoken with are being a little more difficult to work with. The cool thing is that we’ve had such a positive response, and we’re so thankful.

So grab a 4′-6′ Noble while you can, because the trees are quickly being sold out!

We’re also going to offer some special table-tops and “special needs” trees at great prices on our blog, so stay tuned.

Thanks Portland, we love you too.

Oh wait, I mean our beautiful trees and our excited…oh well, you get the idea.

TreesByBike has been enjoying the enthusiasm and excitement that every one of our customers has shared. From single people in their studio apartments to families in their urban condos to local businesses in their workspaces, TreesByBike has been spreading (and receiving) some serious holiday cheer.

We just wanted to take a second to thank all our customers so far. You’ve made this dream really come true, and it means a lot to all of us.

Here’s a little shout out to a few we got photos of! (If you send us a photo we’ll post you in future blogs too)

Thanks everyone!

According to FOX 12 news in Portland (KPTV), TreesByBike is helping keep everything weird. While we do appreciate the press coverage and good words, we are slightly confused by the weirdness of using bicycles to transport Christmas Trees. Did Christmas Trees start being used after the creation of cars? Oh well, Thanks FOX! (I never thought I’d say those words seriously)

Introducing the Riders of Yule. These faithful folks will be delivering trees all season. Thanks to them we have charitable organizations to donate some money to as well as the legs and wheels that make our world turn.

Ever since the site launched last week, we have been battling the internets to get our shopping cart to work. Pre-claim orders were coming in daily and we had just about given up on having an online shopping cart. But then, magically, everything fell into place.

Now you can order a TreesByBike tree from the comfort of your living room and pay with debit or credit via GoogleCheckout….we also offer cash on delivery if you are so inclined.

So everybody, make your way to the Order page and order a tree today.
