Online shipping will be back from the 4th.

Howdy folks,

We have just finished up the operation of all the physical shops, and have closed the shipping of the online orders. We will be on a short break from the 30th to Jan. 3rd.

All orders that were placed within the 29th 9:00am will be shipped out during 2025. All orders that were placed after will be shipped from January 4th, when we come back.

Since we will have people waiting to have their orders shipped for a few days, we will be including the Puff Lug Sticker Pack and a calendar of 2026 for free in all orders that were placed after the 29th 9am JST, regardless of the total amount of orders.

These puffy stickers are currently a hip thing in the Japanese pop culture, so we thought why not give it a try? I think they turned out pretty nice! I’m hoping you will make a good use of these.

Calendars are just calendars. Has the same design as the puffy stickers which was done by our photographer/designer, Aro.

We will also be handing both out in stores when we reopen on the 4th. We’d like to think we’ve made enough to hand out til the 12th, but our apologies in advance if we run out sooner.

YouTube Schedules

*RIVENDELL* platypus (55) Sabu's

This is Sub the YouTube guy. He’s been working very hard to film and edit all the videos we put out on the Blue Lug YT account.
I felt like he deserves more attention, so I’m just gonna post this pic of him with his Rivendell Platypus.

Sub edited a lot of videos for y’all to watch while we are out and I’d like to share the upload schedule for the upcoming videos.

December 29th  – La Marche Workshop Tour
December 30th – Visiting the Ritchey Office
December  31st – Marin Museum of Bicycling tour by Joe Breeze
January 1st – Conversations with Grant Petersen & President Yoshikawa of Nitto
January 2nd – New Years Challenge 2026 Bike Mechanic Games
January 3rd – The CRUST World Australia Tour
January 4th – Daichi’s day off with Kenta

Most videos are from what Sub filmed while he was on a trip to the US and Australia, so there’s few videos that are fully in Japanese, but Nobu and I worked on the subtitles for the videos that are in Japanese. You can turn it on by pressing the “cc” button on the screen.

The Blue Lug crew would like to thank everyone who visited our shops, everyone who shopped online and for those who have been following our content.

2026 will be the 20th anniversary year for us and got some crazy stuff coming out. I hope you are buckled up as we are!!

Have a great new year.
