I grew up in NY and I love bikes. New York City is a busy, fast moving blurry city and it is a cycling city, you will meet some of the craziest riders here, and we have it all man. The roadies, mountain bikers, track riders, bmxers, messengers, bike cabs, commuters, bike jousters, tall bikers, retro snobs, single speeders -- the list goes on. They all cant shop online and in NY there are some good reasons to get out and support the peddlers of the ware.
After working in shops all my life and supporting NY's cycling addicts I have decided to devote this blog to bringing you the latest news in all of NYC's bike shops. From simple store information to indepth reviews and the latest on whos got what in their display cases, plus the stuff you dont see. Learn what shops get demo bikes and where and when to borrow them. What shop rides they have planned. What lines they carry and when the sales are ON. I also look foward to making a section for retro shop shots with bios on the owners and interviews.
As good as the shops are, NY has some of the best riding. From mountain biking in the fall at Blue Mountain and taking the Metro North back to the city or breaking in a new road bike at Harlem Hill in Central park at 5 in the morning before work. How about flowing in traffic and getting places in the city faster than most anything and surviving?.. Just dont lock your bike when you get there. NY's so dope we have a lock named after us by the worlds biggest lock manufacturer. Riding destinations will be posted here and updated frequently.
My mission statement is to bring you all the best possible information I can on every shop in all the 5 boroughs and help my fellow New Yorkers enjoy something I've always loved to be a part of.
