Went here based on the referral of a friend and couldn't have been happier with this place. It's over near the Triple C Brewing Company at the south end of Southend. Real cool vibe when you walk in - lots of different styles of bicycles and gear. They even have cool earrings made out of things like bottle caps and small bicycle parts. As an old codger, I'm not nearly cool enough to comment on all the coolness so I'll stop there.
My wife wanted me to womanize her Cruiser bicycle as a Christmas gift. Yes, a Cruiser is already a womanly bicycle. But she wanted to womanize it even more by getting one of them big ole baskets on the front. Sorry, I've just yet to see a guy on a bicycle with a big basket on front. Not counting Pee Wee Herman of course (or were his baskets on the back?)
This is all in an effort to continue the evolution to car-less-ness. This way, my wife can bike to the store and farmer markets for groceries and produce - she's like a yellow belt on her way to eco-warrior status. The Cruiser also only has three gears and it's hard to go up hills. I had to get that remedied as well.
But I don't have a clue about bicycles and John, the guy working here, was great. He got everything done in one week, well before Christmas. Price seemed very reasonable too. Everything including a tune-up was around $100.
Thank you John and Spoke Easy!
