I'm so happy to have a place like Allo Vélo in the neighbourhood. I went in with a pretty old bike wheel that needed a new tire and tube- as outdated as my bike is these guys still had what I needed in stock. Furthermore, Nick even stopped what he was doing to change the tire for me.
I've been subject to a lot of B.S. with male bike mechanics in the past who treat women like we've got cotton balls for brains. No sexism with these folks- I was spoken to like an equal and hey, the coffee I had was pretty good too. I highly recommend these folks and plan on going back.
Oh and the space is adorable FYI
