last month / renovating... not yet open
Last month, posters of over sized images of bicycles in a storefront peaked my interest. Then last week while biking in Tribeca along Reade Street's bike path... I was thrilled to find Adeline Adeline was open! FINALLY - NYC's answer to London's Bobbin Bicycle.
Adeline Adeline is "a very nice bicycle shop" indeed! Julie Hirschfeld, store founder and graphic designer, translates her aesthetic and design expertise into the world of bicycles beautifully by creating a cheerful and friendly "bicycle boutique". Located two blocks from the West Side Greenway bike path (perfect for test rides!) the shop is well stocked with a great assortment of city bicycles "that focuses on comfortable, relaxed riding for pleasure"! They also have a full service shop downstairs + stylish selection of accessories from helmets to baskets to bells...

It's well worth a visit!
Lovely bicycle boutique! Nice mix of products.
ReplyDeleteSeems like it would be so much fun to own a bike store. I envision a really luxurious retail environment... hardwood floors, coffee, books, and a rest area with a fireplace. Imagine these will be quite popular in just a couple of years.
