If you haven't yet visited
718 Cyclery's new home in Brooklyn (
3rd Ave. corner of Union) you simply MUST! Not only is Joe an incredibly nice guy (along with his friendly staff) but his new shop is HUGE, well stocked, includes a nice sitting area, has rental bikes, is open until 8pm most days of the week, and continues to offer
collaborative builds. The new space also home to
maintenance and
safety classes, a
Do It Yourself (DIY) Bench, and
bike boarding if you are lacking indoor winter storage. You can even
rent out the space for your own event...
umm, if I hadn't eloped years ago I would totally entertain the idea of getting married here!
Seriously, could you ask any more from a bike shop?!
And... with Black Friday almost upon us, don't underestimate
how important is it to SHOP LOCAL and support brick and mortars like 718.
While I was incredibly sad when he moved the shop out of his original Park Slope spot (around the corner from my place) -- it was totally for the best.
That look like an amazing place, where one can "pop in for 5 minutes" and emerge, thoroughly entertained, half a day later. I wish we had more places like this in the UK...
