@BroadwayBK I dont know about bike shops but I am across this feature this morning which might interest both the foodie and biker in you -

My favorite/local is 85th street and Lexington Avenue. They're always friendly and help pump air into my tires - I'm hopeless at doing it!

I'm not a bike rider, yet. But when I get one, I think I will check out the website above, just in case, so I will know where to go for help wityh my bike.

Thanks for the post, Uptowngirl.

@uptowngirl You know me too well.

@ajadedidealist Thanks for the recommendation.

For all you Brooklyners, there is a bike shop on Lorimer right across the street from Pete's. It doesn't have a name on it, but the guy sells really cool, fixed-up bikes for 150 bucks. He is sort of an underground hero because he's honest and reasonable and his tune -ups are quick and dirt cheap.

@JenMac Ah, that is exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for!
