One of my favorite Blogs, the Bike snob NYC (*big apple bike commuter/biker/crit/fixie love-hater/bikes/bikes/bikes/ that has very direct sense of verbally describing bikes and peripheral issues, it is a must read, fellow blog readers*) makes it from the big apple to Austin TX, to check out Lance's Mellow Johnny's opening Party.

"I am supportive of any new bike shop, even if it is part-owned by a celebrity and doesn't really need my support. I'm even supportive of Chari & Co., who also had an opening party this past weekend in New York City, and I wish them nothing but success. (Even though the pictures I see kind of make me sick.) So I figure a new shop in Austin that's actually well-stocked, well-staffed, and worth a visit merits a little attention. I mean, it's no Dah Shop, but it's pretty sweet. After all, where else can you not only buy bike stuff but also look at Tour de France memorabilia and modern art, drink gourmet coffee, and take a free shower all under the same roof? Just add a retired cyclist in Nikes pawing at you and you'll know exactly what it's like to be Ashley Olsen."

Ah, Meligrosa. The courage to support that which also makes you ill. I salute that.
Any new bike shop is a wonderous thing.
There's some kids down the street who take old bikes that have seen better days and refurbish them with parts from bikes that have seen their last ride, as a whole, on the asphalt of life. I can't say for sure that each one was legally obtained, but I still support the idea of recycling cycles. More bikes! - 3 years ago
