NYC Celebrates Bike Month
It's Bike Month in the city, and Inwoodites are fortunate to have a great local outlet for bikes and gear in Tread Bike Shop on Dyckman.
A couple of issues back, Time Out New York featured Tread in its special city cycling section:
The Cloisters cast their shadows over Tread, a decade-old Inwood store that’s both neighborhoody and a shoppers’ destination. Employees are friendly and shun the up-selling that sometimes plagues Manhattan stores. With about 100 bikes on the floor and three certified fitters on staff, you have a good chance of finding what you want, particularly if you’re looking for a flat-bar road bike, one of Tread’s specialties. 250 Dyckman St between Payson and Seaman Aves (212-544-7055)
If you're itching to hit the road, Transportation Alternatives has a comprehensive Bike Month calendar. This Thursday, the NYC Mountain Bike Association will hold the Highbridge Summer Sprints, starting at 6 p.m. at Dyckman and Harlem River Drive. And Friday is National Bike to Work Day, with events across the boroughs.
