Winter is not only a tough time for those of us who like to ride bikes but also on those who make a living repairing and selling them. Like all bike shops Tom Sawyer Bicycle Shop is in the middle of the slow season. Unfortunately for them during last year’s peak season they had months of construction at their intersection of Broadway & Mt Vernon that no doubt deterred or detoured business. Bike shops generally depend on the good seasons to get them through the bad.
This time of year is always a good time to have your lbs (local bike shop) tune up your bike(s), have wheels built, hubs repaired etc… The bike shops need the business and you’re probably not riding much anyway. You could even have them sell you a new bike in anticipation of Spring!
