Had my bike tuned up there a few weeks ago. They did a good job and didn't try to upsell me, which other bike shops have done; Daniel was honest about what my bike needed and what was just fine (it had been in storage for awhile). I plan on going back there if I need any repairs, etc.
Hi Richard - I often get this kind of comment when I write about new stores. From a news perspective, being "new" is what makes it a story. Anniversaries make it a story. There has to be a hook. I've talked with business owners in the past about having a regular business update column to get established businesses more coverage. When I ran Townsy, I regularly emailed almost every store in town every week to try to get such news. I got no responses. It's a puzzle. I notice Sebastopol Living does a good job of featuring longterm businesses. But that's because they're a magazine. They don't do "news" as such.

Please report too on the other bike store in near the Barlow
