An Adventure With Bicycles in Downtown Phoenix

Hello there amazing people! I am back after a minor respite. After the previous emotional post, I figured that I would come back with some fun! And as always promoting a wonderful new local business.
Let's hear it for Phoenix Bike Company...wooohoooo!!! Welcome to the downtown Phoenix area! This amazing new shop officially opened up on Saturday, December 16th and is in a fantastic area of downtown, right close to the stadium.
The shop is easy to access and located at 816 E Washington Street Phoenix AZ 85034 near the Northwest Corner of 9th Street and Washington, across the street from the beloved Luna Culture Lab. Juan, the owner is an awesome dude! His vision to blend vintage bikes with newer models and antiques strewn throughout the shop is amazing and gives this shop a wonderful, homey appeal. The shop is loaded with nostalgic items and filled with beautiful, rare bikes. When you walk in it is bright and colorful with music playing and RAD the movie showing on the TV, or possible a documentary on bicycles. There are racks of vintage BMX bikes with their chrome shining bright and rows of some of the coolest Schwinn bikes that I have ever seen! He also carries apparel and hats, tools and accessories for the bikes, stickers, tire tubes, grips, bells, lights and so much more! As I was walking through the aisles I saw a rare Schwinn Sneaker bike which was the last of the Schwinn Stingray bikes. It is beautiful! There is a signed BMX mini bike signed by famous BMX'er Eddie Fiola. He also has a really cool vintage Schwinn Tandem family bike that will be available for renting on one of the bike rides that will be hosted by the shop. The store had a soft opening on Saturday, December 16th. There were people who just came in after skateboarding by the shop and we had people come in that were so excited to see a bike shop open up in the area, they kept saying how cool it was inside. The shirts were flying off the racks. And let me tell you about the shirts....they are wicked cool! Printed by Sol Prints (another local business from the West Side), they are high quality, soft, affordable and come with a sticker attached! They feature some really cool designs and of course there are ones with the store logo to represent while cruising through the Phoenix streets. This past Saturday the 23rd he hosted a Family Holiday Bike Ride. It was so amazing to see how many people came out and showed support. They brought their whole family for a ride to local businesses and had a blast! It was so nice to see people come together and show support and bring the family for quality time together. After all, making memories and spreading positive vibes is what it is all about. When you get a moment stop in and check out the shop, you will not be disappointed. James the shop manager is very helpful and always has a smile on his face. Juan is more than happy to share stories and knowledge on all things BIKE. This shop is so cool that it might even bring back nostalgic childhood memories and make you dust off your old bike that has been sitting in the garage. Many thanks and much love!
