"Coffee resonates with cyclists," Everstone said. "I don't know any cyclists who don't drink coffee."
He doesn't sell as many bikes as conventional bike stores, but he says he has created a niche by specializing in stripped-down retro-grouch rides without suspension, derailleurs and lots of gears. Instead, these are urban warrior machines with single-speed, fixed gears, coaster brakes or new-generation internal hubs.
Though I guess I know the first and last names of a couple people that I only knew by one word nicknames now...
