Bike Shop of New England

I've had the idea to do a video series of some of the Bike Shops in New England. I started with Tomten Biketown located in Leominster, and I do have several more Shops lined up for future videos. If you have a Bike Shop that you really like and might be interested in showing there shop, and how they got started please message me.

There's a bike shop in the Bangor area, Pats. I had a problem on tour, we got a lift there, and they were very nice about fixing it on the spot. I've only been there once, but I think of them fondly.

If you go there, you're not far from Acadia... you simply have to go to the Jordan Pond House and have the lobster chowder and popovers. It's the law.

There are two LBS in my area that are run by avid riders and enthusiasts. Riverside Cycles in Newburyport is kind fo a Roadie place and The Bycycle Shop of Topsfield is more MTB. Plus, they have a shop dog.
