Bikeshop downtown Philadelphia.. name?
There's a bike shop on Walnut St. in philadelphia... 17th or so. I can't remember the name of it. It's not breakaway, it's something farther east... can't remember the name.

hmmmmmm fyi dont go to breakaway it's the worst shop ever. their service is terrible. The only shops I can think of are Bike Therapy, Trophy, Via, and Breakaway. sp00ki do you ever chill in rittenhouse?

There's a sporting goods store in the 1600 block of Walnut, but I don't know of any bike store there.

no, f*ck downtown.
if i'm going to spend time in a city park, it'll be washington square park where cops don't ticket you for riding a bike and you can share a bottle of wine in the grass without having to watch your back.

I can't think of anything on Walnut. All I can think of is Breakaway on Chestnut.
