there is no bike stores in my area,

there are many bike shops in NYC given the many Burroughs included,
, bundle the kid up and go see a few.
..even Staten island, is a free ferry ride, you know..
the people at the shop will even outfit the completed bike with a child carrier seat,
and a helmet for the young sugar plum head
and with the subway system you don't need a car, millions don't either, there.
