I have lots of stories of those days. One time at NW Cycle, a guy was banging on the door before we opened and really wanted to get in. Finally I let him in and he walked right past me, an charged up the stairs to the loft where we kept all the cool Italian frames and Davidsons. After a few minutes he came down slowly with a quizzical look on his face and said "Where'd you put the canoes?" I said, oh, they are across the street in the main store, where they've always been! (That's REI if you're not from around these parts).
Pine St Cycle was originally down Pine street about 5 blocks, then they moved 5 blocks farther down later on. But Velocipede took over the space on the corner of 11th and Pine that was formerly part of the REI store.
