I was in Roys Bike Shop on Coney Island Avenue in the Sheepshead Bay area of Brooklyn this afternoon. I consider it a high end shop, since they don't have any Huffy bikes there.

It's not my regular shop, as I usually go to Larry's Cycle Shop, which is a very laid back general bike shop, which has been run by the same family for 50+ years. Actually, Roys bike shop has been around for ages also. I remember back in the 1950's when it was located on Sheepshead Bay Road and run by Roy, the father of the current owner.

Anyway, you're not interested in all this history, nor probably in the rest of this post.

Out of curiosity, I looked at the new bikes in the front of the shop. They had three models of a bike with the lowest cross piece connecting the front and rear wheels. It's made by Biria, a German company, and is touted to be the easiest bike to board. Here's a link to some shots of the bike:

As it is always my intention to irritate people, I'm wondering how upset I could make some of the Robo Bikers in Prospect Park, if I bought one of these bike and rode it in a random manner during their speed runs?
