Cincinnati Bike Shops - Bicycle spoken here
Shops offer knowledge for everyone from toddlers to experienced riders
BY JOHN JOHNSTON / Print | digg us! | del.icio.us! Fabulous finds is a periodic series that focuses on where to find the things you want. When it comes to bicycles, one size doesn't fit all. Nor does one type. Some cyclists thrive on rough, off-road trails. Others prefer fast-paced road racing. There's nothing wrong with leisurely rides around the neighborhood, either. And some people enjoy a little of everything. A specialty bike shop can determine what suits your needs, such as a mountain, road, hybrid, recumbent or BMX bike. Its staff will size you for a bike and properly assemble, adjust and lube it. Here's a selection of shops that sell and service bikes for children, entry-level adult cyclists and experienced enthusiasts. All offer test rides, and they'll repair any bike. CAMPUS CYCLERY 241 W. McMillan St., Clifton Heights. 513-721-6628; www.campuscyclery.com. Years in business: 35 What's special: The shop's location makes it popular with commuters. The staff, avid cyclists, has seen an uptick in interest in fixed-gear bikes, which have a single gear; whenever the bike moves, the pedals go around. One year free service with bike purchase.
