Readers' Choice: Erik's Bike Shop

Picking a best bike shop is like picking the best pint of Ben & Jerry's; it will always be up for debate. But in a quiet section of Northeast, Behind Bars roars like a fearsome tiger. It could be the rock that blasts inside the shop, or just the selection of bikes for people who like to ride. Masi, Kona, Gunnar, and Salsa are some of the brands carried: not the huge names, but mid-sized outfits geared toward the simple enjoyment of pedaling. What sets them apart from the pack is their dedication to getting folks atop two wheels even outside the shop. The Behind Bars logo can be seen flying at local races from the brisk Stupor Bowl to the Coldsprints held inside the Nomad World Pub. The shop also has some of the area's most affordable, quality tune-ups to get your ride riding strong. The workers at Behind Bars make all feel welcome. And if you like eye candy, EAI Bare Knuckle track bikes are available to order.
