Grand Opening March 28th at 2434 South Western
STOP-PRESS: as the (contents of) the storefront are being moved tomorrow, Wednesday March 25th, the storefront at 1125 S. Western Avenue will NOT be open!
Starting on Saturday, March 28th we will be open for bike sales at our new location at 2434 S. Western Avenue in Chicago.
The days and hours of the sales operation will remain the same as before. These are Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 12 to 5 PM. We will have no bike sales on Wednesday, March 25th at our old or new location due to our historic southern migration.
Volunteers are welcome during open hours as well as other times by prior arrangement. The new building is about 2 miles south of our existing location. It is accessible by the Western Bus as well as being four blocks south of the Western stop on the CTA Pink Line.
