Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop

Best Place to Start a Bike Trip
Sandy Carson

In a town with more than its fair share of great bicycle shops, it isn’t enough that Lance Armstrong, the most famous American cyclist in the world, is the owner. Named for the French pronunciation of "yellow jersey," the shop takes full service a step beyond the usual with a cafe, repair shop, clothes, classes, group rides, rows of brand-name cycles, lockers and showers for commuters, and a friendly staff that is excited about sharing cycling with the world – even the beginners.
