Read MoreWe have a few announcements to make, so let’s get right to it. First, Caroline and I are expecting a baby girl (our first) this fall! Hurray! To accommodate her arrival, we’re restructuring London Bicycle Cafe, and changing how the store operates. Here’s the quick rundown of how we’re shaking things up:
New operating hours, with increased focus on appointments for sales and service.
Expanding bike offerings, including city bike rentals, repair clinics, and workshops.
Suspending all restaurant operations. Our last day open as an espresso bar will be Friday August 16, 2019.
