[RBW] Re: Rivelo closing in January

Many of the bike shops in Seattle have shifted more to maintenance/repairs. Lucky for them, an astounding number of bicylists (present company excepted, of course) barely know how to add air to their tires, let alone do anything more complicated. On Thursday, January 2, 2020 at 10:17:33 AM U

I was glad to visit John's shop on my riding visit to Portland. I think it's a really hard market, and maybe especially so in Portland, where there seem to be as many bespoke boutique bike shops as brewpubs and beardwax purveyors. The market can only bear so many... I hear Norther Cycles is goi

As we closeout 2019, I want to thank Rivelo for the five years. It is a wonderful shop and Darby and John were always kind, patient and helpful. I bought my Joe there and still have a few things to pick up. I will miss Rivelo but glad they are keeping the Instagram going. I also hope Portla
