City Velo, a custom bicycles dealer, is now open for business in the former salon space next to the former Linden Hills Florist space.

While we will have a selection of fine cycling clothing and shoes, we can hardly be called a Clothing store. We WILL be offering selected service and repairs to the community, but our sales draw is at least regional, if not interstate. Please drop by in … more ›
