Adeline Adeline? Seen it from the outside...it was closed. Might bet Rivish. Worth look, tho.

I bought a toddler helmet for my son at Adeline. It's set up more like a fashion/clothing store (which is the owner's background) than a bike shop. Super comfortable to browse in there. It lacks the technical inclination of a Rivish shop, though. Accessories offerings include quite a few baby seats, Brooks accessories and baskets. Bikes are mostly Linus and Pashley. It's somewhat out of the way for out-of-town visitors though. You can make a stop there after touring Wall St and 9/11 Memorial, I suppose.

NYC Velo in the East Village is a great shop. They have lots of cool frames hanging up. On Apr 11, 1:33 pm, Chris cch...@gmail.com wrote: I bought a toddler helmet for my son at Adeline.

Try Hudson Urban Bicycles http://hudsonurbanbicycles.com/ in the West Village. Definitely not the typical road-bike-centric shops you see mostly in the city. I can check out the rental selection sometime for you if you are interested. Bike Works http://www.bikecult.com/works/index.html at the Lower East Side is my go-to LBS. It's a small shop, but you can see Surly, Soma and Nitto stuff. The owner Dave is a very reputable wheel builder. One worker there actually rides a RB-2. I'm not sure if they rent out any bikes though. What's your size, btw?
