New Bike Shop In Cambridge: Hub Bicycle
Written by Boston Biker on Jan 28Hub Bicycle is opening in Febuary 1st, looks like they are going to be specializing in repairs and parts, not bikes. Should be fun to check them out. Their site, their blog. I may be wrong, but this might be the only female owned bike shop in the area. I wish them the best of luck!
Chic Cyclists even caught them putting up the sign!
