I’ll be in Philadelphia next week and was wondering if there are any good bike/triathlon shops nearby. How about it?

Bikes by Kyle - Bryn Mawr on Lancaster Avenue

There’s also a avery upscale shop in Manyunk…The name escapes me.

Cadence is the one in Manayunk. Elite Bicycles is also downtown.

If you go to Cadence you’ll be able to check out the BMC TT bike that Floyd Landis and the Phonak Team uses, which go for a measly $12,500 per frame. You can also meet my coach, Brian Walton, who used to be a Canadian…er, I mean cyclist.

It’s also the nicest bike shop i’ve ever seen, with very nice people to help you. But i’m biased.

Bring your bike if you’re stopping by on Tuesday and you can do The Drive’s Ride with us…it’s fast and scary, but a lot of fun!

I’m no fan of Bikes by Klye…go downtown and visit Bicycle Therapy and ask for Lee.

I’m with steve on bikyle… not a big fan. (bought my soloist there, wish i’d gotten it somewhere else). although they seem to be making some progress.

cadence is super spendy, but they’re nice people and not as snobby as their merchandise would lead you to suspect.

which bike shop i go to often comes down to what sort of stuff i’m looking for…
