Spokeman Cycles

No need to venture out to Long Island City anymore for Spokesman Cycle’s ultimate biker haven. The family-owned business has set up shop in the heart of Union Square. The spacious store—more than double the size of its flagship—caters to everyone from the beginner rider to the advanced. Accessories include Chrome messenger bags (from $110), high-end performance saddlebags ($60–$200) and Velocity rims in all colors, including funky argyle print ($300 a pair). Owner Carlos Dall’Orso suggests the hybrid Bianchi Cortina ($429) for a “stylish and reliable all-purpose bike, great for commuting and recreational rides.”
