Chicks, Bikes and Brooklyn: A Woman-Owned Bike Shop in a Changing Neighborhood
Posted by: Sarah Pappalardo | 01.15.2009 | comment feed
As I pet two curled-up, matching black cats, KT Higgins gets up to grab the ringing phone that sits in a pile of bike tools and unopened gear. “Bike Shop,” she says, and answers a few questions before sitting down with the cats and me.
In its six months of existence, this unassuming building on DeKalb Avenue has been called “Brooklyn Bikes,” “Bike Shop” and, most recently, “Velo Bikes.” With nothing but a hanging canvas sign to mark its place, this one-room, woman-owned bike shop is evolving as rapidly as the neighborhood it occupies….more…
Girl power rolls on 🙂
Update2 h/t to Sarah and my favorite Brooklyn website!
…and KT’s a movie star too 🙂 Appearing at about :54 before she gets hit by the cab…she’s fine!
I can’t hear anything on my computer right now (my glitch, not yours!) but what an impressive young lady you’ve raised diggins!
This is an awesome undertaking! She’s a role model for other young women. Good job, diggens, ya done something right!
Way cool!
Awesome! She rocks! The shop’s website is really well done and easy to navigate also.
Neat!
