Have to applaud this solution to rocketing retail rents: longtime (19 years!) Gotham Bikes repair guru Sammy Acevedo has opened his own shop in the neighborhood: a perfectly appointed van, which he parks on the corner of Chambers and Greenwich. It’s a great business model, if you ask me, and Sammy seems like a lovely guy. (I was tipped off by two fans of his from Gotham.) He’s there from 9a to 7p, Monday through Saturday. He repairs bikes within an hour or two (he doesn’t have enough room to keep them overnight, for the most part) so you drop off and come by and get your bike a bit later, all fixed. Sammy said most repair jobs are done in an hour.

“I was very happy to hear Sammy’s voice last week as I walked past schlepping Whole Foods bags,” wrote S. “Great convenient service and he takes pride in what he does. He has fixed more broken strollers and bikes than I care to imagine.”

I bet you can call for an appointment too.
