Nice.

There is NO shortage of one-man bike shops in Seattle. You've got 12th Ave Bicycles and Collectibles, 20/20 Cycle (which really is much more than a one-man operation currently - they even sponsor a team now), there was Ti Cycles when I worked there way back when and recently I learned about another one - Mobius Cycle.

Mobius is run by "Niki" (a former bicycle messenger I believe) and although it's now also more than a one-man operation it embodies what I love about the urban bike shop.

• The entrance is in an alley.
• The shop is on the 4th floor of the building.
• The hours are "afternoon to evening - Monday to Friday". Nice.
• Niki seems to do what she wants and does it how she wants. Thank goodness for her there are like-minded cyclists in Seattle to patronize her business.
• It's in the heart of downtown Seattle.

The web site is slow as hell, it's organized in a way only Niki probably understands and I can't wait to visit this shop.

ASIDE - I spent some time following links and in addition to some very entertaining blog posts I also came across this deleted scene from the Fast Friday movie.

I have to admit that I love this stuff...
