KC's Bikes & Trikes for Tykes closing doors

Saturday, July 07, 2007

Calvert Guthrie of Bikes and Trikes for Tykes in Kansas City sent the following sad message:

Kansas City Bikes & Trikes for Tykes & Adults must close its doors.

We're being evicted from our warehouse--it's being razed next month.

1415 IRON Street North Kansas City Warehouse district.

JULY 14th 8AM....This is a total clearance sale!!!

We have hundreds of bikes that must go NOW.

If we don't sell it or give it away, it goes to the dumpster. Yes, I know, but it's out of my hands.

Prices on all bikes are dirt low and are sold as is. Some restored bikes remain but are going quickly-- they are not the only values in stock. Many of the older bikes are loaded with hard to find, barely-used, retro parts... freewheels, Suntour parts, thumbshifters, bottle cages, racks, saddles, long-reach brakes for 650 wheel conversions, &c.

All proceeds go to paying our overhead and for storage of our tools while the organization is reformed.

Plenty of bicycle wonks will be on hand to help folks find a bike that fits them.
