For independent bike shops across the city, it’s a cutthroat climate, thanks in large part to the proliferation of Citi Bike. But it’s not stopping upstart companies from entering the market. Like Gogo Gone on the Lower East Side.
Gogo Gone opened last week on the second landing of 138 Eldridge Street. You wouldn’t know it was there if not for a tiny placard in the window. The boutique start-up is a one-stop bike shop that sells a variety of high-end bicycles while offering a suite of repair services.
Brands carried include SKU Bikes, Hawley, Kryptonite, OGIO, and Aventon.
By the way, Gogo Gone is hiring sales/repair people, if you’re interested in joining the team.
