More Than a Bike Shop

Sometimes a bike shop is more than a bike shop, as in the case of the West Hill Shop, in Putney, Vermont.  The New York Times writes about the remarkable physical plant, which is something less than a barn, and about the remarkable dedication of the proprieters, who are more than enthusiasts. It’s not unusual, the Times reports, to find national-caliber athletes picking through the boxes of vintage bike parts in the shop’s storage shed. A nice piece about a very nice place.
