Fort Greene Bike Shop Serves Booze, Repairs in Tandem
Let down your kickstand and stay a while. A Brooklyn bike shop in Fort Greene will now be serving beer and wine with its bicycle repairs, according to Gothamist.
After meeting a few understandably strict conditions to get insurance, Red Lantern Bicycles has obtained a liquor license and is officially off the wagon, making it the first bike shop in the area that will sell you a grog with your cog.
Before Red Lantern was allowed to ratchet up its beer-to-ball-bearing ratio, it had to agree to partition its boozing and biking sections, close before 11 p.m., and not offer bike rentals or hire a bouncer, according to Gothamist.
