Denver Bicycle Cafe

Denver’s Beloved Combined Cafe-Bar-Bike Store Is Closing at the End of the Month - Eater Denver

"The Denver Bicycle Cafe and its neighboring Tandem Bar have been serving coffee, bike repairs, and beer for eight years on 17th Avenue. They are closing due to construction disruptions in the neighborhood and a restrictive lease that made it impossible to sustain the business. The cafe, which includes a bike shop, will remain open through October before hosting a goodbye party on November 1. The increasing property value and lease terms have raised their shared space cost by $1,000 per month. Construction of the Park 17 apartment complex has blocked sidewalks and traffic lanes, making it challenging for the business." - Paul Albani-Burgio
