Bike Slug: Shop for the perfect vintage bike without leaving home.
OCTOBER 23, 2009
Let a Brooklyn bike lover find you a new ride and deliver it right to your neighborhood.
If you're looking for a cool used bike, and the options seem a bit overwhelming and surly bike shop employees make you squirm, Bike Slug NYC can make your life a little easier. Begun by cycling afficianado Alex Picca in Brooklyn in 2006, the little bike shop features a small, hand-picked selection of used bicycles featuring everything from high-end vintage international models to hipster low-riders.
Purchase the bike online, and you'll receive a Fed-Ex package containing your keys and an email with your bike's location for pickup almost anywhere in Manhattan and Brooklyn (delivery is $39 and includes a free lock). Fetch your new ride and get going. It's that simple.
For Picca, it's a labor of love, so quality is standard practice. There's a 3-day refund window, and a 60 day warranty for repairs. The store gets great reviews, and if you don't love the idea of buying a bicycle sight unseen you can meet up with Picca in Williamsburg or Bed Stuy to inspect the goods before you buy.
