Goodbye Strikes, Hello Bikes

Nobody really cared that Strikes closed, but since then we've been anxiously awaiting a worthwhile replacement. Hipsters, triathletes and eco-friendly citizens, you win! West Philly Local reports that Keswick Cycle, a full-service bike shop, will take up residence at the site of the former bowling alley and open the doors to its new 4,000 square foot space in August. It will sell bicycles and clothing, offer maintenance and even feature a studio to help "elite riders" get fitted for their bikes. Hopefully this provides the perfect alternative to schlepping to Firehouse Bicycles at 50th and Baltimore or shelling out a week's salary at Trophy Bikes.
