Bronx River Bike Works destroyed by fire

Mount Vernon, NY lost its only bicycle store this month to a devastating fire. Bronx River Bicycle Works was an old-school bike store that had been around for decades.
Ted Mitchell, the owner, lost his business, home and all his personal possessions. Insurance will only go so far.

There is a gofundme set up:https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ted-...pd+share-sheet

Thanks.

That was super sad. I've had them fix up some older bike for me. They were the only shop that I know in Westchester that was willing to do inexpensive repairs.

I haven't gone by lately, but I assume they are out of business?
