Vintage Bike Shops, COOPs and Swaps Lexington, KY
Looks like I will be moving to Lexington Kentucky next month. All you C&Vrs, are there any bike COOPs, or shops that cater to vintage cycling? Any good swap meets? How about bike paths?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

A buddy of mine from work ended up there after we all got furloughed last year. Was meaning to give him a call, anyway. Will ask him and report back.

I know of one MUP that we discovered while driving to a family reunion some years ago, the Legacy Trail.

I've ridden the Horsey Hundred around the Lexington area four times over the last 10 years.
That's a great area of the country for a cyclist!

Apparently lots of people here ride the bourbon trail. I plan on trying to do that in the Spring.
