Athenaeum Row or one of those houses on Congdon or Prospect that has a deck on the back

Yep, my first thought when I saw this was "shit, I hope they can get the votes." It'll be a battle.

You def want to check out the used/refurbished market then. Previous recommendations posted should be a good starting point.

Yes, I totally agree.

Not more than $250

The dreamiest street of all the PVD streets

I live near Branch too. I've only used Providence Bicycle for maintenance and they've always been great. When Wanskuck Mill on Branch was being renovated (for years), I took my Trek to their EP shop. That store had a used inventory.

Ironically, the Branch Ave shop is located on the most dangerous road for bicyclists, IMHO. Every 4th car honks at you for no reason, the pavement is treacherous. I've had trash thrown at me, been screamed at, been forced into the curb. Our neighborhood SUCKS for bike riding.

I also had a positive experience at Providence Bicycle.

OK well if the judge gets the blame when you get it wrong why do you get to brag about an 80% conviction rate?

Legend and Dash in PVD. Circuit in Pawtucket for BMX and Cruisers.

PBC is great

Yeah you'd be a shit plumber and nothing you installed would work right 😂

Pipefitters aren't plumbers in the same way that cops aren't decent people. Maybe there's a little overlap but for 95% of the people out there you're either one or the other

Might be good to give an actual budget you have. This way people don’t guess and you’ll get more detailed responses. “Good Price” on things that can range from $50-15000+ can mean different things to different people.

Legend

I’d go check out a Marin from Legend Bikes if you’re looking to commute daily— you need a bike that’s going to last. If you cheap out now I think you’ll end up spending more money in the long run replacing parts. Just my two cents

Probably by WaterFire park or the East Side (just can’t stand those speed cams).

I just love the city look and and historic look.

If buying new Legend Bikes in Fox Point is a good place to check, depending on your budget and what you’re looking for. If you’re looking to spend 100-200 bucks (ie Walmart prices) I’d look for a vintage road bike or 90s mountain bike from Craigslist or FB Marketplace before buying from a big box— the quality is typically much better than the poor quality, joyless mass produced bikes at Walmart

dope

I’ve had the best luck with Facebook Marketplace.

Especially now, when people are either upgrading for the new season & ditching their current setup, or just spring cleaning hobbies they gave up on.

I got mine for a steal from someone who gets a new one every year. Was barely ridden, basically brand new, for less than 50% of MSRP.

Stories like this makes it hard to keep subscribing to the ProJo.

Thank you

All major arterial urban roads should have 4-6 story buildings lining them with a mixed use design.

For a quality, mechanic-inspected used bike, in addition to the previously-mentioned Recycle-a-Bike, the Providence Bicycle Collective is a great part of the community. 🚲❤️
