Anyone know good store for purchasing bike from? (Tamiami, Port Charlotte: transporting, big house)

[mr&mrssunshine]

Looking for a racing type bike rather than a mountain bike but most places seem to just sell the mountain bikes, anyone know any bike shops around Englewood, Port Charlotte, North Port or Venice area? don't mind purchasing a second hand one

We just bought two bikes in Punta Gorda, 5 minutes from us. They have a good selection, I ordered mine, and they had it in in 5 days. I needed a little bigger / taller bike frame than what they had on hand. They are very helpful. I also have a bike rack that I bought for transporting them, so if you need that Mr&MrsS. I be happy to help you with that too.

Bring her by my house, and test ride ours.
We have two different bikes, I think she and Fran talked about what kind they each liked (similar), and we talked about what we liked (similar).

I believe it's called Louie's. 941.423.2613

Here's another, in South Venice. The website doesn't seem to be working, but at least you'll have the address...

The one on Tamiami Trail in Punta Gorda is simply called "Bicycle". Cool name huh!
