My Trip to The Hub

OK, so there I am pulling up to the Hub at 811 N. Boonville (across from the city government complex) this morning on my Redline R530 and I notice — no bicycle rack. Hmmmm… So I remember what my buddy Dave says about businesses that don’t provide racks: “I figure if they don’t provide a rack they must want me to bring my bicycle inside.”

Well, as it turns out — yes — The Hub does want you to bring your bicycle inside. That’s where you’ll find the two racks they provide :-)

They have a nice space — very comfortable — kind of loft-chic with exposed brick and pipes.

I had a well-made mocha, and I sat and read the newspaper for a while enjoying the sunlight filtering in the large front windows.

The guys there are friendly and helpful. There’s really not a BMX theme that I could detect. Instead, their BMX bicycle shop is connected to the coffee shop through an open archway of sorts. I think what we’re going to see here is a general bicycle-friendliness of a kind that I have been suggesting other coffee shops employ.

All The Hub needs now is some bicycle art (can you say First Friday Art Walk?) and the place is all set.
