A new community-oriented store Sylvia would have been very proud of !
Posted 7/12/2011
On a happier note, our last visit to Cleveland in June coincided with the opening day of the Joy Machines Bike Shop, an exciting community-oriented startup in Ohio City, jointly owned and operated by Alex Nosse, who was Sylvia's boyfriend, and his friend Renato Pereira-Castillo. The concept for the shop was born in the winter of 2010 and only six months later they're open for business. These guys are amazing! Beside repairing bicycles and selling new ones, Alex and Renato are interested in doing outreach and education in low-income communities. See their website at http://www.joymachinesbikeshop.comHere are pictures taken at their store on opening day:
