Reliable bike shop was Legendary in Detroit post WW2 . huge Schwinn dealer

Village cyclery became the MGM group of bike stores (11 total) and undercut EVERYONE -including me- and later went thru a
massive bankruptcy screwing all his partners .

Nice post as I always enjoy anecdotes about the actual stores - thanks!
 
The sticker on a Ross Compact of about 1980 is from Sam's in Elmwood Park, NJ. Sam's is still there. This stretch of New Jersey State Highway 4 is also called Broadway. Info from the website is shown below. Before 1973, Elmwood Park was East Paterson (note the matching initials), but the inhabitants did not want to be associated with Paterson any longer, so they changed the name of the town. I live about 10 miles from Sam's, but have never visited. One day I should stop in.
