16th and Pine Lake. That's where the new store location will be for Bike Pedalers according to the article in this morning's Lincoln Journal Star. It's not very far from the Scheels bike store or the Bike Rack location in south Lincoln. If you look at where all the bike stores are in Lincoln, they are either downtown or in south Lincoln, all west of 33rd St. The only exception is the Used Bike Shop near 66th and Holdrege (#1 on the map), and they don't carry the big name brands such as Trek, Giant, Specialized and Bianchi. Try this some time: enter the words "Lincoln Nebraska bicycle stores" into a Google search and look at the map it produces. You will need to ignore the false hits on motorcycle and recycling stores. I really don't wish any bad luck on them, as they have had enough of that in the past year, but I really wish that they would reconsider their store location. How about placing a bike store in East Lincoln! How about near the new Hy-Vee at 84th and Holdrege?
