This Week’s Top Story
Heritage Bikes and Coffee (heritagebikes.com) — a popular spot for, well, bikes and coffee — has opened a new outpost in the West Loop. At 172 North Racine Street, the new shop offers locally made, custom bikes. Bikes and cycling products are displayed artfully on a dark grey peg board, and you can grab a caffeine boost while you peruse all the products.
At the in-house coffee bar, drinks include lattes, espressos, and cappuccinos; there are also snacks including a Vegan Crunch Wrap and avocado toast. The shop also offers full-service bike repairs.
