Description
From bikes to beer
At Pastel Cycles, two-wheelers rule! More than just bike shops, these third places bring together seasoned cyclists and leisurely explorers in a pleasant atmosphere of goodwill. Here, bikes are sold, rented, repaired and pampered. That’s right, their cycling passion is all about sharing. As proof, Pastel Cycles is an Accueil Vélo-approved specialist which means their clients receive the ultimate bike-friendly welcome.
Along the lines of the hybrid cafés in London, the creators of Pastel Cycles intended their outlets as social spaces where togetherness reigns. Indeed, besides the workshop and the bike shop, there’s also a café where you can enjoy a drink while your bicycle is left in good hands. But you can also without your bike, just for the pleasure of chatting over a pint about cycling and gravel trails. You’re bound to get talking to someone at your table who shares your love of bikes and beer.
