Heritage Bicycles General Store
Count the number of coffee shops (and roasters) and bike shops around the city, and it’s clear Chicagoans love caffeine and cycling. So it’s a no-brainer to combine both under the same roof. Walk into the West Lakeview shop and you’ll see a coffee bar featuring Stumptown java and pastries by Southport Grocery. But beyond treats, there are custom-made bikes (which you can watch being built in the back of the café) and a small selection of cyclist clothing, gear and accessories from Winter Session, a line of bags and aprons hand-sewn by a trio in Andersonville. 2959 N Lincoln Ave (773-245-3005).—Kevin Aeh
