Supporting the theory that most people just use their bikes as coat racks, fancy commuter bicycle company Public Bikes is moving into Harrington Galleries on Valencia.
According to Mr. Eric Sir (who snapped this photo and broke the news of this nascent challenge to Mission Bicycle's cornering of the clean-cut cyclist market), this is having an impact on the furniture store itself:
To make up for the lack of space, Harrington has opened part of their upstairs space to the public; which makes me wonder if I was supposed to be wandering around up there the other day. That would explain why there’s no prices on anything in that part of the store. Hmm…
Harrington's website claims Public Bikes will be running their “pop-up shop” through the spring and summer, so, uhh, get ready?
