Saturdays are busy at Reser Bicycle in Newport. At any given time, there are two bikes up on the rack in for repairs. Customers trickle in and out, looking for gear or a new bike.
In fact, since the pandemic, more and more people are coming in for the latter, employee Gabe Robinson says. I can t put a number on it, but I would say on a typical Saturday that s the majority of people coming in, they re thinking, I want to get back on a bike; or get a new bike or upgrade from this old mid-90s bike, that s the vast majority of people coming in on a Saturday, says Robinson.
