Bike n Bean is a small business that combines sport and hospitality, born from the passion that co-founder, Paul Davis, has for cycling in north-east Melbourne. 'We wanted an edge, something else to encourage people to come by and look at the bikes and accessories or have their bikes serviced, so we hit upon the idea of combining the bike shop with a coffee bar to allow passing cyclists to re-fuel after their rides, relax and talk about cycling issues.
Paul is joined by his wife Nicola, along with mature knowledgeable staff, ready to provide advice and assistance in helping you choose the best bike for your requirements, especially if you race bikes. Call them on 9437 8501 or visit them at http://bikenbean.com.au/webstore/
