The Spindle

Spindle is unique in Atlanta in that it offers the best of San Fran/​NYC daily apparel for bike commuters. It’s got a great vibe, a cross between a Chelsea arthouse and San Fran coffeeshop with cool folks. But best of all, it has the apparel that you seek.
Located right off of the Path — the pre-​Beltline bike trail — Spindle has an excellent array of urban bike gear. I bought, at their suggestion, a great pair of DZR shoes that have turned around my commuter and added a bit of fashion when I ride. They have pants, commuter bags, shirts, etc. all tested for the daily commute, or folks who ride.
But the part that probably sets Spindle apart are the folks inside. Knowledgeable without being judging. Hip without being too cool. Great place to go for your bike gear that you don’t have to change from when you go to work. (Looking like a cyclist really hasn’t caught on.) These clothes will help you look like a normal human, yet have the same performance as the fancy kits the Tour guys were. Stop in.

I live in NYC and this store reminds me of a bike store that you would see here. The apparel is for hardcore bikers, built to last. The owner is super friendly. Def worth a stop if you on the market for some biking shorts or messenger bag. Easy parking right off John Wesley Dobbs

You know the kind of place where you want to go there just to hang out, even though it’s not a bar or a coffee house? Yes, that’s what you feel like when you go there. If you’re into bikes and biking at all, this is the place to go for your gear.
Sharif and his brother Ezz have really put thought into merchandising a great selection of products from a diverse group of top brands. Much of the clothing can double as workwear, and there’s even a bag that can fit a whole business suit, in case you need to bike to a TED conference and give a talk.
There’s always people just hanging out at the store, and the atmosphere is really laid back. I got a set of bike themed coasters that looked really neat. They’re concrete. Now that’s a solid buy.
