Here's a way to cut two costs in one fell swoop: pedal a bicycle. On one hand, avoid escalating gas prices, which will only find new roofs to go through. On the other, avoid the cost of gym memberships, which are only for those uncreative type who fail to see the the free fitness potential out-of-doors.
Fortunately for those who appreciate the multiple benefits of thrifty, healthy modes of transportation, Ada Bike Shop has opened a new location in the "bike shop desert" of East Grand Rapids. Ada Bike Shop owner Jim Ippel purchased the Fulton Heights Mower Sales and its 2,000-sq. ft. retail space back in November. Because this new store of his is located at 1311 Fulton Street, next to the popular Schnitz Deli, and in the constantly revised Fulton Heights area, Ippel is looking forward to a more diverse patronage which includes young families, college folk, teens, and other urbanites.
New services at 1311 Fulton will include bicycle, scooter, and bicycle-accessories retail as well as bicycle repair. In addition, Ippel has kept Steve Vos, former owner of the mower shop, on staff as his small engine expert. Together they'll continue to sell lawnmowers and snowblowers and the Kymco-brand of scooters.
