The shops new location is ideal. It's located on the popular Fox River Bike trail that I rode frequently while I still resided in the neighborhood. The trail was snow packed so there was stroll down memory lane.

Main Street
Main Street Bicycles in Carpentersville, Il has moved into this terrific new location. The building was constructed back in 1830 as a grist mill. When originally built they diverted the nearby Fox River under the building to power a hydroelectric generator. In the 1870's they added a state of the art grain elevator in the building. Over the years the owners have kept a good deal of the original components intact. In the photos below you can see the grain hoppers are still hanging form the ceiling.
