Top of the Town 2012

In a city where bike shops range from elite, top-of-the-line specialty stores to made-over garages filled with random old parts, Campus Cycles rides the middle. Bicycles meant to meet every Denverite’s pedaling pleasure line the walls. And, if you can’t part with an old steed that doesn’t ride right, the shop is home to a certified team of “fitters”—some of Denver’s most recommended—who can reconnect you with your two-wheeler. Thank goodness Campus Cycles has a new “off-campus” outpost in Lakewood. 2102 S. Washington St., 303-698-2811; 7310 W. Colfax Ave., Lakewood, 303-237-1115; campuscycles.com
