I stopped into Clearwater today to see my old friend Bullet. I have posted about him before and his intense love for the most efficient vehicle ever invented, the bicycle. Bullet's passion for cycling has led him to opening his own shop in Clearwater. Bullet's Hands On Bicycle Shop is located at 1453 Gulf to Bay BLVD. in Clearwater, Florida. The shop is small and he doesnt sell any bikes(the bikes on display are his personal collection), the main focus of the shop is repairs, and what may come as a suprise.. teaching. Bullet hosts open stand time at a minimal charge and allows customers to work on thier own bikes using his tools and some guided instruction.
This area in clearwater is very close to the Pinellas Trail and just outside of downtown Clearwater, a great location for the community, and as Bullet lives less than a block from the shop he walks to the shop every morning. In fact, the old man sold his truck to commit soley to riding and walking, saying that he is commiting himself to the community by saving the environment. Bullet hosts rides on the weekends and is only open on saturday and sunday by appointment. He also closes the store every day at lunch for siesta, about two hours so he can spend time with his girl friend and cats, much like shops in Europe do. With years of experience woprking on bikes and welding, he can perform just about any repair needed, and will help you to learn how to do the same.
