题目内容:
When the fork was stolen off Bart Michiels’s mountain bike last summer, he wheeled it nearly three miles from his home in Chelsea to Frank’s Bike Shop on the eastern end of Grand Street.
Mr. Michiels passed many other bike shops along the way, including one that offers free coffee. But for 20 years, he has remained devoted(忠实的) to Frank’s. “Frank’s the man,” he said of Frank Arroyo, the owner. “I don’t care where he is in the city --- I’ll go.”
Mr. Michiels doesn’t have to worry about Mr. Arroyo’s relocating(搬迁). The shop has stayed on the Lower East Side of Manhattan for 40 years.
After Mr. Michiels left, Marvin Priess arrived. A professor of chemistry and math, Mr. Priess wheeled in the Ross 18-speed he had bought at Frank’s in 1978 and still rides today, at age 68. Mr. Priess said that over the years, every single part of it that couldn’t be repaired had been replaced, sometimes more than once, at Frank’s. Customers don’t come for the ambience(环境). It’s crowded and dirty; buckets of parts and boxes of training wheels line the entryway.
The store is filled with about 500 bikes and you will find Mr. Arroyo, 72, six days a week. He has been in the bike business since age 14. Born and raised on the Lower East Side, he has employed and taught many young people in the neighborhood. He is also willing to repair bikes in any condition, as well as his neighbors’ walkers and wheelchairs.
English Epps, a lawyer, needed a new seat; his had been stolen. “I’ve been coming here since I was in the third grade,” he said, adding: “There’s a new bike shop on Delancey Street, but everybody comes here.”
