Heritage Bikes & Coffee Coffee shop
The environment and our community are important to us. There is an obvious reduction of carbon emissions when we choose to bike instead of drive, but we are further decreasing our carbon footprint by keeping our bike manufacturing here at home. Our eco-friendly bikes are built with American steel, welded and assembled locally. Chicago hasn't seen a production run of locally fabricated bike since the '70s, when Schwinn left. We're here changing that.
