Best Attitude: B's Bikes When people with the moniker "Bike Snob" are offered book deals in this city, getting a mere acknowledgment when entering a bike shop can leave you wondering what secret biker test you passed to grant you such kindness. That's why the atmosphere at B's Bikes is so refreshing—the employees are bright, helpful, and completely willing to walk you through any problem or question you may have. With a great selection of new, used, and cheap parts, B's stands out as the affable oasis amongst a culture where rudeness is king.B's Bikes, 262 Driggs Avenue between Eckford & Leonard, Greenpoint, (718) 349-1212
