Green Machine Cycles, Chicago's premier cargo bike shop, is getting a face lift and wants your suggestions

Green Machine Cycles, Chicago's sustainability-focused cargo bike shop at 1634 Montrose, is renovating its space over the next few weeks and wants your suggestions on products, services, and amenities. What do you want to see at cargo bike central? Child carrying options? Handmade cycling goods? Women's workshops and gear? Cargo bike loading and riding lessons?

After a really productive and positive first few months of operations, the shop is scheduled to finish renovation by the last week of January, just in time for you to pick out your cargo cycling supplies for the warm weather. We are adding a bike wash big enough for cargo bikes, in addition to our full-service repair shop staffed by mechanics with decades of experience in repair, bike fit, and urban cycling. We already provide an inclusive, non-judgmental attitude, welcoming cyclists and non-cyclists of all backgrounds alike, but perhaps there are aspects of positive shop culture we've overlooked that you really want to see in Chicago.

We have made the commitment to utility cycling and sustainability like no other shop, with the intent to offer life-cycle assessments of all the products and services we sell, as well as the city's widest selection of cargo bikes. It's time to fully realize the great potential Chicago's flat topography offers to cargo cycling. 

Here's your chance to weigh in. Go!

I actually prefer a judgmental bike shop; standards must be maintained.

How about couches and a cocktail lounge? I am kind of serious. 

If I could navigate the license I probably would in the basement.
