Agarwal Cycle Store

We are right in the heart of Chowk Bazar. It is a very busy part of town and our shop is tucked right into the middle of all the noise. There are cycles hanging from the ceiling and tires stacked up against the walls. It is a bit of a squeeze to get around sometimes, especially when we have a lot of bikes in for repair. We spend most of our time with grease on our hands, fixing chains or patching up old tubes. It is honest work and it keeps us busy from morning until the bazaar closes up at night. We don't have a computer to track things; we just use a big notebook and a pen. The floor is concrete and usually has some oil spots on it. We've been here for a long time and have seen generations of kids get their first bicycles from us. We don't use any fancy sales talk. If a bike works, it works. We tell people what needs fixing and how much it will cost without any extra fuss. The shop gets quite hot in the summer because of all the metal around, but we have a small fan that helps a bit. People stop by just to say hello even if they don't need anything fixed. It's just how things are in the bazaar.
