Sree Uma Sankar Cycle General Stores

Sree Uma Sankar Cycle General Stores is located at number 26 118 on Bowdara Road, right in the Poorna Market area. It’s a traditional kind of shop where we have a bit of everything, but cycles are a big part of what we do. The store is usually a bit cluttered with spare parts, tires hanging from the ceiling, and different tools scattered on the workbench. It’s not the cleanest place, but we know exactly where everything is located. We spend a lot of our time fixing flat tires or tightening up chains for people who ride their bikes to the market. Poorna Market is always full of people, so there’s a lot of foot traffic passing by our front door every hour. We don't have a computer system for our sales; we just write everything down in a big book at the end of the day. It’s a simple way to run a shop, and it’s worked for us for a long time. People stop in to buy small things like bells or lights, or sometimes they just come by to chat while we work on a repair. The air smells like rubber and grease, which is just part of the job. We open up when the market starts getting busy and we head home once the sun goes down and things quiet down. It’s just a regular local store for regular people in the neighborhood.
