A stunning collection of sleek bikes, along with some stylish clothes and downright delicious coffee, lends the Angry Catfish the sort of vibe we want in a bike shop. Throw in a staff that's laid-back, helpful and deeply knowledgeable about their two-wheeled steeds, and you've got a clear winner. A literary night with bicyclist-writers sharing their essays? Check. An electric fireplace to take the chill off the front patio? Check. If you've bought a bike from ACF, they've been known to invite you to a St. Paul brewery for free beer, food, music and professional photos of your ride. Now that's customer appreciation! 4208 28th Av. S., Mpls., angrycatfishbicycle.com
