Say goodbye to Acme Bicycle Company

I’ll bet my Specialized that, if you ride a bike in this town, you know the name Sarah Gibson.

In fact, many have probably shared a beer in a bike-strewn parking lot — before Critical Mass, after Tour de Cowtown — with the gravely voiced, gray-haired, bad-ass co-owner of equally bad-ass Acme Bicycle Company in the Crossroads District.

Well, get ready to say goodbye.

After nearly a decade running the eclectic bike shop that doubled as a hub of activism and partying, Gibson is closing shop and leaving Kansas City.
