Outside Mag Calls Mill Valley's Above Category One of the '10 Best Bike Shops in America'
Publication hails the Millwood St. store's no-frills focus on high-end road bikes and accoutrements, noting its reputation as one of the best and most upmarket shops in the country.
With Tam Bikes, Studio Velo and Above Category all within a one-mile radius, Mill Valley is swimming in great bikes shops, especially for such a small town.
Longtime customers of the latter are accustomed to hearing the plaudits of Chad Nordwall and his crew at Above Category, but the latest honor puts the shop in rare air.
Outside magazine included Above Category on its list of the "10 Best Bike Shops in America," hailing the store's no-frills focus on high-end road bikes and accoutrements, and noting its reputation as one of the best and most upmarket shops in the country.
"On offer are only magnificent bikes—think: Baum, Moots, Parlee, Pegoretti, Pinarello—and Above Category provides fitting services as exacting as the rides," the mag notes in its writeup. "The shop employs pro-level mechanics, and out the door, on the wending, verdant asphalt of Marin and Napa, is some of the finest road riding in America."
