Shanghai permanent Bicycle Cafe: a little nostalgic and environmentally friendly

A chandelier made of tires, a single bell made of bells, and decorations made of seats and handlebars hanging on the wall. The beige log-toned "permanent" store shows the "nostalgic + environmentally friendly" characteristics of this bicycle-themed cafe.

This permanent bicycle cafe, located on Orchid Road in Shanghai, is not only a cycling theme cafe, but also a permanent theme store for bicycle brands. Some new products in recent years, such as "bamboo horse" bicycles and two-wheeled bicycles made of bamboo and wood, can be found here. Chen Shun, owner of the cafe and chairman of Shanghai permanent Bicycle Co., Ltd., said that because it is close to Century Park, the cycling atmosphere is very good. This road has gathered many first-line bicycle brands at home and abroad to settle in, becoming a gathering place for cyclists.

"when we came to see it at that time, we thought that the atmosphere here was particularly suitable for cyclists, but if we opened another car shop, it would be very uncontrastive and without much characteristics, so we thought of making a cafe." Chen revealed that it took about 8 months before and after the store was decorated, and many ideas suddenly came to mind, such as making a single bell with a car bell.

Bicycle is one of the necessities of Chinese families in the 1980s. In recent years, with the popularity of cars in China, bicycles have gradually faded out of people's sight, but they have not been forgotten. Nowadays, bicycles are more representative of a healthy and environmentally friendly way of life. Chen believes that the cafe can provide a platform for cyclists to communicate and share, hoping that more people will join the cyclists. Therefore, in his cafe, customers who come to the store by bike can get a 50% discount, whether they buy coffee cake or bicycle.

After ten o'clock, Mr. Jia, the exhibitor who was exhibiting at the nearby Shanghai New International Expo Center, came to the store and drank coffee. He held up his mobile phone and took a lot of photos. He told reporters that he likes this simple decoration style very much, and it feels like coming to a "bicycle 4S shop".

The clerk said that in order to fit the nostalgic style, enamel coffee cups are specially made, and guests have to discover more surprising details.
