I was talking to the new owner of Alberta Cycle and he is working on opening a new scooter shop across from downtown Grant MacEwan Campus. It will be called District Moto and will sell scooters, electric bikes and will be a food and coffee place as well. He says it will be unlike most scooter shops.
He hopes to open in about 2 weeks. He would like to open the store for us around Sunday July 14th for our regular Sunday meeting if that works for people. He may not have Sunday hours right away but would open up for us special that day. Date is a bit TBD depending if construction keeps on schedule.
The shop is on the corner of 107 St and 104 Ave. Across the street to the east of Happy Harbour Comics and it faces the main doors of Grant MacEwan and their clock tower.
Also, every Thursday from 5-8pm Alberta Cycle does a bike meet-up with a BBQ, demo rides, and an organized ride somewhere. Monica and I went tonight but missed the ride. They had a Vespa GTS 300 out to demo ride. We will probably be back again next Thursday.
New Scooter Shop coming soon to downtown Edmonton

From Richard, the owner of AB Cycle and the new scooter shop.
"Also, I was thinking about doing a sneak preview night if you guy would be interested,
Maybe the evening of July 12th? We could meet at Alberta Cycle for bike night and ride to the new store? Let me know if you think there would be some interest"

So I went to AB Cycle Bike Night last night and even went on the group ride testing out their GTS 300.
Richard says that the official opening of the shop is going to be July 18th. It is mostly set-up right now but he is finalizing his food items and local coffee source. He says there are about 8-9 Vespa's in there right now and some accessories.
He is still on for giving us a preview of the shop next Thursday, July 12th. Meet at AB Cycle for the free BBQ at 6pm. We will ride as a group to the new shop. Not sure exactly what time we will leave or arrive at the new shop though. The group ride leaves around 7pm so likely it would be shortly after that when we leave.
He would also like to host us for our July 15th meeting. just let me know what time you want to meet there and I will pass that on to him.
