Bike Messenger Hot Spots
Chrome Store Gear
238 Mulberry St, New York, NY 10012
"Since their opening, they've been a great addition to NY messenger life, hosting events and parties plus discounts for us has made them a true hot spot."
– Greg, bike messenger from Quik Trak
"I love (their) messenger bags and gear!"
– Jenessa, bike messenger from Breakaway
"Chrome is not exclusively for bike messengers, but the way they cater to our needs, it really feels that way. We get the best discount in the city and they even have a bike rack inside the store. I tried hard to resist Chrome but they won me over in the first 5 minutes inside the store. Commuters and other civilians, fear not, they are friendly to everybody and they have a lot of great gear that would be perfect for you too."
