Sad, but not surprised. We’ve been broken into so many times, and it just keeps getting worse. This morning, I got a call about another break-in—someone smashed our window and took a couple bikes. It’s sad, but not surprising because so many of my small business friends in Chicago have been through the same thing. We need change. Someone in Chicago needs to step up. Small businesses are struggling with rising taxes, food costs, and labor expenses. We keep seeing our taxes go up, but where does that money really go? There’s barely anything left to squeeze. But it’s okay; we’ll get the window fixed and we’ll get through today. I’ll keep opening every morning, doing my best for my community and family. In the meantime, please support your local mom-and-pop shops. This kind of thing happens way too often in Chicago, and your support means everything to us.
Heritage Bicycles General Store
Chicago police received a call about the break-in at 2959 North Lincoln around 6:24 a.m May 31, 2024 … The burglar smashed a front window. Management said a couple of bikes were taken from inside.
“We love you, Chicago, but something has to change,” the store’s 2021 post said. Management spoke out on Facebook after burglars broke into the store in December 2021.
