Blue Bicycle Books

Voted “Best Used Book Store” 5 years in a row, Blue Bicycle Books was taken over by a former employee and his wife in 2007, and continues to delight readers on King Street 8 years later. The store opened in 1995 as Boomer’s Books, and has always offered knowledgable staff, a comfortable atmosphere, and a friendly shop cat to pet. Online book sellers don’t have shop cats.

The cherry on the cake is that one of the few on street bike corrals in Charleston, is in front of Blue Bicycle Books!

Life Mission: providing a gateway drug to the bike curious. Change makes this lady happy! Whether it's the beautiful, ever changing four seasons of New England, discovering hidden pockets of cities by bike or the shifting household dynamic that comes with hosting multiple Airbnb guests; Megan thrives off having new experiences, meeting strangers and learning. It is for this reason that she launched Bikabout and combined her love of travel, cities, community, and connecting businesses to guest experiences through the lens of biking. Megan has served on the board of LivableStreets Alliance since 2009, as well as sits on the Cambridge Bike Committee and Boston Bikes Advisory Board. She listens to Seattle's KEXP while working, has a pretty serious girl crush on Janette Sadik-Khan and loves good design. In the Winter, you'll find her cross country skiing, using trains or ferry to get rural in the Fall and Spring and during Summer, it's finding swimming holes, camping spots and outdoor city events. Megan's two adventurers in crime are her tenacious daughter, Annika, and a photographer, beer snob and guitar player of a husband, Kyle.
