Local bike shops Ozone and Windmill now closed (2016)

I remember when Ozone opened.  They made it about 20 years.  Windmill only three.  I don't know why either of them closed.  I'm especially sad about Windmill, since I *loved* having a good bike shop in my neighborhood.

I hope someone else will open a neighborhood shop here (Manor/Cherrywood).  There are lots of students/cyclists in the apartment complexes around here, so there should be plenty of business.  Besides Windmill's old place (if it's available), there's also the old laundromat at the RBM which has been shuttered for about a year.  I hear the owners are just waiting for someone to propose something for it.
