Three generations on Broad Street
Founder Larry Nobel learned the trade at his father's bike shop in Brooklyn in the late 1930s, opening the store after school while his father worked a second job. In 1954, with a loan from his father-in-law, he opened Brookdale Cycle and Hobby Shop. The shop is now in its third generation of family ownership.
Brookdale sells new and used bikes for adults and kids, fitness bikes, parts, safety gear and accessories. Custom bikes are a specialty, and the staff adjusts each bike to fit the rider.
