Handlebar Cafe

Baltimore


Owned by X-Games champ Marla Streb, this friendly bike shop and bistro – adorned with mountain bikes and gear-themed decor – serves breakfast, burritos and wood-fired pizzas behind its big garage door. Craft beer, live music and an indoor sprint series too. The vibe is so darn cool even the clumsiest goof in town will be considering a career in trick dirt biking.
