"King Kog bike shop owner and drummer Gina Marie Scardino gives a unique
tour of her legendary shop and takes the family on velodrome afternoon.
Gina
Marie Scardino has managed to turn her bike shop King Kog in Brooklyn
into a phenomenon. It is reputed to be the Aladdin's Cave of bike shops,
and the truth is even better than fiction. King Kog is famous for
selling everything a dedicated fixed gear and vintage bicycle enthusiast
may ever need or want, from apparel to custom made bikes.
Fixed
gear bikes have existed since the late 1800's, but in recent years the
interest in them and the surrounding culture has boomed. The rumour has
it that Gina Marie and her shop has somehow predated the current
fixie-fad and will most certainly outlive it as well. When Gina is not
running the shop, she is busy creating art or making music. Drums are
her specialty, and she is currently drumming in the punk band Guts for
Garters."
