The Wings

















There's a lot of things to love about 'The Wings' Bike Shop, best of all how it's not called 'Wings Bike Shop', which would make sense, but 'The Wings', as if it was a Noughties rock band (The Killers, The Rapture etc.). A great commentary from Mr. Waffles & Steel below:

  1. Actually, it's called "The Wing's" with a possessive apostrophe, like the shop belonged to an aircraft component?

    Thanks for the link to the funny commentary.

  4. i disagree with you guys... it's called wings because the owner Mr. Awyeung is a Campagnolo fanatic... and as you know the early logo of Campagnolo shows a bike skewer with wings. Mr. Awyeung told me that himself.
