I was in my old neighborhood, Bay Ridge, when I noticed some standout signs along 3rd and 5th Avenues. This one for a bike shop on 5th Avenue and 73rd Street is probably the most unusual one in the neighborhood, where sign standards usually consist of Helvetica on vinyl awnings.

Great sign but I also like the “artwork” on the front of the store; the blue water trickling down and becoming part of the sidewalk. And… those bicycle tires (orange and yellow)… is that bike real?
cool! love the tire colors!
Jazzy! Is there a name for that font, or some font close to it?
The font is called Jokerman.
The way it is written almost reminds me of Two Boots, which has many locations over in Manhattan, and is now available at Mets games over at Citifield.
