It came as a surprise to find that the Downtube Bicycle Works is now open on Sundays (in the summer). Therefore, if you need a patch kit and an extra water bottle before heading across New York State, you can still leave on Sunday.
But wait! An internet search of nearby bicycle shops reveals that Mad Dog Bicycles and Steiner’s Sports have joined the Downtube in the battle for Sunday dollars. Here’s the lineup (as of 7/16/13):
