BETHESDA SCOOTERS AND BOARDS VOWS TO OPEN AGAIN NEXT SUMMER

Bethesda Scooters and Boards, a pop-up shop that operated over the summer on Norfolk Avenue, is closing its doors.

But maybe not forever.  In a message posted to customers "and their pets" (a dish of dog treats remained out front Monday, evidence of the shop's dog-friendly policy), BSB concluded, "see you next summer."

It's certainly likely there will be another "in-limbo" storefront slated for demolition, but ready to house a pop-up shop for a few months, next summer in Old Town Bethesda.

BSB was a novel shop at the right time, when municipalities like Ocean City, MD are revisiting their skateboard and longboard policies, in light of the current trends of alternative transportation.

BETHESDA SCOOTERS AND BOARDS OPENS ON NORFOLK AVENUE

SKATE OR DIE!

Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive!!!

Adrenaline junkies have a new friend on Norfolk Avenue, across from Veterans Park.  Bethesda Scooters and Boards has opened in the old Lulu Florist space at 7710-A Norfolk Avenue.  What they're selling is just what you'd expect from the name: scooters and skateboards.

Bethesda Scooters and Boards has the potential to become a fixture in the community.

That's because they are selling wheels that are designed for the urban-suburban landscape.

Whether you live to shred on the halfpipe, or want a less expensive motorized vehicle to navigate the clogged streets of downtown Bethesda, Bethesda Scooters and Boards is the place to go.

When I stopped by Tuesday, they had a colorful assortment of scooters lined up outside.  As you can tell from the photo, they're sporty and stylish vehicles.

For the skaters, they have just gotten their first shipment in.  You can see some of it around the store in the photos.

They've got parts and decks for the serious skater to build his or her own board.

Here's a list of what they just got in:
