Cafe Hopping In Georgetown, Penang (3): Bike-Themed Wheeler's Coffee Cafe 脚踏车主题 Wheeler's 咖啡馆

One of the newer cafes to hit downtown George Town in Penang, Wheeler's Coffee - this coffee spot has been specially set up for those with two-wheelers in mind. Its cheery-coloured walls are decked out with bicycle-related artwork, and provide a selection of high end bicycles for rent in case you feel like cruising down the streets of George Town in style. Venturing upstairs means finding a spot where you can kick back with a book over breakfast, lunch or dinner, with a nice culpa.

At bicycle cafes, travelers can stop for coffee, grab a bite to eat and get air in their tires or even a tune up, all at the same time. These cafes are proliferating in many countries, enhancing the “in the saddle” experience for everyone from urban riders and hard-core cyclists to weekend warriors and tourists.

槟城大街小巷近期崛起林林总总主题餐厅, 在乔治市爱情巷就出现了以铁马 “脚车” 为主题的餐厅. 在日愈繁忙的小城市里, 诞生了这具有风格及品味的餐厅, 这餐厅名为 Wheeler’s Coffee. 在槟城老街 Love Lane 里头有一间别出心裁的咖啡馆, 店内店外摆设了好多的脚踏车, 当然这里的脚踏车也出租给旅客, 让你轻轻松松地骑上脚踏车随意的乱窜槟城老街, 借脚车游玩古蹟区大街小巷, 发掘老街背后的老故事. 

Wheeler's Coffee 的 Wheeler's, 可以指旋转者; 旋转物, 也可以是推车人, 也可以指任何有轮的东西, 包裹脚踏车. 所以, Wheeler's Coffee, 顾名思义, 就是以脚踏车为主题的咖啡馆. 我远远的, 就看到了餐厅高挂的招牌边上一台与招牌一块高挂的脚踏车, 好不吸金, 就连路过餐厅前的遊客, 都纷纷举起了相机拍照.

咖啡馆店前的户外用餐环境. 餐厅前方也摆放不少的脚踏车, 供出粗用途.

So what makes a coffee shop a bicycle cafe?  Well, I figure it all comes down to a business that loves coffee and bikes and does what they can to combine them together.  Some bicycle cafe’s sell bikes and coffee, while others simply have a bicycle theme. 

餐厅内的装潢和装饰与主题非常之贴切.

I love the simple decor and bicycle concept in the cafe! There are bicycles available for rent too.

Wheeler’s Coffee 环境充满艺术及目睹脚车历史的地方, 周边都是看到关系脚车的设计, 壁划画, 甚至还看到许多脚车及轮胎悬挂在餐厅内, 餐厅有一句金句吸引大家的就是壁划画上短文 “The Bicycle is a simple solution to some of the world’s most complicated problem”.

楼下靠门处的位置, 在这里望出去对着排得密密麻麻的脚踏车, 别有一番风味的.

除了脚踏车, 这里也有好几副的壁画. 墙上这副划画, 大熊骑脚踏车, 看起来滑稽的成份比较多.

看到这副划画的亮点吗？All you need is a Good Day and Coffee!

通道两旁, 都张挂着述说脚踏车故事的画.

另外一个挂在墙上的脚踏车模型.

Live Simply - 我追求的不也是这样吗？

就连黑胶曡和喇叭, 也融入了 “骑脚踏车” 的元素.

最酷的, 莫过于这台悬挂在餐厅后方天井下的这台脚踏车了.

二楼前方的用餐环境. 这是其中一个没有冷空调的用餐环境. 店内摆设了好几种脚踏车为装饰, 每个转角几乎都有个小惊喜.

除了脚车, 就是大大小小的轮胎.

高挂的两台脚踏车. 脚踏车轮胎也是墙壁的装饰之一.

这里还有个完全开放的窗户, 让客人可以一览窗外风景. 有空的话可以到这里来亲自的探索一番.

Are you Cycle lovers? Find out a Great place to hang out with traditional bike-arts in George Town, Penang. Wheeler’s Coffee is situated at famous heritage alley in town. This is place you can meet new friends in a unique relaxing ambiance.

I think it’s safe to say that all bicycle cafe’s are not only meant for people who love bicycles. They are a place where everyone is welcome, and if the customers aren’t bicycle lovers when they walk in. Hopefully they will be by the time they walk out.

因近几年乔治市出现许多脚车跑道, 也崛起许多脚车发烧友在整个槟岛热爱脚车运动, 店长也为了构思脚车为主题, 就积极寻找许多不同年代的脚车, 特别找到英殖民时期的脚车. 店长还强调这个联谊交流的地点, 让槟城人多一个休𫔮的场合. 同时, 餐厅内还设置娱乐让小城市的人可以借此减压纾解.

Wheeler's Coffee 能够诠释为轮子或旋转物, 而这间咖啡馆主要主打的就是脚车咖啡馆, 因为内头设计大部分都是以脚车为主, 无论是悬挂在墙壁的脚车或是模型, 还有的是挂着不同脚车总类的画. 此外, 这家店也是热爱环保概念, 因为店内的部分桌椅是引用循环材料制成, 这也许为何店主会以脚车为主题, 因为脚车就是一种减碳的交通工具, 如果你们也是脚车爱好者, 不妨到这件咖啡馆品嚐, 事后也能够向店主租借脚车, 因为他们也有提供脚车出租服务.
