Shopping in Middle Island

The trained and attentive bikesperts at Carl Hart, a family-owned service shop and cycle store, have been vending and revamping velocipedes for nearly 100 years. Welcome back your two-wheeled steed from its winter migration with a basic tune-up administered by a factory-authorized mechanic. Carl Hart trues wheels, closely inspects and adjusts brakes and gears, lubricates the drivetrain, and wipes down the bike’s body to remove grime and grease. Finally, bicycle buffs check tire pressure, pumping them full of carbs to achieve the proper plumpness for smooth cycling.

The Ultimate Dance Zone readies two-steppers of all ages for the spotlight with full lines of dance apparel, accessories, and footwear. Since 2003, the business has aspired to be a one-stop shop for dancers, gymnasts, and cheerleaders alike, offering the latest styles by brands such as Capezio, Eurotard, Nike Cheer, Gia-Mia, and more. If, while navigating the colorful clusters of leotards, tights, and bags, customers are unable to find what they’re looking for, friendly staffers can order it for them. They also provide professional shoe fittings for burgeoning ballerinas who like to ensure their feet don’t need whittling down to a more manageable point before making a purchase.
