Armando Guerrero had Dallas code compliance staffers scratching their heads when he applied for a permit to open Bicycle Café, a health-food restaurant that also has lockers, a changing room and bike storage.
“The city couldn’t understand. They said, ‘You want bicycles inside a restaurant?’” Guerrero, a tri-athlete himself, opened the café in February, serving healthy salads, tacos, breakfast and Cuvee coffee.
“This is what I would like to see in a café,” he says. “It’s healthy because of the grains we use. It’s light but gives you lots of energy. No one wants to eat a big steak before going for a ride.”

Popular dishes include the quinoa bowl, which comes with a choice of meat, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, peppers and pineapple with citrus vinaigrette.
“The good thing about our salads is that we make the dressings from scratch,” manager Job Martinez says. Plus, almost everything on the menu can be vegan-friendly.
