A popular Livermore bicycle shop is closing its doors for good on Saturday.

The owner of AJ's Family Cyclery says between the economic downturn and tariffs on goods produced overseas, he just can't keep the shop open.

"This is where I spent 75-80 percent of my time every day, just turning bikes over every day," said AJ Wright, looking around the now-empty shop.
