Ted Kubisek stood in front of the fan to combat the heat during the shop’s last week of being open for business. He spoke to customers and employees in a way that shows he’s known them for years. After 21 years owning and operating Spin Cycle, it was time for a change. By June 19, the warehouse, home to a bike shop, screen printing business and music venue, is set to clear out of the building it has been in for more than a decade. “I’ve done it for so long that I don’t want to do it forever,” said Kubisek, 39. Monster Press Printing, the screen printing business, will continue after the bike store closes. The shop is closing because Santa Fe College is expanding its downtown campus into Spin Cycle’s building on University Avenue.

“It was very successful right away. People would travel from other towns to come to our store. We had a lot of organized rides and a lot of community participation.” Ted Kubisek owner of Spin Cycle

“That has given us, myself, my family a chance, a breaking point that after 21 years seems to make sense,” Kubisek said. Kubisek, a Gainesville native, originally opened the shop on Northwest 13th Street in 1991.

Students with a taste for beer, Pac-Man and live music can now enjoy all three without leaving the comfort of their barstools. Mars Pub and Laser Tag transformed its laser tag arena into an arcade. Eight cabinets feature racing simu- lators, rail shooter and classic arcade games: Frogger, Galaga and Donkey Kong to name a few. Air hockey and billiards tables have been added to the 3,000-square-foot room, too. The games cost anywhere from 25 cents to $1 to play. “We’re trying to keep the more retro games everyone loves,” said Melissa Del Valle, a co-owner of the bar. “Skee-Ball has been the No. 1 game people have been asking for.” The north side of the room is dedicated to live music performances. Six shows are scheduled for July, she said. The renovations stemmed from a lack of demand for laser tag during summer months, when fewer students attend UF. “We figured arcades are reminiscent of summers when you were a kid,” Del Valle said. The bar will add a jukebox to the arcade next week, and three more arcade cabinets will be installed in the near future. The bar’s laser tag equipment will receive maintenance and upgrades during the summer, Del Valle said. She said she wasn’t sure if the bar’s laser tag arena would David Carr / Alligator Staff be redesigned to fit around the arcade cabinets. With the edition of all new games, Mars has added a pool table. The games cost anywhere from 25 cents to $1 Mars “We always intended for the laser tag to come back in Pub is located 239 W University Avenue. fall,” she said, “but the arcade is doing really well.” awards June new releases: Music Americana - Neil Young
