Owner Michael Johnson serves up a European style pro bike shop born from a true ( and ongoing ) passion for the sport.

Every aspect of the bike business has its place, even mailorder and ebay, but I challenge you to find more experience and personal service only a local bike can provide. Keep on riding, the best way I know to escape today's turbulent times ( mixed in with some Yoga ). Thank you for your continued support.

Maybe we didn't break any speed records but let me tell you there was always this connection. After being introduced by a co-worker, Michael and I began to devise various approaches. And over the course of a visit to his workshop and several subsequent conversations on the phone Michael and I shared suggestions and bounced ideas against each other, ranging from colors to design to simply commenting on the enjoyment of riding down a scenic road. It was quite a journey. What I really appreciate is that Michael has the integrity to consider a suggestion versus simply promoting his own views. He listens. Moreover, there is a real empathy and decency that people such as myself crave. You will as well. Over the course of several months ideas and thoughts began to percolate and the final de
