I decided to open my own bike shop because I have always loved riding and working on bicycles. Before opening the shop I worked on and sold bikes for 17 years. I studied repair, maintenance, efficient operations, and performance since I started working on bikes in 1999. There is a void in Downtown Akron which I hoped to fill by opening my shop.
The best bike trail in Ohio passes right through it and the number of bike lanes and cycle paths are increasing every day. Akron is the gateway to endless outdoor exploration starting with the Towpath and continuing into the Metroparks and the National Park. I am excited to provide a truly exceptional service experience that is sincere, helpful, personal and fun.

As a highly versatile touring bike, the Bridge Club hits the sweet spot that separates on- and off-road excursions. The simplistic design makes it fully adept to handle a full rack and pannier setup, frame bags, or any combination of the two. It doesn't feel sluggish on paved shortcuts, but can also hold its own on dirt detours.

Lowside is the bike that gets you across town for a quick rip on singletrack, then over to the bar for a night out. Your BMX Bike All Grown Up Lowside is like the grownup version of the bike you rode when you were a kid and still had hopes and dreams and some semblance of ambition. It's just as happy riding singletrack as it is parked outside your favorite drinking establishment.
Commuter/Urban
Report
Straggler is a bikepacking-inspired road/gravel bike mostly at home on pavement but ready for trail duty when called. Born on Gravel. Raised on Pavement Straggler is tuned for cross-over exploration on a wide variety of terrain conditions. It's a day-tripper and a weekender. It's a "rough road" road bike, a cyclocross bike with no pretense about racing, a utilitarian townie, a light-duty touring bike and an all-weather commuter.
