What Makes The Country Bike Shop So Different?

First: We carry fully lugged, lightweight steel, bikes by Rivendell Bicycle Works. No other bike shop this side of Rivendell's California location has as many Rivendell's on the floor and ready for test rides as we do.

Second: We offer a different "feel" toward cycling compared to the shops we've visited, where racing generally seems to be the dominant theme. We've often aback by the "lightweight and speed are all that matter" feel that most shops to seem to have.

We don't like riding bikes that carry excess weight and we often enjoy good fast rides. But the insanely lightweight frames with low spokes and wheels and tiny seatpacks with room for a cell phone and a walnut?. Riding is so much more fun than that. We like fitness and fun.

Our customers say our shop has a more pleasant "tone" and perhaps it's because we showcase great bikes that can be not just Quick, but Comfortable and versatile too.

Third: The process we go through with customers to help make sure they get the right bike with the right fit is exceptional. It's nearly a "custom bike" process.

Lastly: We're located - sort of - in the boonies. You have to come a ways to get to us. But our customers say our shop is worth the drive. We're a nice 2 - 4 hour drive from almost anywhere in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Plus, we have fitted Rivendell's to customers from CT, GA, IL, KY, MA, MO, NY, PA, TN, TX, VA and Canada.

Move away from racing's influence and we thing you'll find a smarter side to riding that actually improves your enjoyment of cycling. You really cant' have a lifetime of better riding.
