Welcome to The Country Bike Shop

We are a specialty bike resource located in Celina, Ohio.Our specialty is the Rivendell bike, catering to recreational riders who want a bike they can ride for fitness, good health and fun; and want a comfortable bike that can take them just about anywhere, with the ease and efficiency of a road bike, but one that’s not limited to smooth, dry roads. It would be nice to have a bike versatile enough to be able to carry stuff too.

It sounds so basic, yet you’d be surprised how hard it is to find that kind of bike at most shops. The reason is because most high end bikes these days are made for racing. Even though bikes designed for racing have disadvantages...the industry and most bike shops, push riders towards what sells – and racing sells. Race bikes sell, even if only a fraction of better bikes are bought by riders who race.

We, in contrast, are a bike shop that sells the kind of bikes for every kind of riding a recreational rider will ever do …. except racing!  Almost all of the bikes we carry are Rivendell’s, and we sell a lot of them, designed by Rivendell’s Grant Petersen who named these practical and beautiful machines country bikes.

For the majority of bicyclists, the non-racers, we honestly believe a Rivendell country bike is the best bicycle value available today and we have the capability to properly fit any size rider. We invite you to delve into our site further if all this sounds intriguing.
