Three Indiana brothers opened a bicycle shop in 1918, and 108 years later, the same family still runs the business.
The family-owned company has remained in service for more than a century while preserving the operating methods that shaped it from the beginning. Several employees spent 40 to 50 years with the business before retiring, giving the shop a highly experienced workforce.
The company has also navigated changes in the bicycle industry without losing its original approach. That continuity has helped it maintain strong loyalty among customers and benefit from the knowledge of employees who have stayed for decades.
