  • Self Identified Competition

    Online e-bike retailers Local bicycle shops - Freeze Thaw Cycles, The Bicycle Shop. Online e-bike retailers are popular but lack the interpersonal aspect of sales and service and do not support the cycling community. Keeping funds local helps improve the local economy and drive a level of belonging needed to improve tourism and healthy habits. Other local bike shops have not positioned themselves for the greater good. Our business was established with a dual purpose: to provide top-quality bicycles, accessories, and services to cycling enthusiasts, while also contributing to the overall vitality of our community. Our business operates as a hub for cyclists of all levels, offering expert advice, repair services, and a wide range of cycling products to cater to diverse needs. What sets Two Brothers Bicycle Company apart is our unwavering dedication to community wellness and growth. We actively collaborate with local businesses to create symbiotic relationships that benefit both our customers and the local economy.

Furthermore, we prioritize community engagement through initiatives such as group rides, cycling workshops, and charity events. These activities not only promote physical well-being but also encourage social interaction and a sense of belonging among residents. Our partnership with local schools, community centers, and charitable organizations demonstrates our commitment to fostering community cohesion and inclusivity.
