Local Velo began as Again Bikes in May of 2023 following my (Eric) departure from a position at one of the top bike brands in the world. I had worked in bike shops for well over a decade, and in the bike industry for approaching 20 years. I wanted to get back to my passion for fixing, selling, and talking all things bike. I didn't want to have a big shop with hundreds of bikes. Rather, I wanted a small shop where I could provide a world-class experience to cycling enthusiasts. I saw an opportunity in the local market for a premier-level service shop. As for the name, I wanted a name that spoke to the second life of a bike. From repairs, to upgrades, to quality pre-owned bikes, it's #newbikedayAGAIN. In January of 2024, we rebranded our retail store as Local Velo. In Local Velo, I wanted a name that spoke to my commitment to the local cycling community while also celebrating the heritage of the sport. I have been part of the local cycling community for almost 4 decades, and it's been one of the most cherished experiences I've had, and continue to enjoy. Again Bikes remains our online store for quality pre-owned product, and is the licensed name of the company, while Local Velo is our dba (doing business as) name for our retail store. Welcome!

I'm frequently asked about where to ride around the area. The list of places I like to ride would be too much to list, but here's a link to my Strava profile so that you can see where I'm riding.
