Spokes Bike Shop was opened on August 9, 1986, in the town of Hamburg, PA, as primarily a BMX shop. Spokes moved to Rt. 61 in 1990 where the business continued to grow, bringing in all types and levels of cycling.
In 2004,the business was acquired by the Grecus, who were principals of a well-known local heating and air conditioning company. Wanting to get into a fun and healthy endeavor, they applied their business experience and customer relations skills to further the store as a cycling leader.
Spring 2007 was the year for yet another major progression. The wheels kept turning and the business was acquired by Mike Myers. Mike had spent almost 20 years in the RV business and is proud to have been part of the Fretz RV corporation, specializing in customer satisfaction in sales and service. Spokes has further expanded and now incorporates weekly support rides Mtn and road, sponsors 2 race teams and is involved in bicycle advocacy with Walk Bike Berks organization. Mike energetically quotes, "It comes as a pleasure to build upon a business with a solid foundation and fundamentals like Spokes." Mike has bicycled through the years as a cross-training program for martial arts and motocross competition, and is now spending more time cycling for fun than ever.
"It is a very gratifying experience to offer FUN on your menu and to watch folks take charge of their lives and get fit by bicycling. I'm able to watch the transformation and see the positive fitness and lifestyle improvements that result from cycling, and it makes me smile to be a part of that!"
