The idea for the shop stemmed from a longtime goal of having a full service bicycle shop in Durham to help increase the knowledge in the Oyster River community of bicycling in and around the area. Keegan has been working in the bicycle industry since 2004 and has been riding and racing bikes his whole life – including his time as a member of the cycling team at the University of New Hampshire, where he graduated in 2005.
Berton, also no stranger to the area, has been riding bikes his entire life and has been an active member of the Durham community for over 30 years now. The two partners are a dream team when it comes to an amalgamation of the cycling industry and the celebration of communal facing good.
