LBI's Shore Brake Cyclery Named One Of Nation's Top Bike Shops

LONG BEACH TOWNSHIP, NJ — A Brant Beach business earned an "America's Best Bike Shop" award. The National Bike Dealers Association gave Shore Brake Cyclery the award earlier this month.

The NBDA’s America’s Best Bike Shops program rewards North American bicycle stores based on shop layout and design, staff and management, training, marketing and community involvement. The highest-performing stores earn the distinction.

“The highest-scoring shops earn the America’s Best designation, but everyone who applies gains insight and learns ways to improve their business," said NBDA President Brandee Lepak.

Shore Brake Cyclery was founded in 2016. The family business serves all cyclists, from casual riders to racing enthusiasts. They carry Trek, Fuji, Tuesday, Felt, Sun, 3G, Surly, All-City, and SE Bikes, while offering a full-service repair department for all makes and models.

“It’s a true honor to be recognized as one of the top local bicycle retailers in the United States,” said owner Charlie Kulp. “We love what we do and take pride in serving our customers well by providing them the best experience each and every time they enter our shop.”

Award applicants must be independent bicycle stores with a physical shop open to the public that sells bicycles, parts, accessories and has a service department. At least half of a store's sales must be related to bicycles and be from a physical store location.
