History
Established in 2009.
Revolution began in a tiny store front 2 doors from our current location in April '09. The local community's support was tremendous. We quickly expanded, taking over the larger retail space next door and occupying 2 store fronts. With the introduction of TREK to our product lineup in 2012, it was time to grow again.
We acquired the 2 story building next door, converted the residential building to retail and completely renovated the property. This brought continuity to the Main St. commercial district, cleaned up the appearance of the block and allowed us to create our dream bike shop. With heart-felt thanks to our loyal customers, we opened doors in our new location Labor Day weekend, 2013.
In our new custom-designed space we are able to show off the Best of the Best of the products we carry. Test-rides are a breeze as customers can roll out the back door and ride the gravel parking area and onto our scenic roads. A warm, friendly shop, Revolution is a home for cyclists of all sorts.
Meet the Business Owner: Steve L.
Steve is a dyed in the wool cyclist, and even though he's NYC born and bred, he found ways to get out of Queens and Manhattan to go mountain biking every weekend. During the week, he took his road bike to Central Park or over the GW bridge and daily, rode his commuter to work at bike shops in Manhattan where he'd been working in various roles since the early 90s (in later years with our dog, Stella trotting along beside him). When he got home from work, he'd tune up his various bikes, read the latest on MTBR and dream up his next project, then plan the weekend's MTB trip. The backbone of Revolution, he is friendly and personable and always willing to share his encyclopedic knowledge all things bike related. A seasoned veteran mechanic, Steve's background includes not only early mountain bikes, but a generous helping of "old-school" techniques. He is always pushing the envelope with the latest tech (built a disc-brake road bike in 2006) and can take on advanced projects.
