My love of riding the trails is a childhood first love.
I used to jump on my battered bike and head off to parts unknown in Posey County, Indiana….letting the pedals eat up the country road miles. I would sometimes take a sandwhich along…or my sister and we would have a sisterly picnic somewhere out by the woods or cornfields…ah I digress but good memories.
Will be checking out this bike shop soon:
Big Shark Bicycle Company was founded in 1993. Located in the popular St. Louis Loop, Big Shark Bicycle Company was established with a simple goal in mind: provide great products, fantastic service, and a refreshing place to pursue all the different facets of cycling. All of the staff at Big Shark Bicycle Company pursue cycling in one way or another, and although they love the glamour of high-end bikes and the newest gadgetry, They are as excited to get children on their first bike, get people off of the couch or internet (sorry), and out pounding the pavement or trail. Over the past five years the St. Louis Riverfront Times readers poll has voted Big Shark Bicycle Company the best place to buy a bike in St. Louis. The shop was also voted “Best Bike Shop” by Digitalcity.com.
