ReCycles Bikes Started In A Garage In 2013
The Journey Begins
Humble beginning in a garage in Frederick circa 2013
What started as a hobby grew into Frederick’s only Pre-Loved bicycle shop. Matt's been repairing and riding bikes for 20 years. A passion for cycling and desire to bring new people into the sport evolved into a new kind of bicycle shop, with a philosophy that bikes are meant to be used.
In working at other shops, Matt couldn’t help but notice the number of new customers intimidated by sticker shock. Entry-level bikes are expensive enough to deter many would-be cyclists. At the same time, quality used bikes are in plentiful supply but require expertise, love, and care to operate smoothly again. Many of these bikes lay dormant in sheds and garages, waiting to see the light of day again.
Purchasing a bike secondhand is typically limited to Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. These platforms can be tricky and often frustrating to navigate without expertise in what to look for.
ReCycles Bikes brings a solution to this problem. As a refurbished bicycle dealer that focuses on quality, we balance recycling with buyer confidence. We won’t take in just any bike, we stick to quality brands and components so that we can stand behind our sales. Experience the pre-loved price with the confidence of buying new.
The more people out riding bikes, the better off society is. Not only do these two wheeled machines promote numerous health benefits, they also have the ability to inspire lifelong confidence in the rider. Few things compare to the feeling of covering vast distances under your own power.
So whether you are an experienced rider or brand new to the scene, stop in and say hello!
