25 Years & Going Strong

2 minute read.

It's our 25th Anniversary on July 4th and we are just as excited today about our business as the day we started it. Thanks to everyone over the years for all of your tremendous love and support. We truly appreciate and value your business and friendships. We welcome everyone we have yet to meet.

Our Mission from day one has been our strong north star - "to inspire your passion to ride so you enjoy more freedom, fitness and fun in your life"

In 1992 we traded in our corporate world careers to launch our "dream business", Mountain Bike Warehouse. As we grew so did our selection of bikes and we became Bicycle Warehouse. 

Our original store is still getting tons of butts on bikes. The big metal warehouse building (you can probably guess where we got our name from) has become a familiar sight along Interstate 5 in Pacific Beach to nearly everyone in San Diego County.

We've grown a lot with a bunch of stores and other related businesses in our portfolio now. It has allowed us to become one the nations top bicycle retailers. Our prosperity has come from your support and we THANK YOU!

"Do what you love and love what you do" has served us well. We come to work every day excited about getting you on a bicycle and having some fun. We are proud to be a local family owned & operated company.

We look forward to many more fun filled years serving you before we pass the torch on to our team. We created an ESOP (employee stock ownership program) to give back to our fantastic team. Our goal was to have our team act like owners so we are making them owners.

Give us a shout directly if you ever have any feedback for us. We love hearing about the good stuff and the stuff that needs improvement. Hearing from you is the only way we can get better at what we do. 

Along with our awesome crew we look forward to keeping you rolling. "It's Your World, Ride It"

Cheers
