About Us
Your Local Bike Shop
Swanny’s Cycles was built on a simple belief: a great bike shop should be rooted in trust, craftsmanship, and genuine care for the rider.
We’re a rider-owned shop focused on quality over quantity — from the bikes we choose to carry to the service we provide in the stand. Every recommendation is made with intention, and every bike is treated as if it were our own.
We believe customer service means listening first, being honest, and taking the time to do things right. Whether you’re chasing performance, exploring new roads, or just getting back on the bike, our goal is to help you enjoy the ride with confidence.
At the end of the day, we’re here for the long haul. To build relationships, support our cycling community, and be the shop you trust mile after mile.
