left, but 30% off..

Winding it down
July 1, 2025
We are currently well into our 42nd bike season as the fifth
owners of this little bike shop and, to no one's surprise,
it's time to wind it down. We recall the words of another
longtime Brattleboro business owner who said, "my body
keeps telling me I have to stop."
It's not so easy to just stop a business that has been your
sole livelihood for an entire lifetime, especially when you
have been entrusted with a shop that generations of previous
owners have kept going for 85 years. Our energy took a big
hit when the basement flooded in 2019, followed closely by
COVID-19 upheaval. Tariffs are forcing a significant restructuring
of the US bike shop industry and we are not the management
team to see this through.
2025 will be the last bicycle season for Tim and Barb
at Brattleboro Bicycle Shop. We will stop taking in new
repair jobs after July and have put sale prices on our remaining
inventory of Gazelle and Fuji bicycles until they are gone
(See the BIKE SALE link). We will be placing orders for parts
and accessories through that time. After that we'll be around
trying to clean out and clean up six decades of bicycle experience
for as long as that takes.
A big THANK YOU to all our good, Brattleboro Bicycle Shop
customers!

Bike maps from Windham Regional Commission
You can go
to our regional planning commission's web site and download
some very special maps—bicycle suitability maps, to be
exact. These are maps showing hills, shoulders, traffic volumes,
and road surfaces as they matter to cyclists.

New traffic
patterns downtown
- Please note that the sidewalk in front of our store has
been widened to improve the pedestrian environment in this
busy intersection. There is no longer parking directly in
front of our Paramount building. There is a loading zone
just past us (in front of A Candle In The Night) where you
can stop to load and unload your bikes. There is no sign
for this, but the parking enforcement people have assured
us they will not ticket a car with flashers on stopping
to load or unload. DO NOT BLOCK THE DRIVEWAY!
- Long term parking for our end of Main Street is either
the High-Grove lot, 1/2 block up High St. from us, or at
the parking garage on Elliot St.

Southern
Vermont's oldest continuously operating bike business
Brattleboro
Bicycle Shop is a year-round, professional sales and service
store right in the middle of Vermont's coolest downtown. We
sell and service most types of bikes and support bikes as
transportation in southern Vermont.
Our mission
is to provide the highest level of person-to-person service
for anyone who loves to ride bikes, especially those who prefer
them to cars. We depend on cars, too, but Brattleboro Bicycle
Shop believes the world will be a better place if the pendulum
swings away from cars and back towards people.
