Dirty River Bicycle Works

Dirty River Bicycle Works came about because I have always deeply loved bicycles and bike shops. I have been a mechanic and salesperson for 17 years. I have even served as the Stow Eddy's service manager and effectively the corporate service manager also. I worked with the best mechanics around and count myself as one of them. It was a difficult and fulfilling job, but it wasn't a cultural fit for me. I tried some other opportunities to use my education and skills, but I kept going back to my true passion, bikes. I have studied bicycles, repair, maintenance, efficient operations, and performance research with undying effort ever since I got into working on bikes in 1999. I see a big void in Downtown Akron. The best bike trail in Ohio passes right through it and the number of bike lanes and cycle paths are increasing daily. Akron is the gateway to endless outdoor exploration starting with the Towpath and continuing into all the Metroparks and the National Park. I am so excited to provide a truly exceptional service experience that is sincere, helpful, personal and fun. People will immediately notice what a difference getting Dirty makes.
