Ted’s Bicycles is the oldest independently owned bike shop in Colorado Springs, opening for business in September of 1971. The shop was started by Ted and Ruth Wilber of Colorado Springs. In 1976, at age 18, Tony Hoewisch moved from Wisconsin and joined the team at Ted’s. In 1986, Tony and his wife Joetta, bought Ted’s Bicycles. Tony often gets called Ted, which he doesn’t mind at all. Ted’s Bicycles still operates with the same family-friendly atmosphere and philosophy of dependable service forged by Ted and Ruth in 1971. Customers are like family.
