About This Bike Shop
History
Bike Bros. humble beginning was in Calgary in 2003. Humble meaning a single mechanic/owner operation that focused on bicycle parts and repairs. Graham had been a long time rider and bike mechanic and after 5 years in an Engineering Company, was dying to get back in bike service & retail: Back to what he'd done since the mid '80s - working on and selling bikes.
In 2006 the shop moved from just outside Calgary's downtown core to Cochrane, Alberta. The move gave access to some prestigious brands and allowed for easier access to mountain bike trails and "ride from home" road rides. Since 2006 the shop has expanded or moved 4 times as the business grew.
Bike Bros is now in a beautiful location that was completely gutted to make the ultimate bike shop.
Awards
Over the years, the shop has won/received a few pretty cool accolades. Bike Bros is 10 time recipient of CanadianCyclist.com's Best Bike Shops in Canada Award, 1 time recipient PedalMag Best Canadian Bike Shop award, Highest MTBR.com rating in Canada and a pretty good Google and Facebook rating. This stuff matters to to the staff at Bike Bros. Quite basically, if we aren't trying to thrill our customers with the highest possible level of service, product knowledge and product quality... would we want to do this? probably not.
Staff

Graham is founder of Bike Bros. He started in the bike biz as a teenager in 1985 and hasn't been able to quit this addiction. Riding bikes, wrenching on bikes and travelling to great riding spots are the things he loves... oh, and coffee! Graham is obsessed by trying to be fast, loves catching air and is always trying out new products to see what is hot and what is not. |

Andrea is Mrs. Boss. When Graham and Andrea first met she wasn't into bicycles. In fact this, "owning an expensive bike thing," was totally foreign to her. Here we are, a couple decades later, she's hooked on bikes and is a big part of the vibe in Bike Bros. Being a person who has gone from non-cyclist to serious cyclist, Andrea brings great perspective to bike buying, learning, developing as a rider. |

| Rob is fresh from the UK and brings a background of working for a wheel-building specialty shop as well as a full service bike shop. He is smart, comes from a drop-bar background (now immersed in a shop with more Mountain bikes) and looks after customers and their bikes when they need service or sales help. |  |
| Ty was such a stoked customer and such a pleasure to help over the years that we coerced him to join the team. He assembles bikes and helps the service guys to be more efficient. He'll unfortunately head off to Pilot's school some time but until then he's a pleasure to work with.. |  |
