WHO WE ARE
OUR STORY
We are residents of Sandusky, OH, and neighboring communities, united in our love of bike rides and passionate about sharing resources with each other and the community. We started Sandusky Bay Cycles in 2020 to help promote bike safety and keep the streets of Sandusky safer. We want to give everyone the opportunity to own bikes, bells, lights, and helmets. We want to educate our community in all things bike-related including bike maintenance, bicycle education and safety. Our goal is to keep good bikes out of the landfill and to recycle poorly built or unsafe bikes. We also refurbish and donate bicycles for a wide variety of charities and programs for those in need. We also offer low to no-cost bike repairs. Help us with our mission. Become a member and donate.
