New bike shop that will offer rentals coming to Miamisburg

MIAMISBURG — A full-service bike shop called The Bike Way Bike Shop that will offer rentals is scheduled to open on or about April 19 at 18 N. Main St. near the Great Miami River Trail bike path.

The new bike shop will be owned by Rick John of Germantown, who has worked in some capacity of the bicycle business for about 45 years, including more than five years overseeing the bicycle department at Dick’s Sporting Goods’ store when it was located on Ohio 741 in Miamisburg.

“My dad had a bike shop when I was in my teens,” John said.

John said The Bike Way will sell new bikes and offer repairs to all makes and models of bicycles. He’ll likely start with about 25 rental bikes that customers can use to explore the region’s bike trails.

The new bike shop will likely hire two part-time employees in addition to the owner, who said he will work full time. “We’ll be small, but we will be full-service,” John said.

When it opens, The Bike Way Bike Shop’s phone number will be (937) 384-0337.
