ERIK'S - Bike Board Ski

More About ERIK'S - Bike Board Ski

Erik was only 13 when he started ERIK'S. His first bike, a hand-me-down from an older family member, sparked his interest in bikes. With entrepreneurial spirit, and the money he saved from his job as a paperboy, Erik began his business. He bought 50 used bikes, fixed them up, and sold them. Erik's original workshop was in the barn in his parent's backyard. A homemade sign brought business to his doorstep. By his senior year, Erik's Bike Shop - now stocking NEW bikes and accessories - began to take over storage space from his parents' basement... to the dining room... to the family room. So at 18, Erik moved his business out of his parents' barn and opened his first store! A lot has changed since those early years, but through it all Erik's business philosophy remains... professional, knowledgeable service in a friendly store environment. And Erik still enjoys working at the shops and helping customers find that perfect bike.
