DRBW Story

I decided to open my own bike shop because I have always loved riding and working on bicycles. Before opening the shop I worked on and sold bikes for 17 years. I studied repair, maintenance, efficient operations, and performance since I started working on bikes in 1999. There is a void in Downtown Akron which I hoped to fill by opening my shop. The best bike trail in Ohio passes right through it and the number of bike lanes and cycle paths are increasing every day. Akron is the gateway to endless outdoor exploration starting with the Towpath and continuing into the Metroparks and the National Park. I am excited to provide a truly exceptional service experience that is sincere, helpful, personal and fun. Our goal is to put you on a bike that will make you want to ride mile after mile - not to just try and make a quick profit. You will immediately notice what a difference getting Dirty makes.
