Bicycles Plus was founded by retired BMX pro and American Bicycle Association Hall of Fame member John Crews. Our founding principal was to treat people the way we want to be treated and sales would follow. Crews is also the co-founder of Ride for a Reason charity, which benefi ts Parkinson’s and cancer research and survivorship. The staff at Bicycles Plus genuinely likes their jobs.
