Since its invention, the bicycle has been used as a mode of recreational and work related transportation. Today, many individuals continue to use bicycles for these reasons. However, many bicycle shops in the Northeast Ohio region don’t focus on what the day-to-day cyclist needs in a bike. Instead, they offer high performance racing bikes or entry level bikes with very little option in between. It is for this reason and many others that cyclist Mike Hulett decided to open his own bike shop in Bedford: The Broadway Cyclery.

As one of the first bike shops of its type to open in the Summit County and Cuyahoga County areas, The Broadway Cyclery focuses on the more practical side of cycling by offering a variety of bikes and bike accessories for daily life. Some of the high-end bikes available at this location include touring bikes, commuter bikes, mountain bikes, and cargo bikes. For those looking to invest in a more versatile bike for day-to-day use, this bike shop also stocks hybrids.

Hybrid bikes are those that blend features of other bikes– such as mountain and touring models– to create a single bike to accommodate a wide range of terrain and daily uses. Best of all, these quality bikes from The Broadway Cyclery are available at every price point so individuals of every budget type can invest in a top-of-the-line bike that best accommodates their personal preferences. After all, many cyclists who use their bicycle for day-to-day travel are looking for a model that is light, fast, and fun to ride. That is exactly what these hybrid models offer.

As a lifelong cyclist who uses his own bike to commute to work, The Broadway Cyclery owner and operator Mike Hulett strives to provide a variety of different bikes at his shop –including folding bikes—to accommodate the needs of his customers. By working with Independent Fabrication, The Broadway Cyclery can help customers obtain a custom bike built specifically to their measurements and the type of riding they will be doing. The ability to create these custom bikes and provide a wide range of products unavailable at many other bike shops is what has drawn customers from New York, Michigan, and across the Northeast Ohio region to visit The Broadway Cyclery in Bedford.

Alongside a variety of great bikes and bike accessories, The Broadway Cyclery also rents mountain bikes and fat bikes to customers who may only need one of these models for a day of off-road cycling. Of course, renting one of these bicycles is also a great way for customers to determine if a new mountain bike or fat bike is right for them and their cycling endeavors before they decided to purchase. Although both of these bicycle types are great for off-road cycling and varying terrain, one model may be preferred over another based on the terrain they will be used on.

If a customer is unsure about which bike is right for them –including the touring bikes, commuter bikes, and cargo bikes available at The Broadway Cyclery—owner and operator Mike Hulett is happy to help. As an experienced cyclist himself, personal experience and product knowledge allows him to provide customers with the information they need to make an educated decision on which bicycle to purchase for their cycling needs in Cuyahoga County, Summit County and beyond. Best of all, bikes for all budget types are available at The Broadway Cyclery so customers can obtain the high-quality bike they need without breaking their budget.
