BCB supports a strong and healthy community through bicycling and local involvement. Hours of operation are 10-6 on Monday through Saturday, closed on Sunday so they can fish for trout.
Diane Cutler and Andy Zivinsky, the owners of the
shop, have lived all over the country prior to discovering Bryson City
and embracing it as home. They are both enthusiastic and accomplished
riders, coming from somewhat non-traditional bicycling backgrounds. Andy
is a former BMX competitor, and was ranked #13 in the state of Florida
as a teenager. He is now an adrenaline-happy mountain biker. Diane
prefers her rides like her coffee, ‘decaffeinated’. But now that she
rides a Niner, she is loving the forest service roads and the occasional
dose of singletrack.
