By AJ Turner — Just over a year ago, in 2017, Ryan Kiel took a chance and pursued a life-long dream. With over a decade working throughout the bike industry, he set out to open his own bike shop – aptly named after his home state. While many might ask, “What is a Hoosier?” Kiel simply states, “It’s not only a tribute to Indiana, it’s synonymous, for me, with hard work and honesty”.
With the help of his friends and family, Kiel has just celebrated a successful first year in business. Bringing high-quality service and bikes to the growing North Ogden area, Kiel also plans to be actively involved with the community – on many levels. From supporting local events, to helping out with the local high-school mountain bike teams, Two Hoosiers Cyclery is making sure it gives back to the community that helps support its business.
When asked more, Kiel comments, “High school mountain biking is awesome. We employ high school mountain bikers, and their excitement is contagious. My brother and I got our start in mountain biking in high school too, and bikes have been a major part of our lives ever since. We would not be where we are today without them. We offer quite a few NICA programs because of this.”
Along with part and clothing offerings for nearly every segment of cycling, Two Hoosiers Cyclery also has an extensive women’s cycling section. In addition to the wide variety of bikes, apparel, and parts available – Two Hoosiers Cyclery also stands behind each of their bike sales with their ‘Lifetime Service Plan’. Purchase a new bike from the shop, and you are guaranteed free service for the lifetime of the bike and your ownership. Kiel mentions, “We’re excited about new-bike-day for each and every one of our customers. We think it’s only fair we see the relationship through, well after the sale, and we can’t wait to hear about all of your rides.”
When visiting the shop, it’s hard not get the family vibe. Kiel’s own father helps and works at the shop, while many of the Kiel’s friends and riding partners stop by to pick up a few parts, or just chat about a recent ride.
