One of Grand Junction’s Best-Known Bike Shops Is Closing

If you are a cycling enthusiast and you live anywhere near Grand Junction, chances are, you’ve stopped into Brown Cycles over the years. Since 2000, Brown Cycles has been the home to the region's "no flat guarantee" and the cycling community's go-to for new bikes, repairs, and valuable trail advice.

Just last week, Brown Cycles owner Chris announced to the Western Slope that his shop would be saying goodbye to Grand Junction in July. As they prepare to exit their space on Main Street, the store is offering incredible discounts on all remaining inventory.

Twenty-five years ago, the Grand Valley was still working hard to become the nationally recognized cycling destination it is today. One local business that helped make that happen was Brown Cycles in downtown Grand Junction. It will be hard to see them go as the store grew alongside the region's booming bike culture. Browns is a trusted cycling resource and is known as one of downtown’s most recognized independent retailers.

Brown Cycles Helped Grow Grand Junction's Cycling Culture

A look at the comments on this post from Brown Cycles (above), and it's easy to see that the Grand Valley is sad to see them go. By offering bikes, parts, and accessories at 50% off, now is the time to make a few impulse buys to kick off the summer. If Brown Cycles helped introduce you to the Lunch Loops Trail System, Fruita trails, the Kokopelli Trail, or Colorado National Monument rides, now is the time to stop by and wish them a happy retirement.

Brown Cycles is at 549 Main Street in Downtown Grand Junction. They’re next door to Suehiro Japanese Restaurant near 6^th and Main, and across the street from the Mesa Theatre. When they close for the final time, it will leave a noticeable vacancy on Main Street with some pretty big shoes to fill. Hurry in if you want to take advantage of the liquidation discounts.
