It is with great sadness that Lee and I are saying goodbye to so many great friends and riding partners. For 19 years we have put everything possible into delivering a business that we are proud of and one we hope served the cycling community in Houston. Bike Barn has had an amazing run serving Houston for over 39 years! We thank Rufus and Kitty Barnes who founded Bike Barn in 1983. They were great mentors and built a strong brand that we could build upon and expand in Houston.
The next step for Bike Barn will be under the leadership of Trek Bicycle. They have been a strong partner of ours for years and we know you will see many positive changes in your store experience. You will also see all the familiar friendly faces and knowledgeable staff you might already know. We are excited to see opportunities for our staff to grow with a new company and the opportunity for our stores to grow and continue to serve the Houston market.
Lee and I will continue to ride locally and be involved in many local cycling non-profits and charity rides. We hope to see many of you out on rides and want to say thanks for supporting Bike Barn.
As the transition to Trek occurs, there will be some temporary store closures next week. See below for more details. All the stores will be open under the new Trek ownership on Saturday December 11th.

(Bikes 2) Most of the reflective sticks have been knocked off the concrete dividers, lanes are full of trash, leaves, rocks and city trash cans. At least with a lane of traffic that third lane isn't full of trash. @HoustonTX @HoustonBikePlan
