Owenhouse Cycling is part of the Owenhouse Hardware Company, founded in 1879. When we say we’ve been in the biking business for a long time, we mean it!

The Owenhouse Cycling building was originally constructed in 1949 as a showroom for tractors and other farming implements. Things have changed a bit over the years, with our latest remodel taking place in 2014.
