New Bikes

We stock new Jamis and Raliegh brand bicycles. We carry many hybrid models that are great for errands, rail trail, back roads and exploring around town with your kids. In 2019 we are significantly expanding our mountain bike inventory. We are stocking Jamis entry level through full suspension trail bicycles. Also for 2019 will we are expanding into electric assist bicycles available for rent and purchase.

Local Riding

Disc Golf

J&S is now an authorized dealer for Innova and Dynamic Discs. While not expert disc golfers, we can definitely get you started in having fun with this sport.

Free Bikes

We have a number of bikes that are up for adoption. These bikes used to go to the scrap yard after being stripped for parts. Our hope is to give the bike a new life with someone who may not be ready to buy a bike.
