Putting Butts on Bikes Since 1980
Liberty Bicycles #digAVL Video
Liberty Bicycles was founded in 1980 by Mike and Claudia Nix with the mission of putting more people on bikes. Some may know them for their exceptional products and top-notch fitters and mechanics, but it's their personal connection that put them on the map as one of America's Best Bike Shops in 1993. We had the chance to learn more about what makes Liberty Bikes so special to the Asheville community and how they plan to keep getting riders, young and old, on two wheels again. See the video interview here!
