The world needs more people on bikes.

“Bike shops are crucial in getting and keeping people of all abilities and experiences riding.” – Eirik Harteis, Owner, Bridgeway Bikes

Bridgeway Bikes, opened in October 2024 in Brunswick, Maryland, aims to do just that. Offering a wide range of bikes and accessories, as well as bike repair, rental, and maintenance services to Maryland and Virginia’s Potomac Piedmont and C&O Canal towpath cyclists. Bridgeway looks to reviews to see that their shop is quickly gaining a reputation for friendly staff and knowledgeable service.

Small bike shops like Bridgeway Bikes need all the support they can get to thrive in today’s economy. NBDA membership has been instrumental in their successful launch. The educational podcasts, access to industry experts, and connections with other bike shop owners have provided invaluable resources and inspiration. From design and legal advice to business strategies, the NBDA has helped navigate challenges and seize opportunities.

Bridgeway Bikes aspires to be a model for others looking to open small bike shops in small towns. The team wholeheartedly believes that NBDA membership is a cornerstone for a successful launch.
