Crank Works Bicycles

After many years biking and traveling for events and races, we had visited many bike shops across Florida. The combination of good customer service and good mechanics was hard to find. But a good mechanic is integral for every cyclist, especially at the competitive level. We found ourselves making the hour long trip to Ocala every weekend to have our bikes worked on. Hernando County definitely had a need for a good mechanic and a shop with great customer service. In 2006, "Crank Works Bicycles" was conceived but it would take several more years for the right timing to present itself and the shop to materialize. Five years after those initial discussions, we finally opened our doors. Crank Works Bicycles was established in September 2011.

With the support of our community, we have continued to grow, adding more team members and adding another store in Ocala to bring our same great service to Marion County with Crank Works Bicycles-Brick City.

Having been cyclists for many years and working in the industry for several years as well, we were familiar with most of the brands on the market. We used them ourselves and had experiences with many companies as both consumers and at the bike shop level. We endeavored to carry only the best brands in our store and aim to bring great products at a great value.

We are a biking family. Both Mark and Patricia have many, many miles logged on road, mountain, and adventure bikes. Our combined, diverse experiences allow us to solve nearly any problem that presents itself. Experience both riding and working with nearly every brand in the industry allows us to pick the best brands for our customers. We aim to provide the best products, supported with the best customer service, best warranty, at the most reasonable prices. We also personally test a lot of products before we put them on our sales floor to sell to our customers.
