Boone Bike & Touring, locally owned & operated by
 Appalachian State Alumni 
"Go, Mountaineers!", has been "Boone's Original Bike Shop" since the late 1970's.
In 2004, Shaw Brown took the leap of ownership with around 15 years of bike shop experience already under his belt.  Not long after, his wife Sarah Brown, left her middle school classroom to join him full time.  They are fortunate to have an experienced Service Manager,  Sam Hutchens, aka the best bicycle mechanic around these parts, on board the entire time!  His dedication to making bicycles perform at their best is appreciated by everyone & keeps customer's coming back year after year.
This hardworking crew is passionate & knowledgeable, helping them become Boone's Small Business of the Year in 2014!  ...and grateful to have earned the Watauga Democrat's 'BEST OF THE BEST Bike Shop' ranking in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 thanks to your votes!

Thank you for awarding us the "Best of the Best" Bicycle Store for 2023!
