Today, the Bike Barn will be opening a satellite location in the Memorial Union (MU). This location will be known as the Bike Hub and can be found in MU 156.
“For many years now we have become increasingly more aware of how small the Bike Barn space is,” said Shell Sumerel, Bike Hub manager.
In 2009, the Bike Barn opened its first satellite location, the Bike Garage, in the North Entry Parking Structure, offering do-it-yourself bike repair.
“We have wanted to bridge the gap between what we offer at both the Bike Barn central location and the Bike Garage,” Sumerel said.
The Bike Hub will offer bike accessories and apparel, including fenders, rain jackets, lights and locks.
The Bike Hub will be open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
To commemorate the opening of the new location, there will be a celebration on opening day and a sale throughout the first week, during which all items can be bought for 20 percent off.
