Meet the Schmucks!

Ron has been collecting bicycles since 2003. It wasn't too long after starting that he found that he didn't have space to hold his bounty in his one-bedroom. He shortly had to begin selling his lot, but could not keep from collecting.

In 2006, Ron decided it best to find some commercial space so he could not only keep collecting, but also share his bikes with the world.


Carene is a current student at the School of the Art Intstitue of Chicago and Photographer. She hooked up with Ron in Feb 2008 and builds bikes at the shop, as well as keeps a rotating collection of her own. She keeps active in the cycling community and supports events whenever possible.
