Winter Garden bike shop wins national award

Winter Garden Wheel Works has been named one of America’s Best Bike Shops for 2014 by the National Bicycle Dealers Association.

There are about 4,000 bike shops in the United States, and fewer than 300 were chosen for the 2014 list.

Owners Dennis and Karen Jones said they were excited to have the opportunity to be a part of this nationwide program. They attributed their success to their amazing staff and customers who inspire them. This is the fourth consecutive year they have earned the distinction.

“Being chosen is an honor and being the only bike shop in Central Florida is especially exciting,” Dennis Jones said.

To be eligible for consideration, each shop completed an application. Mystery shoppers then evaluated the business in more detail by visiting the store, reviewing their website, and contacting the shop by phone to assess the performance from a consumer’s perspective.

 The program is designed to help consumers find great stores in their areas that will provide the expertise and professionalism they need to get the most benefits from cycling.

Winter Garden Wheel Works is located at 101 W. Plant St., in downtown Winter Garden.
