recyclesbicycleshop.com/recycles-bikes-license Are you a bike shop owner or dreaming of starting your own shop but feeling stuck with low margins, long hours, and no time to enjoy life? What if I told you thereās a better wayāa way to run a simpler, more profitable bike business while living the life youāve always dreamed of?
Hi, Iām Matthew Fox, founder of ReCycles Bikes, a unique shop that thrives by bringing Pre-Loved bikes back to life. Iāve built a profitable business by serving everyday people who need trustworthy bikesānot the flashiest, lightest, or fastest. In doing so, Iāve doubled the industry average salary for shop owners, earning over $100K annually while taking 12ā15 weeks of vacation each year.
Sound too good to be true? Hereās how it all started:
š A Brief ReCycles Bikes Story:
At 8, I swore off bikes after a traumatic bloody knee incident while out on a ride.
At 15, I discovered biking to school instead of taking the bus meant more sleep. I am not a morning person. Suddenly the past trauma wore off.
At 19, I started tinkering with bikes in my garage and found my passion.
By 23, I had a āfancyā chemical engineering job but couldnāt stop dreaming of bikes.
At 25, I took the leap, and gave up a more than healthy salary to open up my shop.
Despite making mistakes, I doubled my first-year projections, and by 28, I was taking home double that of the average shop owner.
At 30, we posted yet another record year while creating a licensing program to help others replicate our success.
Today, ReCycles Bikes has cracked the code for running a smaller-scale, higher-margin bike shop. We cater to an underserved demographicāeveryday people who need everyday bikesāand have built a business thatās as rewarding personally as it is financially.
But hereās the thing: too many bike shops are struggling. Many owners work grueling hours, make little profit, and eventually close their doors. I created this channel to change that. Let's bring bike shops back.
š“āāļø What Youāll Gain From This Channel:
-Proven strategies for running a profitable bike shop.
-How to serve an overlooked yet highly lucrative customer base.
-Ways to simplify operations and increase margins while working less.
-Stories, insights, and mistakes from my journey to inspire and empower you.
This isnāt just another business channelāitās a movement to bring back the local bike shop, minus the snobbery, elitism, and outdated business practices that donāt work anymore. Whether youāre looking to start your shop, scale an existing one, or simply survive in this tough industry, Iām here to help.

It's a great bike. That looks like the bar it was introduced in '18 with - the Salsa Bend 17deg. The Surly Terminal bar (used a year previously) does suit a more casual position. They yearly switch back and forth between 650b and 700c wheel sizes too.
Dressed differently shows the versatility.
