Why Zen Bikes?

My name is John Keoshgerian and for as long as I have worked at bike shops customers have always asked me if I was the owner, humbly I would answer “No I’m just the Manager”. What drove me to work so hard? Simply put it was the satisfaction of seeing a customer who was happy with their purchase and the service I provided that no one else could. Thus I always took the question as a compliment and dreamt of the day that I would run my very own bike shop. After fourteen years of working for others the opportunity arrived and with a lot of sacrifice, some begging, some borrowing and a with bunch of convincing of my wife here we are.
It started with a name and a philosophy, Zen to me best describes the experience of riding any bike. Whether it’s a Sunday afternoon ride with your true love, a hard driving group ride with club members or just tootling around with the little tikes. We at Zen Bikes want to set a mood and create an environment that makes the buying experience reflect this ideal of fun and also an environment of learning and rider development through seminars and classes. Given time I believe that this new viewpoint will bring us success and push other bike shops to put the customer above all as we do.
