Our Story

A Childhood Passion

Ever since I was a little boy, I loved riding bicycles, at first it was just to get around the block, it then became a new found freedom to explore the world. I was lucky enough to find something I loved, and be able to turn it into a career.

Industry training

Industry Training

Trained by some of the best in the industry, I worked my way up from low man on the totem, to store manager to becoming a regional manager for a chain of 10 bicycle shops.

The Beginning - 1994

In October of 1994, after a few years away from the bicycle industry, I opened up Planetary Cycles with my lifelong friend Danny Savitzky, he was my little brother from another mother. Our goal was always to offer great service and be the shop that no matter where you were along your journey with bicycles, we could help you to the next step.

Growth & Innovation

Cycle Genius

We started a Recumbent bicycle company called Cycle Genius (two of the founding members were in Mensa, not me though lol). We learned a whole new aspect of the bicycle business, from manufacturing to customs to distribution, we had a network of dealers throughout the United States.

Industry awards

Recognition

Planetary Cycles continued to grow, we achieved many awards of distinction, such as being top 50 dealer for Cannondale, Giant and others.

Overcoming challenges

Resilience

We weathered hurricanes, economic downturns, a pandemic among challenges during the years. The profit picture was less important than serving our many clients.

Honoring Danny's Legacy

A True Friend

Around 2018, I lost my partner, friend, confidant and little brother to cancer. It was a big blow, and one I still struggle to get over. Danny worked in the shop during chemo, and did so because he loved being around bicycles and our wonderful family of staff and clients.

Our Second Act

I hope that in our second act, I can honor him and do justice to the little piece of heaven we call Planetary Cycles. We hope you stop by and say hello!
